PREVIEW: Potentially decisive title battle at PSL, Spalding could secure play-off place

Leaders Peterborough Sports Reserves host third-placed Pinchbeck United in a classic contest between potential champions.

Sports are a point ahead of Pinchbeck and both sides have 10 matches to play. Moulton Harrox are currently second, on the same points as Pinchbeck, but have played two games more.

Sports were pleased to see strong striker Karl Gibbs back in goal-scoring action at the weekend. They’ll need his power tonight to counter the threat of the visitors’ Ollie Maltby, the top scorer in the top flight.

Stamford Lions chase their 13th straight Premier Division win when they host local rivals Ketton tonight. Ketton knocked Lions out of the Daniels Cup 2-0 last week (April 5).

Blackstones tackle Cottesmore in the semi-final of that competition at Bourne Town FC tonight.

Spalding United could seal their place in the Division One South play-offs in the Northern Premier Division tonight if results go their way. Third-placed Spalding, who have four games left, host fourth-placed Basford, but the Tulips will also have their eye on the results of play-off rivals Newcastle Town and Stocksbridge Park Steels.

Struggling AFC Stamford are at lowly Carlton Town tonight.
