Boston Town cruised into the semi-finals of the Lincolnshire Senior Trophy on a bitterly cold night. Blackstones joined the list of teams who must be glad to have seen the back of the Poachers this season. Harrowby’s 6-0 defeat last week came after a 5-0 reverse a month earlier – and now Blackstones also foundContinue reading “Blackstones 0, Poachers 4”

Poachers 6, Harrowby 0
We’re rapidly running out of superlatives for Matt Cotton. He continued his remarkable scoring run by helping himself to a first-half hat-trick inside 11 minutes. After an even first half hour, Cotton pounced twice in the space of two minutes to settle any nerves the Poachers might have had after their uncertain form of late.Continue reading “Poachers 6, Harrowby 0”
20 goals for Cotts
Matt Cotton has become the fastest Boston Town player for 19 years to reach 20 goals in a season. He hit the landmark with his bullet header at Belper United on Saturday. The only Poacher this century to have got to the milestone at an earlier date was Gary Bull in 2006-07. Bull’s 20th goalContinue reading “20 goals for Cotts”
Belper Utd 2, Poachers 2
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. Matt Cotton kept upContinue reading “Belper Utd 2, Poachers 2”
Club shop is ready to open
Boston Town’s new club shop is opening just in time for Christmas. It’s the brainchild of Paul Miles, who also runs the new Boston Town Supporters’ Group. The shop will open for the first time on Tuesday (11 November) when the Poachers play Harrowby United at the Mortgages For You Stadium. Kick-off is 7.45pm. PaulContinue reading “Club shop is ready to open”
Moulton 3, Poachers 3
Boston Town bowed out of the United Counties League KO Cup in a penalty shoot-out. After a goalless first half, the floodgates opened in a topsy-turvy second 45 minutes. Matt Cotton scored a hat-trick as the Poachers led twice and trailed once before the final whistle blew with scores level at 3-3. Chris Funnell’s sideContinue reading “Moulton 3, Poachers 3”
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. Oddly, Poachers fans might remember them as being whipping boys in the three seasons when our paths crossed from 1991 to 1994. Brackley finished rock bottom of theContinue reading “All eyes on FA Cup minnows”
Gresley 2, Poachers 0
Boston Town’s feared forward line fired blanks for a second successive game. The Poachers are the top goalscorers in the United Counties League Premier North this season, but they were again blunted as they slipped to a painful defeat. James Leverton came in for the injured Travis Portas and there was a welcome start forContinue reading “Gresley 2, Poachers 0”
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 Poachers have only ever managed three goals against their Lincolnshire rivals in all those games dating back 60 years. Their latest defeat came in a tense and tetchy derby against a streetwise GranthamContinue reading “Poachers 0, Grantham 1”
Landmark for Portas
Travis Portas was presented with a framed shirt after becoming only the 2nd goalkeeper in the club’s history to pass 250 appearances. The only keeper ahead of him is John McPherson, who played 302 times for Boston FC from 1976 to 1984. Portas, who made his debut for the Poachers in October 2018, is oneContinue reading “Landmark for Portas”
