Little is a former Aston Villa manager

Gainsborough manager Brian Little says he is impressed with the job being done by joint-managers Rob Scott and Paul Hurst at local rivals Boston United.

The Blue Square Bet North sides meet at the Northolme on Boxing Day, and again at York Street on New Year's Day.

"Boston have had a fantastic start to the season and are a very good team," Little told BBC Lincolnshire.

"I've been very impressed about how their management have got them together and how they are playing."

The two teams met at York Street on 20 November in the FA Trophy, with Boston winning 2-1.

Trinity have not played a game since due to the bad weather, while the Pilgrims have played just once - a 1-0 Trophy victory at York City on 4 December.

"It'll be a massive day for us - it's a great one to come back to, so lets hope it's on because we all want to play some football," added Little.

Boston are fourth in the Blue Square Bet North table, with Trinity in 17th.
