Eastwood 0, Poachers 1

Abou Sylla headed home the winner as Boston Town continued their fine form away from home. He struck from a corner in the 58th minute to bring home all three points from Eastwood’s artificial pitch. The 1-0 win moved the Poachers up to 4th in the United Counties League Premier North table, with Heather StContinue reading “Eastwood 0, Poachers 1”

Eastwood preview

Boston Town are now unbeaten away from home for more than a year as they head to Eastwood this weekend. Admittedly, they’ve played far fewer games than usual because of the pandemic. But the Poachers will still be keen to extend their record of not having lost yet this season on their travels. Eastwood TownContinue reading “Eastwood preview”

Humberside here we come

When the Humber Bridge was opened in 1981, it was the longest single span suspension bridge in the world. I remember seeing its imposing towers when I travelled in 1978 to Barton Town’s ground nestling in their shadow. It was an FA Cup tie which Boston FC won 3-1, with goals from Martin Johnson, NickContinue reading “Humberside here we come”

Poachers 0, Hanley 1

Whisper it quietly but Boston Town are back. That might sound like a strange thing to say after their eight-match unbeaten run came to an end in the FA Vase against highly-fancied Hanley Town. But the manner of the performance was heartening as the Poachers more than held their own against opponents who boasted anContinue reading “Poachers 0, Hanley 1”

Skegness 2, Poachers 2

The returning Fraser Bayliss salvaged a point as Boston Town stretched their unbeaten run to eight games. Harry Limb gave them the perfect start against their coastal rivals when he netted after just three minutes. Two goals by Jonny Lockie looked to have given the hosts all three points in what was the first encounterContinue reading “Skegness 2, Poachers 2”

100 up for Travis

Congratulations to Travis Portas on achieving the milestone of 100 appearances for Boston Town. Only seven other goalkeepers have previously reached the landmark in the club’s 57-year history. Trav made his debut for the Poachers in October 2018, soon after Gary Edgley took over as manager. Since then he’s been a model of consistency, missingContinue reading “100 up for Travis”
