BOSTON SATURDAY LEAGUE: Round-up

BB Insure Willoughby Cup, round two

There was no upset at Park United where Swineshead were the visitors and, although the home side from Division Two gave a spirited performance, there was no denying the Premier side who ran out 6-0 winners.

Two own goals helped Swineshead on their way with Richard Barker also netting a brace of goals.

Bert Snaith and Kieran Rose completed the scoring.

The big tie of the day took place at Wyberton Reserves where the title-chasers entertained close rivals Spilsby Town, and it was the visitors who earned the bragging rights following an impressive 3-0 away win.

Dan Cobb, Liam Papworth and Adam Dales struck the crucial goals.

Old Leake centre back Ash Jackson was again on the scoresheet for his side when he headed in the opener just before the interval against Fishtoft.

In an evenly contested first half, the deadlock was finally broken when Adam Tempest sent over a corner and there was Jackson at the far post to nod home.

Another header from another Tempest corner made it 2-0 in the second half with Will Gosling finding the net on this occasion before Fishtoft pulled a goal back when Neil Allen got on the end of a free-kick.

Old Leake continued the heading theme soon afterwards when substitute Curtis Revell made it 3-1 with a header from a free-kick.

Fishtoft were not quite finished and they reduced the arrears to 3-2 before Revell had the final say with Old Leake’s fourth.

Woodhall Spa United caused a bit of an upset when the Divison One side, languishing in the bottom half of the table, put Premier strugglers Kirton Town out of the competition.

Town could have opened the scoring after 10 minutes but the crossbar came to Woodhall’s rescue.

Jack Draper returned to the home line-up and he fired home a superbly struck opener from 18 yards out.

Andy Money hit Woodhall’s second goal when his shot from the edge of the box squirmed its way into the net.

Kirton did pull a goal back and Woodhall had to be at their most stubborn in defence during the final 10 minutes as they found themselves on the back foot but they held out for a fine home win.

Coningsby hit Pointon for six at home with striker, Shaun Boothby hitting four of the goals.

Andrew Chapman and an own goal completed the scoring for the home side.

Pointon replied through Ian Jacquest and Ollie Cooper.

Taylors Garages Premier Division

There was only one top flight game, where a resurgent Ruskington Rovers continued their move away from the relegation zone with an impressive 6-2 home win against Heckington Millers.

Mitchell Gorman and Sam Jackson both struck two goals apiece, while Ashley Farmer and new signing Ronaldo Pereira also got on the scoresheet.

The Millers had found themselves 5-1 down at half time and although they improved greatly in the second half the game was, by then, well out of reach.

The Heckington goals came from Sean Jenkinson and Liam Tunstall.

Taylors Peugeot Division One

The two games in Division Two involved two of the favourites for promotion, with Boston College and Leverton taking massive steps forward with huge victories.

Boston College hit lowly Sutterton for 10 with Jamie Dawson hitting four of his side’s goals.

Dawson couldn’t quite match the previous week’s lightning start when he scored what arguably was one of the fastest goals in league history at Woodhall Spa.

That three-second strike from the kick-off was never going to be repeated last Saturday but their was no arguing that he was going to get on the scoresheet once again.

Nathan Rivett grabbed a hat-trick whileTom Taylor helped himself to two goals in the big home win.

Reece Young hit the other College goal.
