Patterson admits Moulton Harrox are big favourites to progress in Lincs Junior Cup

Moulton Harrox continue their quest for Lincs FA Junior Cup glory on Saturday with a third round clash against Louth Town Reserves at Broad Lane (1.30pm).

Harrox, who are five-time winners of the county competition and last lifted the crown in 2018, are hot favourites to progress.

Louth’s second string are top of the East Lincs Combination League Division One table with seven wins and a draw from eight games, so Harrox co-boss Bobby Patterson isn’t under-estimating them.

He said: “We’re used to playing Louth’s first team in this competition, so to play their Reserves is a bit of a change.

“We know we’re hot favourites to progress, but they’re having a good season so we’ll treat them with respect.

“It’s a competition we’ve got great pedigree in and want to win it again.”

In the same competition Crowland Town are also in action at Deeping Reserves, while their Reserves host Pointon and Tydd are at home to North Somercotes United.

All three of those ties kick-off at 1.30pm.
