Poacher's Cup is coming to the LNER Stadium this summer!

Has your child got what it takes to follow in the footsteps of their heroes and become a Poacher’s Cup champion on the famous LNER Stadium turf?

This summer, the Imps welcome football teams in U7 and U8 age brackets to offer an experience your child will never forget!

On May 16 2026, the event starts at 9am where U7 age grouped teams will get the chance to play on the LNER Stadium’s pitch. Each team will get a guaranteed 60 minutes playing time and this will run until midday.

All of the U8 teams will then begin their tournament, once again each team receiving a guaranteed 60 minutes playing time at the home of Lincolnshire Football. This will finish at 4pm, giving teams four hours of footballing fun.

If it’s friendly competition you’re after, or just an exciting day out for the team, this tournament offers something for everyone getting involved.

We have a special early bird offer - any team who books on before the end of 2025 will pay just £199. This secures this unique chance to play on the pitch for the team and entry to watch for as many spectators as needed - this is the guaranteed cheapest price to enter the tournament so don’t miss out!
