League

Grimsby Borough vs Skegness Town - Lucarly's Sports Ground, 15:00

Grimsby Borough were one of the worst sufferers of the broken winter fixture list, but showed no sign of rustiness last weekend when they turned out a solid performance to win 3-0 against Immingham Town to book their spot in the Supplementary Cup Final in April.

Although they may subsequently have one eye on that date, they still have seven league games to attend to, starting this weekend as they host Skegness Town at the Lucarly's.

As for the Lilywhites, back to back wins has seen them creep up to 4th place in the standings. But with this years title currently within Rustons' reach, the seasiders cannot afford to come back from their travels with anything but a win this weekend.

Nettleham vs Ruston Sports - Mulsanne Park, 15:00

Having come through the challenge of Louth Town last weekend, by easing to a 5-1 victory, their next potential banana skin comes in the shape of local rivals Nettleham FC, away at Mulsanne Park.

The reverse fixture, which was played just last month saw the league leaders come from behind twice to win an eight goal thriller, 5-3.

A repeat of this result, would see Ruston's move eight points clear at the summit of the table, and more importantly one step closer to achieving a feat they have been unable to accomplish in almost twenty years.

Wyberton vs Louth Town - The Causeway, 15:00

The last time Wyberton enjoyed victory in the league, came the last time these two sides met, ending in tight 1-0 victory to the Boston side.

On this occassion both teams come into the game off the back of defeats, Wyberton losing on penalties to Horncastle in the Supplementary Cup and the White Wolves receiving a 5-1 drubbing away at Ruston Sports.

Wyberton will be looking to maintain their unbeaten home record in the league, whilst Louth, who have accumulated every single point on the their travels, will be keen to add another three to their tally in this bottom half clash.

Challenge Cup

Brigg Town Development vs Immingham Town - The Hawthorns, 14:00

The Zebra's currently prop up the Lincs League table, but have a huge opportunity to turn their season on it's head if they can defy the odds and become Challenge Cup champions.

In their way, at the semi final stage, stands Immingham Town, a side who will also be putting league matters to the wayside while they focus on the only keep competition they remain in, after being knocked out of the Supplementary Cup versus Grimsby Borough last time out.
