Poachers happy to add Pharrell

Boston Town have brought more firepower to their squad with the addition of young striker Pharrell Waite. The powerful 6ft 3in forward has been banging in the goals for Chesterfield Under 19s in the National League Under 19 Alliance. Gary Edgley expects the 18-year-old to add an exciting new dimension to his Poachers side. Waite,Continue reading “Poachers happy to add Pharrell”

Poachers 0, Heanor 4

The Poachers slumped to back-to-back defeats for the first time this season. A horrendous afternoon began badly as the visitors converted a penalty after just 4 minutes. Debutant Liam Adams came close to equalising when he hit the crossbar – but Heanor dealt another blow to go 2-0 up just before the break. If PoachersContinue reading “Poachers 0, Heanor 4”

Welcome to Liam

Attacking midfielder Liam Adams is joining Boston Town. The talented 23-year-old wide man arrives from Spalding United, where he’s been playing in the Northern Premier League this season.

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. First, Harry Limb powered home a header from a Lee Beeson cross and then Luke White looped home a second after a Jordan Tate effort came back off the bar. Poachers boss Gary Edgley had to re-shuffle his pack whenContinue reading “Poachers 2, Newark 1”

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”
