A Lincoln Sunday league football manager will be remembered in a memorial game. Steve Cawte, the former Hykeham Town manager and vice-chairman, died last summer. He had struggled with heart problems, and will be commemorated in a match on Friday, April 11. Money will be raised for mental health charity Mind. Steve’s wife Nikki, 40, said: “It’s overwhelming and a great testament. We knew how incredible he was, we knew what we saw in him, and we knew other people did too.

Lincoln City dinted Huddersfield Town’s Sky Bet League One play-off hopes with a tight win by a goal to nil. The Imps struck in the first-half, with Reeco Hackett tapping the ball home at the back past following a neat flick on of a Tom Bayliss corner from Adam Jackson. Huddersfield, under the interim charge of club legend Jon Worthington, were lacklustre in the final third. Their attacks broke down repeatedly, with star striker Joe Taylor a passer-by for much of his return to Lincolnshire.

“He came onto the pitch and swung for my face." This is what happened to Tim Hughes, who was attacked at an under-17s game in Lincoln. “Thankfully I was able to get my arm up and he just knocked me over, rather than connecting with my cheekbone,” he said. The son of one of the managers in the game rushed onto the field after being ordered to leave the ground due to verbal abuse. The 41-year-old managed to avoid the punch, and filed a complaint to the police as the game was being filmed.

Lincoln City head coach Michael Skubala was “happy to hear” that a former Nottingham Forest man has hit the ground running at his new club. Tyler Walker has had a torrid time since returning to the Imps, being blighted by injuries and now sent out on loan ahead of the end of his contract. The striker will leave Lincoln in the summer, after making just eight appearances across this and last season.

Lincoln City were impressive in victory over Bristol Rovers, with consecutive home wins secured by the Imps. Jovon Makama opened the scoring with a driving effort, before Tom Bayliss stunningly netted directly from a corner and James Collins curled a beauty beyond the reach of Jed Ward. Makama added his second after the hour mark, laying the groundwork for his hat-trick sealing goal with just ten minutes left of the game.

Shrewsbury Town were rocked by a red card inside ten seconds as they lost to Peterborough United. It was a huge game in the fight for Sky Bet League One safety, as Posh eventually won 3-1 after a manic start to the afternoon. Salop manager Gareth Ainsworth reacted to defeat, in which John Marquis was sent off in the first few seconds for an adjudged to be dangerous elbow. The dismissal was a likely EFL record for the earliest red card.

A red card inside the opening ten seconds set up a vital win for Peterborough United, as they put more space between themselves and the drop zone.

Lincoln City and Charlton Athletic were forced to share the spoils in a lacklustre SkyBet League One encounter. Michael Skubala’s men were condemned to a sixth league game without victory, while Charlton’s vein of form continued in its mixed, inconsistent fashion. A point is not to be sniffed at, especially in a competitive League One. However, I would hazard a guess that neither side were too happy with their performances in the televised clash.

Wrestle Carnival has been reignited heading into the new year, but with a format that takes inspiration from an unlikely source. The Coventry-based wrestling promotion will host a trio of events in 2025. However, instead of the traditional format of wrestlers fighting for championships, wrestlers will instead aim to win three yearly tournaments. Gary Ward, the company’s founder and owner, said: “Snooker played a significant role in my inspiration.
