Preview - Gainsborough Trinity

Craig Singleton10 Oct 2024 - 13:05

Emirates FA Cup fourth qualifying round action is on the agenda on Saturday afternoon as Boston United head to county neighbours Gainsborough Trinity.

The Pilgrims, who were 1-0 victors at the KAL Group Stadium in pre-season, begin their latest adventure in the world's premier cup competition (kick-off 3.00pm).

Trinity recorded home wins over AFC Telford United and Grantham Town – in addition to an away win over higher ranked Darlington – to reach the final qualifying stage.

With £9,375 in prize money – alongside a place in Monday evening's televised first round draw – there is plenty at stake as two of Lincolnshire's non-league sides go head-to-head.

There has not been a competitive non-Lincolnshire Senior Cup meeting between the sides since New Year's Day 2018, when Reece Thompson equalised for the Pilgrims in a 1-1 draw at The Northolme.

Should Saturday's tie end all-square, a replay will take place at the Jakemans Community Stadium on Tuesday (October 15, kick-off 7.45pm).

LIVE COVERAGE
BBC Radio Lincolnshire full-match commentary, courtesy of Dale Storey and Mark Hone, is available.

X updates will be available via @bostonunited throughout the afternoon.

TICKETS
Tickets for away supporters can be purchased here.

KIT WATCH
United will be wearing their home kit of amber and black.
