Travelling to Immingham Town Reserves, Old Boys trailed 1-0 to Thomas Hobson’s 18th-minute goal, and their hopes of rescuing a point were sunk by three goals in 15 minutes after the hour mark from Daniel Scrimshaw, Cameron Smyth and Bradley Stringfellow.

With the derby between AFC Louth and Old Boys Reds called off, Alford Town were our only Division Two team in action when they travelled to North Somercotes United Reserves in the East Lincs Trophy.
