Bourne take on Grantham and neighbours Market Deeping in a triangular tournament (from 10am) with the winners moving onto finals day later this month.

The Winkworth Cup is the T20 competition for Lincolnshire. Bourne qualified for the national rounds by beating Woodhall Spa in the final last summer and will be favourites to triumph again even though they lost easily to Deeping in a Lincs Premier Division game a fortnight ago.
