Rivals and Local Games
Gainsborough Trinity's location on the bank of the river trent pitts them against a host of clubs from Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire. The most noted local derby's for Gainsborough are against Boston United and Worksop Town, as both clubs have spent numerous seasons in both the Northern Premier League and Conference North divisions with Trinity. Games with either Boston or Worksop are traditionally played on Boxing Day and New Years Day.
Professional clubs in traditional Lincolnshire such as Lincoln City, Scunthorpe United and Grimsby Town have rarely played Trinity outside of pre-season tournament's such as the Lincolnshire Senior Cup. The last competitive match between Trinity against a professional Lincolnshire club was when they played Lincoln City in the first round of the FA Cup in the 1996–97 season, with Trinity eventually losing 3–2 in the replay following a 1–1 draw at Sincil Bank.
Other clubs in Trinity's geographical region are Retford United, Lincoln United, Sleaford Town and Lincoln Moorlands Railway but all operate in league's lower than Trinity's on the football pyramid.
