In seven League and Cup ties, the scholars have conceded only twice. Once in the league as they drew 1-1 with Antsey Nomads, and the other in the 5-1 win against Newark and Sherwood United in the FA Cup. Joseph Lloyd leads the scoring scoring charts for Loughborough with four goals in his five games, while Anthony Lynn, William Mycroft-Edwards and Ethan O'Toole all have three to their name so far this season.

Match Details

For this game, the Gainsborough Trinity Board of Directors have reduced the admission prices. With the adult price slashed to £10. It's £6 for concessions and £2 for U16s. Supporters are reminded that Season Tickets are not valid for this tie. If the scores are level in this one, there will be a replay on Tuesday evening. Car parking is available opposite the main turnstiles, priced at £2 per vehicle. Street parking around the ground is also an option, but we ask that supporters park considerately, and do not obstruct driveways and allocated car parks.

The Blues Club at the ground is open from midday and will be showing the Merseyside Derby between Everton Liverpool (12:30 kick off) and Aston Villa vs Manchester City (17;30). A warm welcome is extended to both home and away supporters.
