A Lookahead at our trip to Wyberton ...

It's the second year running that we've made it to the Quarter-Finals of the LFA Junior County Cup, which is some achievement in itself. In last year's quarter-final we were knocked out by Grimsby Borough Reserves, this year it's a tough trip to face Wyberton - this coming Saturday 27th January, 1:30pm kick-off - as we look to go one step further. There are six Lincs League sides remaining.

Wyberton are currently 9th in the Lincolnshire Football League but were League Champions just two seasons ago and finished second last season with a hefty 80 points.

Wyberton have lost just 2 Home Games all season and won 8 of their last 10 games - both defeats coming against current League Leaders Nettleham.

Keelby should be full of confidence having won 11 games in a row (League & Cup) currently, scoring 44 and conceding 10 in that period.

Keelby have beaten Wyberton just once in six attempts - a 1-0 Home win back in October 2020 - whilst our last trip to Wyberton saw the home side win 6-1 back in August's League Fixture.
