Moulton Harrox are gearing up for a season defining Lincs FA Junior Cup semi-final with a very strong Brumby side on Saturday.
Paul Kent’s Harrox go into the Broad Lane clash (1.30pm) in fine form, having won their last five games on the bounce.
With the Moulton out of the running for trophies in the ChromaSport Peterborough League, this represents their only shot at silverware.
But Brumby, who are based in the TSW Printers Scunthorpe and District Football League, are unbeaten in the 16 games they’ve played in all competitions this season.
The winners will play either Hykeham Town or Swineshead Institute in the final.
