There could be some familiar names lining up against Boston Town in the Lincs Senior Trophy.
Jake Park is the son of Alf, who played for the Poachers when they beat Spalding United 3-2 in the final of this competition in 1988-89. Jake’s uncle Stu Park scored that night and also in the following year’s final when Boston beat Holbeach United 2-1 to retain the trophy.
There’s another family connection with current Lincoln United player Elliot Dye – his dad Darren Dye had a very brief spell with Boston, although it’s Dean Dye who will be better remembered at the club. Dean also played in the final win against Spalding in 1988-89 and scored 21 goals that season, one which saw Bill Brindley’s side complete a memorable double by winning the Central Midlands League Supreme Division title.
Here’s the matchday squad that Martyn Bunce is expected to select his starting XI from:
1 Travis Portas
2 Jordan Tate
3 Dan Worthington
4 Richard Ford
5 Luke Wilson
6 Jason Field
7 Zane Millar
8 Lee Beeson
9 Layton Maddison
10 Liam Adams
11 Fraser Bayliss
12 Jordan Nuttell
13 Lori Borbely
14 Lucas Dakin
15 Harry Limb
16 Patrik Bad
One player who will unfortunately miss out is the cup-tied Will Langford. He has impressed in recent weeks but is ineligible because he played for Boston United in this season’s Lincs Senior Cup.
