Town will look to add another chapter to their proud county history this evening as they face Boston United in the 2026 Lincolnshire FA County Senior Cup Final.

The Mariners travel to the Jakemans Community Stadium for a 7pm kick-off, with silverware and local bragging rights firmly on the line under the lights.

A Chance To Add To County History

The Lincolnshire Senior Cup remains one of the county’s most historic competitions, organised by the Lincolnshire FA and dating back to the late 19th century.

Town have long been a dominant force in the competition, lifting the latest version of the competition 15 times, with their most recent success coming in the 2014/15 campaign. Victory tonight would see the Mariners further strengthen their standing among the county’s most successful sides and add another honour to a legacy that stretches back well over a century.

Road To The Final

The Mariners have shown resilience and quality throughout this season’s competition to book their place in the final.

A composed 2-0 victory over Cleethorpes Town in the semi-final secured progression, with Clarke Oduor opening the scoring early before Andy Cook marked his return with a goal from the penalty spot. Goalkeeper Seb Auton played a key role, producing a series of outstanding saves to preserve the clean sheet.

That followed a dramatic quarter-final tie against Scunthorpe United, where a youthful Town side held their nerve to win on penalties after a 1-1 draw, with Charlie Casper saving the decisive spot-kick.

Boston United, meanwhile, booked their place in the final with a 3-1 victory over Lincoln United, setting up an exciting all-Lincolnshire showdown.

Opportunity For Emerging Talent

This evening’s fixture will see the Mariners field a mixed side, combining academy prospects with first team players.

The competition has provided a valuable platform throughout the campaign for emerging talent to step into senior football, and tonight offers another opportunity for the Club’s next generation to perform on a big stage.

With a place in the history books at stake, it promises to be a significant occasion for those looking to make their mark in Town colours.

This evening’s side will be managed by Shaun Pearson, with Ray Shearwood as his assistant.
