🔥 Ones to watch
🔵 Boston Town:

⚽ Harry Limb – The league’s most in-form striker! With 32 goals this season, his performances have caught the attention of clubs from higher divisions. A massive threat up top!

⚡ Lukas Dakin – Played with freedom in the last match against Newark & Sherwood, creating plenty of chances. He’ll be eager to get on the scoresheet soon!
đź”´ Melton Town:

🎯 Kairo Edwards-John – We highlighted him last time, and for good reason! He scored against Boston from the penalty spot and was on target again at the weekend, netting after just six minutes against the league leaders. A player to watch closely.
🗣 Manager’s thoughts – Chris Funnell
“Saturday was the start of what we expect to be a really tough run. The boys came through it with flying colours.
“We weren’t at our most potent in attack but ultimately we had the better chances throughout the game and were comfortable and robust defensively. I thought everyone worked so hard defensively, led superbly by our skipper and vice-skipper.
“The pitch this Saturday will be completely different and apart from our game, Melton have been on a good run of form so it poses yet another difficult test.”
📢 Final thoughts
Another big challenge awaits Boston Town as they hit the road. Can the Poachers extend their unbeaten streak and secure another crucial three points? Get behind the lads this Saturday!
