Zak strikes as Boston Town win latest warm-up against bogey side
Poachers enjoy first win over United since 1990
A first half goal by Zak Munton was enough to Boston Town a satisfying victory over Step 4 rivals Lincoln United in their latest pre-season game.
Although it was only a friendly, it was still a notable result against a bogey team as the Poachers had not beaten the Whites in a competitive fixture since 1990.
Manager Chris Funnell praised his side's intensity to close down the opposition and work hard when they didn't have the ball.
"I thought out of possession we were absolutely outstanding," he told James Lovelace in his post-match interview.
On Saturday Boston Town will play Lincoln United again in another friendly, this time at the Mortgages For You Stadium.
The Whites have stepped in at the last minute to replace Grimsby Borough as opponents. Kick-off will be 3pm.
Funnell's team begin their season in earnest on Saturday, 8th August when they travel to Daventry Town in the FA Cup with a 3pm kick-off.
