GRIMSBY are looking to end a disappointing run of results in the Readers Lincolnshire ECB Premier League when they host Skegness tomorrow afternoon.

Grimsby have slipped outside the top six in recent weeks while Skegness, also on a poor run, have slipped to fourth.

Louth, who visit Hartsholme, have slid down to tenth but still have a sizeable lead over eleventh-placed Boston who host Nettleham.

The latter sees the league's top two batsmen clash. Nettleham's Warren Nel has notched up 828 runs while Jonathan Cheer of Boston is on 702, but on paper Boston should have the edge in the bowling department with Dan Milgate and Colin Cheer in the top five bowlers – Milgate with 43 wickets and Cheer with 32.

Elsewhere, leaders Bourne – chasing a first championship win since 2001 – face second-place Bracebridge Heath with Fahad Masood coming to Cross O'Cliff Court intent on adding to his 58 wickets.

Masood needs 11 victims in his final three games to pass Kris Adams' record, which has stood since 2003, and Bracebridge's batsmen will need to be on good form to keep him out.

Third-placed Sleaford entertain Market Deeping knowing that, if Bracebridge slip up, a victory at London Road could push them into second place.

Lindum, who have replaced Grimsby in sixth place, travel to Woodhall Spa who are ninth in the table but appear to be out of danger of relegation.

FIXTURES: (2pm start) Sleaford v Market Deeping; Hartsholme v Louth; Bracebridge Heath v Bourne; Boston v Nettleham; Woodhall Spa v Lindum; Grimsby v Skegness.
