Digging In
Action from a Lincolnshire League match at the Stamford Club on Clee Road in Old Clee. Hosts Cleethorpes Town, the runaway league leaders, are in the process of losing 1-0 to Hykeham Town (white shirts). It was the Owls' first defeat in 43 league games. Cleethorpes' first team will cease to use this ground at the end of the season because, having applied to join the Northern Counties East League, from the 2012-13 campaign they will share the Bradley Community Stadium with Grimsby Borough, another NCEL club. It seems the long-term plan is to build a suitable ground on the Old Clee site, with this pitch to be moved nearer to Clee Road. At present, the dug-outs in this shot are the only structures around the first team pitch at the Stamford Club, which is shared with cricket and bowls.
