Boston Town’s 6-match unbeaten run came to an end as Wisbech Town moved above them on goal difference in the United Counties League Premier North table.
Jordan Nuttell got the visitors’ goal – his 7th of the season. He pounced on a defensive error to equalise almost immediately after the Fenmen had gone 1-0 ahead.
But the hosts restored their lead before the break and a late penalty sealed the points.
It wasn’t ideal preparation for Martyn Bunce’s side ahead of one of their biggest cup ties in recent years.
They travel to Worcester City on Saturday (2 December) in the 3rd round of the FA Vase.
Town will be firm underdogs against a side who had won 11 league games in a row until being held to a 1-1 draw at the weekend.
Town: Portas, Worthington, Millar (Young), Tate, Ford, Wilson, Adams, Maddison, Nuttell (Langford), Dakin (Rigby), Bayliss; unused subs: Field, Borbely
