Two-One Verdict
Denaby Pipped at Boston

Boston Utd. 2, Denaby Utd. 1

Denaby lost by the odd goal at Boston on Saturday, NOTLEY gave the Bostonians the lead in the first half, and it was not until he had put on a second goal that WRIGHT scored for Denaby.

Both goals had narrow escapes. Tunstall, Harman and Wright were prominent for Boston, Wright being responsible for breaking up many Denaby attacks.

Boston included Houghton, a Notts County player in their forward line.

Denaby receive Scunthorpe on Saturday, kick-off 2.30.
