Boston Town return to action this Saturday for their final game in a run of five consecutive home fixtures, looking to solidify their place in the playoff positions for the first time since September. Sitting in fourth, the Poachers are in a strong position and eager to continue their momentum.
Wisbech Town, meanwhile, have struggled for consistency. A long 23-day break between Boxing Day and their first match of the new year disrupted their rhythm, and they now find themselves in 16th place, having played more games than any other team in the division. However, they will be eager to pick up points and climb the table.
🔍 The Opposition: Wisbech Town
Wisbech Town have had a mixed run of form in recent weeks, managing just one win in their last five outings. They secured a hard-fought victory over Skegness Town but have struggled against teams in the top half of the table. With a leaky defense and an inconsistent attack, they will need to step up their game to challenge an in-form Boston Town side.

Boston Town have had the upper hand in recent meetings, winning four of the last five encounters. Can they extend their dominance and pick up another crucial three points?
🔥 Ones to Watch
Boston Town:
- Ted Gibbons – The exciting winger has wasted no time in making an impact, providing two assists on his debut before scoring twice in his second game. He’ll be looking to continue his fine form this weekend.
- Jordan Nuttell – The powerful striker has been a real handful for defenders in recent weeks. After struggling with confidence earlier in the season, he has found his rhythm and been a constant threat in front of goal. His well-taken strike against Melton last weekend showcased his ability, and he’ll be eager to add to his tally.
Wisbech Town:
- Elliot Foster – The Fenmen’s top goal scorer with six goals in 22 appearances. It’s not the most prolific tally, but he remains a potential threat on the day.
- Oliver Williams – A key figure in Wisbech’s midfield with 31 appearances this season. A manager’s favorite, his presence in the center of the park will be crucial for the visitors.
🗣 Manager’s notes:
“I’m delighted with the run of results we’ve had of late and, additionally, the performances to match. The lads have shown different aspects to their game and they’re getting their just rewards.
However, we spoke at training, getting into playoff positions in February, it means nothing. We’ve got to keep the same hunger and desire to stay in there, as we did to chase that pack down.
We’ve got our targets and match blocks that we’re working through. Every game in this league is difficult and we’re expecting the same on Saturday. Wisbech had a great result against Newark and Skegness more recently; with it being a local derby it’ll also have a bit more of an edge. We need do our jobs properly, with the aim of getting 3 points come 5pm on Saturday.”
📢 Final Thoughts:
With Boston Town flying high and Wisbech Town battling to find consistency, this promises to be another intriguing clash at the Mortgages For You Stadium. Can the Poachers continue their impressive run and strengthen their playoff ambitions?
We encourage all supporters to get behind the team and create a fantastic atmosphere this Saturday
