It’s been a remarkable week for sports in Lincolnshire! Our local teams and athletes have collectively instilled a sense of community pride through successes on the football fields and horse trials.
The spotlight first turns on Boston United who has enhanced their team by acquiring the former Grimsby defender, Matty Carson. With Carson recently leaving the League Two club, his recruitment signals a much-needed boost for Boston United’s defence. It seems we can expect some exhilarating matches in times to come.
Simultaneously, the Spalding United FC men’s team is eagerly awaiting their debut game on a newly constructed £1m artificial pitch. This notable enhancement shows immense promise for the club and the local community, setting up a state-of-the-art stage for our skilled Tulips.
Switching our focus to Scunthorpe, the town witnessed a surge of activity with the National League declaring United’s win against Wealdstone, whilst their match against Eastleigh awaits an exciting replay. The unwavering spirit of our Lincolnshire football teams, demonstrated by their resilience and determination, continues to inspire us.
Yet, not to be overlooked are our equestrian champions. Lincolnshire’s very own Ros Canter bagged a back-to-back victory at the esteemed Burghley Horse Trials, while astride Lordships Graffalo. Impressively, she accomplished this whilst being pregnant with her second child. Talk about being a superwoman!
The recent week serves as a testament to the zeal and commitment that powers Lincolnshire’s sports scene. It has been a whirlwind journey of triumphs, developments, and stellar performances adding to the opulent legacy of our county’s sports history. Hence, let’s raise a toast to our athletes, our teams, and to all fans for their steadfast support. Collectively, we shape the spirit of Lincolnshire sports.
