Gainsborough Trinity last night, booked their place in the Lincolnshire Senior County Cup final with a 3-2 victory over Grantham Town at the Martin & Co Arena, following goals from Jonathan Williams, Nathan Stainfield and Nathan Jarman. Grantham had the first clear cut chance of the sunlit evening in Gainsborough, when Jordan Hepenstall’s shot inside the box narrowly missed the far post, taking a deflection on the way out for a corner kick.

As a result of Saturday’s 4-1 victory over a youthful Lincoln City side, Trinity find themselves with a midweek double header at the Martin & Co Arena, where the Holy Blues first entertain League One Rotherham United, before welcoming Grantham Town in the Semi Finals of the Lincolnshire County Cup.

A hectic period of three games in five days is complete with the short trip to Lincoln United on Saturday, when the Blues travel to the Sun Hats Villas & Resorts Stadium for a 3:30 kick off. We have been advised that the later than normal kick off time is to prevent a clash with the Lincoln City vs Peterborough United pre-season friendly that kicks off at 1pm in the City.

We continue our pre-season campaign tomorrow (Saturday 8th July, 3pm kick off) away at Frickley Athletic, having started our games on Monday with a hard fought 0-1 away victory over Winterton Rangers. With another session in the bank on Thursday evening, the Trinity squad is further boosted by the return of Thomas Davie from holiday. Ellis Storey has completed his core work and is ready for action. Craig King and Bradley Wells are also available for selection on Saturday. Chris Salt is still unavailable through injury, but will likely travel to Frickley’s Westfield Lane ground.

It was a first half tap in by Rotherham’s Jamie Procter that settled the difference between them and The Holy Blues on Tuesday night at The Martin & Co Arena. It was a good battle between the two sides and Trinity may feel a little hard done by for coming away with a loss due to the talent and overall effort that was put on display by the home side.

Gainsborough Trinity look to bounce back from Thursday night’s defeat to FC Halifax Town by progressing to the next round of the Lincolnshire County Cup when they face Lincoln City at the Martin & Co Arena. Despite conceding the first goals of the pre-season campaign, plenty of positives were to be taken as Dave Frecklington’s men continue to prepare for the opening day of the 2017/18 Vanarama National League North campaign, at home to Leamington FC.

A second successive 1-0 win on the road for Gainsborough Trinity, saw the Holy Blues continue their build up to Saturday 5th August's Vanarama National League North opener at home to Leamington. This time, a Jonathan Wafula finish six minutes before half time was the difference between the two sides and with clear cut chances at a premium, Trinity's second victory, and second clean sheet in five days was hardly in doubt.
