The B-Ark / Reserves Tomorrow

« on: September 03, 2010, 09:15:54 PM »

Why not come along to The Jakemans Stadium and watch the Reserves v Lincon United Reserves?
The Jakemans Stadium encounter — kick-off 3.00pm — will afford United the opportunity to record a third successive victory, following last weekend’s 5-0 success over Ruston Sports, and another 5-0 win the weekend before against Heckington United.

Around 70 people attended last weeks game, let's see if we can get a few more down to support the young lads! ....the Reserves are a self funded team and the more support through the gates help the club's finances. We appreciate your support ....and the Pilgrim Lounge is open before and after the game as well!

Big striker Micky Stones will be hoping for a starting place after two cameo roles as sub each time has ended with him scoring two goals each time! Tricky winger Liam Ogden is back in contention following a bout of flu which saw him miss last weeks game. Unfortunately Jason Field misses out through an injury incurred while playing for the youth team.

The Fantasy Island Stand is open for supporters, with admission prices set at £2 for adults and £1 for concessions.

United (from): Drury, Hewitt, Bishop, Butler, Cook, Nichols, Ogden, Owen, Price, Sergeant, Stones, Tate, Ward, Wilson, N. Rawdon, J. Rawdon, A. Shinn, S. Lovett, S. Dawson.

The B-Ark / The Reserves

« on: July 23, 2010, 10:15:07 AM »

I went to watch the reserves last night at Holbeach and was really impressed, especially with one young lad called Harry Deane, he played out on the right wing in the first half and was superb. Certainly one to look out for, but he wasn't the only one, each and everyone put on a terrific performance. Well done lads!

From the Official Site:
Boston United Reserves produced an excellent performance to thrash Holbeach United 4-0 at Carters Park on Thursday evening.

The excellent Harry Deane fired Boston into an early lead and an own goal doubled the tally before half-time.

Substitute Andrew Shinn added a well-executed third eight minutes after the break, before Shane Clancy capped the win with a brilliant fourth in stoppage time, following excellent work down the right from Tom Sergeant.

Andy Hewitt also saved a penalty with the score at 3-0.

The Pilgrims’ second string return to action next Thursday and Friday with trips to Horncastle and King’s Lynn Town Reserves respectively.

Boston (4-4-2): Ricky Drury (Andy Hewitt 46); Luke Wilson (Nathan Rawdon 46), Jack Carter (Nick Bishop 46), Simon Ashton, Jason Field (Tom Sergeant 68); Harry Deane, John Rawdon (Nathan Cook 46), Ross Nichols (Grant Butler 46), Shane Clancy; Mickey Stones (Carl Tate 46), Pedro Silva (Andrew Shinn 46).
