Match report by Rupert King
Last day of the season.
1st vs 2nd.
The Poachers away to Ruston for the title.
Bathed in sunshine on a superb pitch, our U14s took their final test of the league season this morning.
Ruston came flying out of the blocks and had Town under pressure early on, but failed to create a chance of note.
The Poachers grew into the contest and began to get the upper hand in midfield. Their efforts were rewarded half way through the first period with a great strike from Fletcher Don-Duncan that sailed over the keeper’s head.
1-0 Boston and so it stayed until the break.
Into the second half and as the game wore on, you could sense the nerves building.
Goalkeeper Leo Rate made two superb stops to keep the scoreline at 1-0.
But every Ruston attack was batted back by Town’s defensive wall of captain Harry King and Toby Chapman.
Archie Quinn and Blake Crowfoot started to dominate the play through the middle and with five minutes remaining, a sharp attack released the ball to Logan Bray on the left touchline. Still with much to do, Logan drove through the Ruston back line to fire home the second and send the Town bench sprinting along the touchline in celebration.
A smartly-taken injury time goal from Jakub Supierz wrapped up the contest.
From an unlikely position back in the winter, to league Champions come May.
- Undefeated since January
- 9 wins in a row
- 82 goals scored.
Up the Town!
