Boston United’s squad and staff have tested negative for COVID-19, meaning they have all been given the green light to feature in today’s play-off semi-final.

Anyone who tested positive following Thursday’s screening would have been forced to self isolate for seven days and be ruled out of today’s action.

Since testing began with the return to training, not one member of the Pilgrims camp has tested positive.

"We're doing everything we can to keep people safe. I have to say the management team and the players have been brilliant,” said United chairman David Newton.

"They've done everything asked of them so we're giving ourselves the best chance."
