Louth have second spot on their minds

THE Lincolnshire ECB Premier League championship may already have been decided but, in the final week of the 2009 season, there is still all to play for lower down the table.

Louth will be going all out for victory over Messingham in the hope that they can sneak into the runners-up slot should Skegness slip up at home to Market Deeping.

But Messingham also need a win to have a chance of going back above Caistor at the bottom of the table, which would give them an outside chance of survival if one of the two contenders for promotion fails to meet the required criteria.

Caistor entertain Lindum, the Lincoln side looking to go out on a high note by regaining fourth place, which is currently held by Sleaford.

However, both teams have Woodhall Spa breathing down their necks and Jack Luffman's side will be keen to retain their place in the top half of the table.

Sleaford are at home to Bourne, who were pushed into 10th place after Nettleham caught up on their game in hand last weekend.

This week Nattleham take on Grimsby, the team just above them, at Augusta Street.

Woodhall have the toughest game, entertaining champions Bracebridge Heath at Jubilee Park in a match that brings together Mark Fell – current record holder for most runs in a season – and Andrew Crook, who needs to hit just 20 to break Fell's record.
