This weekend Boston United Centre of Excellence host the fourth annual Pilgrim Cup competition at RAF College Cranwell.

The tournament, sponsored by Tony Vamplew's Auto Centre of Redstone Industrial Estate, Boston, is now in its fourth year and will see 117 sides take part this Saturday and Sunday (May 18 and 19).

Last season over 80 sides took part across weekend with over 1,500 people attending.

It is anticipated that over 2,500 people will attend this event to watch the Pilgrims' elite youngsters take part against Football League and Football Conference opposition.

The tournament is a Centre of Excellence and elite development club
tournament only and now has a reputation as being one of the biggest in
the region at this level.

Sides taking part include Boston United, Lincoln City, Grimsby Town,
Doncaster Rovers, York City, Histon, West Bromwich Albion, Bristol City, Mansfield Town and Corby Town.

The tournament at RAF College Cranwell (NG34 8HB) will see the action on both days start at 10.30am and conclude by 4.30pm.
