United were due to host in-form Ludford Rovers on Saturday.

But on Thursday night they received a call letting them know the opposition would not be able to raise a side for the quarter-final clash.

Skegness were awarded a home walkover.

United will spend Christmas on top of the Philip Jackson Division Two of the East Lincs Football Combination.

They sit six points clear of second-placed North Thoresby and have played one game fewer.
