Boston Town battle back for another precious league point
Poachers twice battle back from behind to draw
Boston Town twice came from behind to draw 2-2 with Coleshill and make it seven points from their last three Northern Premier League Midlands Division games on Saturday.
Having overturned a 2-0 deficit to beat Barwell in midweek, they again showed their resilience by twice clawing their way back into the game at the Mortgages For You Stadium.
After a goalless first half, the match roared into life with three goals in the space of four minutes at the start of the second period.
The visitors took the lead after 49 minutes when Charlie Manners scored from a well-worked free-kick.
Harry Limb levelled two minutes later from the penalty spot after Will Van Lier was brought down, but the Colemen went straight back in front when Manners pounced on a misplaced pass at the back.
However, Chris Funnell’s side equalised again after 67 minutes through Zak Munton.
He made a great run on the break, cut inside and fired into the top corner from the edge of the box.
The Poachers have now suffered only one defeat in their last six league games and sit in sixth place.
After a scheduled midweek game at winless Long Eaton United, on Saturday, the Poachers are at home to second-placed Rugby Borough. Kick-off at the Mortgages For You Stadium will be 3pm.
POACHERS: West, Bayliss, Smith (Ging), Gibbons, Tate, Hudson (L Wilson), Munton (Siddons), Van Lier, Zaluzinskis (Burdass), Limb, Cotton. SUB NOT USED: Gagyi.
