Boston Town moved to the top of the table as they extended their unbeaten league run to 7 games.
After the avalanche of goals in their previous 2 matches, this was something of a damp squib.
The encounter rarely hit the heights you’d expect from a local derby, but the Poachers players put in a real shift to earn their point.
Manager Chris Funnell brought in stand-in keeper Phil McGann for his debut to replace the missing Travis Portas, while Harry Limb and Luke Wilson, who’ve both had length injury lay-offs, were on the bench.
After an uneventful first half, Matt Cotton continued his sensational run of form by sliding home after 59 minutes to give the visitors the lead.
But Rangers hit back with a quarter of an hour to go to make sure they shared the spoils.
It was Boston Town’s first dropped points since they were beaten by Wisbech in July. But the draw was enough to see them leapfrog above Kimberley MW and Newark Town on goal difference.
On Saturday (27 September), they’re at home to Melton Town. Kick-off at the Mortgages For You Stadium will be 3pm and the match day sponsor will be Pete Moon.
Town: McGann, Worthington, Smith, Tate, Ford, Hudson, Bayliss, Priestley (Zaluzinskis), Gibbons (Graves), Gurney (Nuttell), Cotton; unused subs: Limb, Wilson
