For the 4th year in a row, Boston Town started their FA Cup campaign with a draw.
In the last 3 seasons they’ve lost the replay – but will be hoping to make it through this time against Northampton Sileby Rangers.
With Travis Portas unavailable, Jack Sellars made his debut in goal – and the Poachers were grateful to him for making some smart saves in the first half.
But Sileby broke the deadlock just before the break by converting a penalty to give them a deserved 1-0 lead.
Martyn Bunce’s side came back into it after the interval and Layton Maddison slotted home an equaliser after Jordan Nuttell nodded down a Dan Worthington cross.
The Poachers will now entertain Sileby in a replay on Tuesday (6 August) at the Mortgages For You Stadium, kick-off 7.45pm.
The winners will receive £1,125 in prize money and visit Long Eaton United in the Preliminary Round on Saturday 17 August.
Town: Sellars, Worthington, Millar, Tate, Ford, Wilson, Maddison, Adams, Nuttell (Bad), Dakin (Burdass); unused subs: H Bunce, Borbely
