Boston Town are second best against title favourites

The Whites were in control throughout and moved to the top of the United Counties League Premier North table with this win.

Jaime Ture gave the home side a 6th minute lead after smashing home from the edge of the box after a corner.

Gregg Smith had a couple of half chances to equalise, but Travis Portas was much the busier of the two keepers - and it was no surprise when Lincoln doubled their lead after 23 minutes through Jack McMenemy.

Liam Adams had the Poachers' best opportunity of the first half, but his effort from distance was dealt with by home keeper Nathan Popple.

Tris Drummond killed off the game as a contest when he made it 3-0 after 53 minutes.

The visitors were more effective in the last half an hour after Martyn Bunce brought Lucas Dakin on for Jordan Nuttell and Pat Bad for Gregg Smith.
