Stamford need to win to have any chance of escaping the bottom four. A draw could be enough for Bourne if Bedworth lose at home to second-placed Anstey Nomads. Bourne are at Anstey next Tuesday.

Blackstones are another team in relegation trouble, but they have a formidable task at home to third-placed Grantham Town. Stones are a point above the drop zone, but the team directly below them, Ashby Ivanhoe, have two games in hand.

Fourth-placed FC Peterborough are at Leiston Under 23s in Division One North of the Thurlow Nunn League. The city side drew 1-1 with fifth-placed Wroxham Reserves at the Millfield Autoparts Stadium on Wednesday. Vitor Vaz scored the FC Peterborough goal.
