Young Imps to face Lincoln United and Skegness Town

Academy pre-season update showing fixtures against Lincoln United and Skegness Town

The young Imps will face Lincoln United and Skegness Town as part of their pre-season preparations ahead of the 2026/27 campaign.

Sam Tillen’s side will face Lincoln United at the Sun-Hat Villas and Resorts Stadium on Friday 10 July (7.45pm KO) in their first outing of pre-season before a trip to Skegness Town on Tuesday 21 July (7pm KO).

City’s U18 side will also face a number of different oppositions behind closed doors before the start of the Youth Alliance North campaign.

Tillen said: “It’s really exciting to have a test against two senior sides, they provide a different challenge for the lads and it will be a good indicator of where we are at heading into the new campaign.

"The break is important, but we're already looking ahead to getting the lads back at the end of June. Once pre-season starts, the focus shifts to putting the work in, and I'm sure we'll be in a great place and raring to go when the season begins."
