Teacup Gate

Club legend Dave “Toby” Scotney has asked us to put the record straight on one of the anecdotes included in our new book To Be A Poacher. On page 22, we recall a dressing room incident when a tea cup was thrown in frustration following an away defeat. Toby points out that a key partContinue reading “Teacup Gate”

Anstey 3, Poachers 0

Boston Town’s hopes of closing the gap on the top three were dashed by in-form Anstey. The visitors trailed 1-0 at the interval against a Nomads fresh from their FA Vase heroics the previous weekend. But a disastrous start to the second half saw them concede two more quick goals and have Duran Reynolds sentContinue reading “Anstey 3, Poachers 0”

Poachers 2, Newark 1

Two first half goals were enough to earn Boston Town a first win of 2022.

Deeping 3, Poachers 2

Boston Town’s poor recent record at the Haydon Whitham Stadium continued as they were sunk by a later Will Bird goal. It’s now 6 years since they last beat Deeping away – when a Jordan Nuttell hat-trick earned a 3-1 success in April 2016. Gary Edgley’s side had a terrible first 10 minutes that sawContinue reading “Deeping 3, Poachers 2”

Aiming for a double

The Poachers have their sights set on completing a league double over Deeping Rangers for the first time in 11 years. Gary Edgley’s side beat their Lincs rivals 4-2 at home in August, with Harry Limb, Lee Beeson and Luke White among the goals. That ended an 11-match winless run against Deeping which stretched backContinue reading “Aiming for a double”

Poachers make double capture

Boston Town have added two more quality signings to their squad. Gary Edgley has persuaded thoroughbred defender Duran Reynolds to move back to Boston Town from rivals Skegness. And talented young midfielder Mackenzie Burdass is making the switch from Holbeach. Reynolds, 30, previously made 22 appearances for the Poachers between 2017 and 2019 and hasContinue reading “Poachers make double capture”
