Lincs League: Mixed bag for Sleaford Sports Amateurs
A double from Jack Wright allied to Nathan Thompson and Aidan Meacher strikes and an own goal gave Amateurs a handsome 5-1 win at third-bottom Nettleham last Wednesday evening.
But the standard of opposition got tougher on Saturday as they travelled to third-placed Lincoln Moorlands Railway and were beaten 4-0 at the in-form side.

On Saturday they will hope to make up further ground when they travel to second-bottom Market Rasen Town who are without a league win for five months. Kick-off is 3pm.
Sleaford Town Reserves are one place below Amateurs after a midweek defeat to Wyberton at Eslaforde Park.
Ryan Rushen’s goal gave the hosts the half-time lead, but a second-half double from Fraser Bayliss gave the visitors a 2-1 win - a fifth straight victory.
Town have another blank weekend, but return next Wednesday with a home match against Nettleham (kick-off 7.45pm).
