Holbeach are one of two top-flight teams (Sileby Ranagers are the others) to have avoided a Premier Division defeat this season.

The Tigers beat Huntingdon 5-4 in a humdinger of a contest on Wednesday. They host lowly Oadby at Carter’s Park tomorrow.

Yaxley will try and end Sileby’s unbeaten record tomorrow, when mid-table Peterborough Northern Star attempt to complete a quick double over Leicester Nirvana. Star are away from home.
