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”

Match postponed
Today’s game against Pinchbeck United has unfortunately been called off following a pitch inspection. The ground was deemed to be unfit following heavy rain. Next game for the Poachers is away at Deeping on Saturday 15 January.
Pinchbeck preview
The Poachers will be eager to register their first win of 2022 when they entertain Pinchbeck United at the weekend. Harry Limb will be looking to add to his tally after becoming the first Boston Town player to hit 20 goals in a season since 2015-16. Boston Town have never previously lost to the KnightsContinue reading “Pinchbeck preview”
Poachers 1, Skegness 1
These two old rivals shared the points in a tight encounter that was high on endeavour but low on clear-cut chances. Harry Limb converted a 28th minute penalty after Luke White was hauled down. But the visitors equalised just before the break with pretty much their first effort on target. Skegness had the upper handContinue reading “Poachers 1, Skegness 1”
Flashback: October 1979
In the final part of our series looking back at memorable Boston v Skegness encounters, we recall a magical FA Cup night. The two clubs were drawn together in the 3rd Qualifying Round of famous old competition in October 1978 – and served up a three-part classic. Those were the days when cup ties weren’tContinue reading “Flashback: October 1979”
RIP George Crawford

An outstanding goalkeeper, he was almost ever-present for Boston FC in our first two seasons in the Midland League from 1968 to 1970. Donations in memory of George can be made to St Peter &Continue reading “RIP George Crawford”
