This is Grimsby

LOUTH host second-placed Nettleham in the ECB Premier League tomorrow.

They lost narrowly to the leaders Bourne last weekend, but are still not out of danger in ninth place, only two above the relegation zone.

The previous fixture between the sides, at Mulsanne Park, was won by Nettleham after it produced more than 500 runs.

Grimsby Town will face the might of Fawad Alam when Woodhall Spa visit Augusta Street.

Woodhall Spa are keen to forget last weekend's batting collapse that left them only just above Boston in the table.

Leaders Bourne take on Skegness at Richmond Road.

Having held top place a couple of weeks ago, the seasiders have dropped to fourth and need a win to stay in touch with their opponents.

But whereas Skegness won the early season game at Abbey Lawn, now they meet a side whose star is in the ascendancy following the return of David Christmas to the team to back up all-rounder Fahad Masood who last week passed the 40 wicket mark.

Bracebridge Heath are eager to regain the top slot when they travel to Ashby Avenue, where Hartsholme will be attempting to stop them – and gain points that will take them off the bottom of the table.

Boston, in 11th, have opened up a small gap and will be looking to widen this when they take on sixth-placed Sleaford at London Road. The home side have had an erratic season and Boston will be hoping to catch them on a downward slide.

Below Sleaford are Lindum and Market Deeping who meet at Outgang Road with the victor looking at a place in the top six.
