Pilgrims prepare for derby tussle

Nathan Thompson

It’s derby day in the Puma Youth Alliance on Saturday, with Boston United playing host to Lincoln City at RAF College Cranwell.

Under-18s coach Ray Power is expected to have a near fully-fit squad to choose from, although Aaron Butcher and Nick Jackson will again be on first team duty.

Power is hopeful that Nathan Thompson and Billy Oliver will be fit to face the Imps after recent injury problems.

Earlier in the season, the two sides fought out a 1-1 draw, with Alex Beck scoring for the Pilgrims.

Boston (from): Hewitt, Griffiths, Mountain, Ashton, Day, Fairweather, Baker, Braithwaite, Beck, Clancy, Oliver, Draper, Thompson, Maltby, Hutchinson, Carr.
