Zak Munton scored his first goal since August as Boston Town earned a point at in-form Belper United. The 2-2 draw was enough to keep the Poachers in second place in the United Counties League Premier North. But they’ll feel frustrated not to have won after leading 2-0 at the break.

All eyes on FA Cup minnows
Former United Counties League side Brackley Town will be in the spotlight this weekend when their FA Cup tie against Notts County is shown live on TV.

Poachers 0, Grantham 1
And so the hoodoo goes on. Boston Town have still yet to register a single win against Grantham in 16 attempts.

The day Dyche faced the Poachers
Sean Dyche might never have made a competitive first team appearance for Nottingham Forest – but he certainly wore their red shirt in friendlies. And one of them was at Tattershall Road 37 years ago. Dyche, who has just been appointed Forest manager, was a raw 17-year-old when he turned out for a youthful ForestContinue reading “The day Dyche faced the Poachers”
