2023-24 review – part 3
Well done to Luke Wilson on playing in every single game this season. Our very own Mr Reliable started 45 out of 46 matches and came on as sub in the other. Willo was the only ever-present in 2023-24 – but a few others came close. Liam Adams and Travis Ports missed just one gameContinue reading “2023-24 review – part 3”
2023-24 review – part 2
Defeat for Eastwood CFC in their last fixture of season confirmed Boston Town’s final league position as 7th. The Red Badgers lost 3-1 to Heanor Town on Saturday to leave themselves in 8th. The Poachers ended up one place lower than last season’s 6th – but it’s still only the second time they’ve finished inContinue reading “2023-24 review – part 2”
2023-24 review – part 1
Well done to Jordan Nuttell on ending the season as our leading goalscorer with 12 goals. Not bad going considering he’s been injured for big chunks of the season. Liam Adams was close behind with 11, while Fraser Bayliss and Lucas Dakin managed 9 each. Curiously, Nutts is now the 8th different player to beContinue reading “2023-24 review – part 1”
Poachers U14s 3, Ruston U14s 2
Boston Town U14s secured a 3-2 win in a thriller under the lights at the Mortgages For You Stadium. The Poachers dominated the early stages but chances were few and far between.

Farewell to Lee
Lee Beeson was given a fitting send-off as he played his final game before retiring. The Boston Town captain was given a guard of honour by both sets of players ahead of the match against Ashby Ivanhoe. He then received a rousing ovation as he was replaced after 84 minutes by Pat Bad. Lee finishedContinue reading “Farewell to Lee”
Poachers 3, Ashby Ivanhoe 1
Boston Town enjoyed a rousing finale to their season in the spring sunshine. Lee Beeson was in the thick of the action on an emotional last appearance before retiring. It was Joe Smith who nodded the Poachers ahead on 11 minutes after a Luke Wilson throw had caused panic in the Ashby Ivanhoe penalty area.Continue reading “Poachers 3, Ashby Ivanhoe 1”
