Harry Limb is the first Poachers player to score a hat-trick in consecutive games for 28 years.
His haul in the 4-1 FA Vase win against Lutterworth Athletic on Saturday matched his triple the previous week in the 6-1 of Selston.
Only three players have previously managed back-to-back hat-tricks for the club – the most recent being Carl Smaller in 1993. Prior to that only Colin Smith in 1964 and Bob Edwards a year later had ever achieved the feat.
Boston Town historian Simon Ashberry said: “It’s a fantastic feather in Limbo’s cap, especially when you consider that legendary goalscorers like Nick Mallinder, Gary Bull and Dave Scotney never managed hat-tricks in successive games for the club.
“This is exactly the kind of thing that we’re celebrating in the new book To Be A Poacher that we’re publishing this autumn. It should prove to be essential reading for all Boston Town fans.”
