The improving Boston Town were the team to claim the record in a United Counties Premier Division fixture. It finished 3-2 to the home side with Josh Ford and a Danny Setchell penalty responsible for the Fenmen goals.

Deeping Rangers overtook Wisbech and Holbeach into fourth place on goal difference last night after a fine 3-1 win at Eynesbury. It was a good bounce back from Michael Goode’s men who had suffered a shock defeat at Rothwell Corinthians at the weekend.

Scott Coupland, Dan Schiavi and an Eynesbury own goal secured the three points. Schiavi struck with a typically brilliant free kick to give Deeping a boost ahead of their FA Vase tie this Saturday (December 2).

Holbeach booked a mouthwatering date with Yaxley in the UCL Cup semi-finals after a 3-0 quarter final cruise at First Division Harrowby last night. The hosts had a man sent off early on before Lewis Leckie, Spencer Tinkler and Dan Dougall scored the Tigers’ goals.

Blackstones predictably bowed out, but put on a decent show at Premier Division title chasers Leicester Nirvana. Jones De Sousa scored both Stones goals in a 5-2 defeat.
