DIVISION two's programme in the Lincolnshire County Cricket League could hardly have been better arranged – the top four all meeting each other.

Dan Wood's Grimsby Town 2nds entertain Dan Healy's Caistor Town 2nds at Augusta Street, while Messingham 2nds have home advantage against Market Rasen.

Alkborough 2nds welcome bottom-placed Outcasts 2nds to West Halton Lane, while lowly Cleethorpes 4ths host mid-table Hartsholme 2nds at the Stamford Homes ground in Grimsby.

There's also an important game for Haxey 2nds – not having the best of campaigns – who visit Todmoor to take on Owmby.

A packed programme tomorrow in the premier division offers some interesting clashes.

In the lower reaches of the table, Appleby-Frodingham 2nds and Bracebridge Heath 2nds meet up for the second time in successive weeks, the venue on this occasion being the Scunthorpe Steelmen's Brumby Hall base.

A win for the Lincoln team will lift them clear of the relegation zone.

Having lost a couple of recent games, Andy Langford's leaders Messingham travel to Lol Waghorn's mid-table South Kelsey, while second-placed Caistor, led by Peter Briggs, host Liam Redmond's Scunthorpe Town, who are third-from-bottom.

Gareth Mellors' Barton Town (third) have home advantage against Horncastle (seventh), as do Mark Atkins' Haxey (fifth), who welcome eight-ranked Cleethorpes 2nds to their village venue with its impressive facilities.

Division one's top clash will be at Broughton, where Matt Spikings' leaders Cherry Willingham pay a visit to a ground with very happy memories for them, having clinched the divisional championship there a few years ago.

Fellow promotion-chasers Alford, who have been racking up the runs this season, host lowly Nettleham 2nds.

Mid-table Louth 2nds entertain Scothern at London Road, while Outcasts welcome Holton-le-Clay to Hirst Priory.

In division three, Stamford Homes look to keep up their championship challenge with a short trip to bottom-placed Holton-le-Clay 2nds.

Meanwhile, Stamford's nearest rivals, leaders Keelby, entertain Barton Town 2nds (fifth).

Playing their first season at this level of the Lincs League, Washingborough have adapted well, and tomorrow they entertain Ron Farmery's Immingham Blossom Way.

Scunthorpe Town 2nds and Broughton 2nds, who meet up at Heslam Park, could both do with a decent points haul to allay concerns about relegation. And the same applies to Cherry Willingham 2nds, who entertain third-placed Hibaldstow.

In division four, the top-ranked trio are all in action – third-placed Caistor 3rds visiting Morton, leaders Old Lincolnians hosting Alford 2nds, and second-in-the-table South Kelsey journeying to Scunthorpe Town 3rds, who play their home games at Hibaldstow.

Keen to keep clear of the re-election zone, Hykeham 2nds entertain Keelby 2nds, while bottom side Brigg Town face a "must win" game at Market Rasen 2nds.

There is only one Sunday match – but it's an important one affecting the lower rankings in division one, Cleethorpes 3rds taking on local rivals Holton-le-Clay at Chichester Road.
