Eastleigh Win Out East
Boston United 1-2 Eastleigh (National League) It's been a cold frosty start to the new year and as I wake up this first Saturday of 2026 I'm soon checking my phone if today's game between Boston and Eastleigh is on. They've had the covers on overnight at the Jakemans Stadium and the head groundsman is optimistic, pitch in his opinion playable but the Referee will confirm upon his arrival at 12pm. The Eastleigh team have been staying in the area so every chance will be given

Boston United 1-1 Scunthorpe United (National League) I've dropped the dog off at the mother-in-law's and am driving through Nottingham against traffic which is heading to the Forest and Chelsea game. Midday on a cool and cloudy October's Saturday, I'm heading again to Boston, but for a Lincolnshire derby against another side I know a bit about in Scunthorpe. Last season they were a division apart, but they did play each other the season before when Boston in the end gained

Wood Too Good
Boston United 0-2 Boreham Wood (National League) In three of the last ten seasons, Boreham Wood have finished in the playoff places in the National League. In 2018, they lost to Tranmere Rovers in a Wembley final, the nearest they have come to reaching the Football League. In 2020 they were fifth when their season was early curtailed by COVID with just nine games to play, whilst in 2023 they were beaten by Notts County in the playoff semi-finals after a sixth placed finish,

Boston United 0-1 FC Halifax Town (National League) A club I have frequented plenty in recent seasons is Boston United, who opened their National League campaign at the weekend with a 3-2 win at Aldershot. Graham Coughlan has a much changed team from the one that did well to survive relegation during the last campaign, their successful return to level five of the pyramid, they do have injuries to several key players but have acquired smartly in the summer window, and hope to

Shade of Excellence
Boston United 1-2 Eastleigh (National League) Boston United have only once before played against Eastleigh. Earlier this season when optimism was high, the newly promoted Pilgrims led on the road against the ten men Spitfires through a first half Sam Osborne goal, only to concede a 95th minute penalty converted by Chris Maguire which resulted in a 1-1 draw. The Hampshire based outfit are making the 360 mile round trip today along with 40 fans as they bid to push themselves t
