The last time Boston played at Farsley Celtic was in a NPL President's Cup game in February 1997. I was there - in a "crowd" of 81. Boston lost 2-1. :( This season newly promoted Farsley have got off to a good start and currently sit in 6th place with 4 more points than Boston. My Computer (http://www.bufc.drfox.org.uk/next.html) is predicting a Draw. I'm going for:
Farsley Celtic 0-2 Boston United (481)
Just found my match report from 1997 on my website:
Farsley Celtic 2-1 Pilgrims
President's Cup
Another cold, wet match in Yorkshire and another 2-1 loss, but on this occasion the game went into extra time before any goals were scored. New signing Jonathan Scargill was ineligible for this President's Cup Second Round replay at the Throstle Nest, so Martyn Bunce took over in goal. Carl Smaller was preferred to Simon Armstrong in the wing back position and Andrew Stanhope got the No. 10 shirt ahead of Steve Williams. There was not much action in the first half, Leroy Chambers and Phil Brown battled away up front with Stanhope playing further back. About the only moves of note were on the half hour when Carl Smaller shot straight at the Farsley keeper and ten minutes before half time when Steve Chambers shot over the top from the edge of the area following a corner. Ten minutes into the second half and Farsley thought they had won a penalty when their No. 8 was fouled running into the area. The referee blew for the penalty but then noticed the assistant referee was signalling him, and after consultation changed the decision to a Farsley free kick just outside the area. The shot from the free kick was well struck but went just to the right of the goal. Ten minutes later Leroy Chambers had a header saved following a nice bit of skill when Steve Chambers released Phil Brown on the right of the penalty area to get a good cross in. United then brought on Simon Armstrong in place of Carl Smaller who was soon combining well with Mason. A neat one-two released Mason whose shot was saved. With five minutes to go United made another substitution, bringing on Steve Williams to replace Leroy Chambers. At ninety minutes the game was still goalless so the game went into extra time. Straight away Boston nearly went into the lead when a Steve Chambers shot from outside the area passed just over the bar. Four minutes later Phil BROWN put us into the lead. Mason broke down the right and got in a cross which found its way through to Brown who calmly shot past the Farsley keeper. Armstrong could have finished the game off five minutes later when he was put in the clear with only the keeper to beat but his tame shot was pushed past the post. The second period of extra time started with another good chance. Stanhope was brought down just outside the area and Withe's free kick had to be tipped over the bar by the keeper. Mason was booked after tripping the Farsley No. 11 as he went on a surging run through the centre. Eight minutes from the end Farsley equalised with a curling shot from LEAROYD from a tight angle on the left of the area that went in off the far post. Three minutes later Farsley scored a spectacular winner. Their No. 11 CARRINGTON noticed that Bunce was slightly off his line and lobbed the ball over him from about twenty yards outside the penalty area. Cook came on for Melson for the last few minutes and was unlucky not to equalise with a shot across the goalmouth.
United team: 1. Martyn Bunce, 2. Carl Smaller, 3. Chris Withe, 4. Greg Fee, 5. Mark Melson, 6. Steve Chambers, 7. Leroy Chambers, 8. Steve Appleby, 9. Phil Brown, 10. Andrew Stanhope, 11. Richard Mason, 12. Simon Armstrong, 14. Steve Williams, 15. Chris Cook.

Here are the updated points after:
Farsley Celtic 2-4 Boston United (742)
Only nikko, Champs next year and ceamboy got the correct score and nobody got any attendance prediction points as the attendance was a bit higher than everyone expected - no doubt boosted by the lack of alternative games on in the Leeds area as most were cancelled due to the weekend's internationals.
