Like London buses, you wait years for a trophy – then two come along one after another!
Seven days after clinching a historic first league title in 25 years, Boston Town found themselves lifting more silverware.
This time it was the United Counties League Premier Champions Cup, a showpiece game between the winners of the league’s north and south divisions.
Nuneaton Town had home advantage by virtue of their better record this season, so the Poachers had to make the long trip to Bedworth.
But any fears that this might be a case of “after the lord mayor’s show” were dispelled when Matt Cotton’s header put the visitors 1-0 up 19 minutes.
Fraser Bayliss doubled that lead after 75 minutes and Boston Town’s skipper Richard Ford was able to exercise his trophy-lifting muscles for the second weekend in a row.
What a sensational finish to the season for Chris Funnell’s men – 10 successive wins and eight clean sheets!
Town: Portas, Gibbons, Hudson (Burdass), Archer, Ford, Wilson, Bayliss, Priestley, Munton (Tate), Limb (Maddison), Cotton: unused sub: Pipes-Goulsbra
