Boston Town’s poor recent record at the Haydon Whitham Stadium continued as they were sunk by a later Will Bird goal.
It’s now 6 years since they last beat Deeping away – when a Jordan Nuttell hat-trick earned a 3-1 success in April 2016.
Gary Edgley’s side had a terrible first 10 minutes that saw them trailing 2-0.
Harry Limb pulled one back after 19 minutes and then Abou Sylla looked to have earned at least a point when he equalised with a quarter of an hour left.
But it was the home side who clinched a winner, leaving the Poachers regretting their squandered chances.
Town: Woolley, Mucklin, Thompson, Ofushine, Ford, Tate, Beeson (Eyett), Sylla, Bayliss (Reynolds), Limb, L White
