Poachers 2, Coleshill 2

Boston Town twice came from behind to make it seven points from their last three games.

Having overturned a 2-0 deficit to beat Barwell in midweek, they again showed their resilience by twice clawing their way back into the game against Coleshill.

After a goalless first half, the match roared into life with three goals in the space of four minutes at the start of the second period.

The visitors took the lead after 49 minutes when Charlie Manners scored from a well-worked free-kick.

Harry Limb levelled two minutes later from the penalty spot after Will Van Lier was brought down, but the Colemen went straight back in front when Manners pounced on a misplaced pass at the back.

Chris Funnell’s side equalised again after 67 minutes through Zak Munton. He made a great run on the break, cut inside and fired into the top corner from the edge of the box.

The Poachers have now suffered only one defeat in their last six games in the Pitching In Northern Premier League Midlands and sit in sixth place.

On Tuesday (29 September), they travel to Long Eaton United, who haven’t won in the league yet this season and are bottom of the table. Kick-off will be 7.45pm.

On Saturday (3 October), the Poachers are at home to second-placed Rugby Borough. Kick-off at the Mortgages For You Stadium will be 3pm.

Boston Town: West, Bayliss, Smith (Ging), Gibbons, Tate, Hudson (L Wilson), Munton (Siddons), Van Lier, Zaluzinskis (Burdass), Limb, Cotton; unused sub: Gagyi
