Under 21s are no a Reserve team. Seems these games are being arranged at short notice, little publicity and little interest as all friendlies. They are not strictly all under 21 although proper u-21 Leagues do allow 2 over-age players per side.
For those interested, the Lincolnshire League is now down to, for all intents and purposes, 11 teams with Louth Town Reserves no longer able to raise a side in their "return" season to the League. How did they manage to fool the League Committee again to convince them they were had enough players to commit to the competition - embarrassing. Skegness Town, the holders, are so far unbeaten and have ex-Pilgrims Andy Hewitt, Joby Gowshall, Keiran Elliot and Liam Parker in their ranks. Loads of ex-Pilgrims can be found in the League: Edwards, Sargeant and Stones at Horncastle; Ogden and Orrey at Wyberton, etc.
The Lincs League are still able to provide 3 match officials for each game but each team now only has 20 League Games and a minimum of 5 cup games in a season.
The games are always very lively and competitive but how long can this League survive? Must admit, thought there wouldn't be a Lincs League this season given past issues.
