Elliott expects ‘really competitive game’ against Grimsby Town
Craig Elliott is expecting a ‘really competitive game’ when Boston United entertain Grimsby Town in a pre-season friendly.
Former Pilgrims boss Paul Hurst and ex-player Shaun Pearson will be in town for the contest, which kicks off at 3pm on Saturday, August 7 - one week before the start of the National League North season begins.

“I think this one will be a really competitive game,” Elliott said.
“It’s just before our season starts so both teams will be where they need to be in terms of match fitness.
“There’s not a lot between us now in terms of league positions so I think it’ll be a really good game.”
The Mariners were relegated from League Two last season.
