Boston XV 3 Spalding XV 29
By John Fletcher
Boston took a squad of first and development team players to play Spalding in their first pre season match of the season. For Coach Ash Coates if was a great opportunity to see a number of new players perform in match conditions.
Playing four 20 minute quarters Coach Coates was able to try out players in a variety of different positions and combinations.
The front row of Antony Buckberry, Will Scupham and James Griffin, impressed in the scrum and line out. In the second row, the returning Mathew Deane had a good game along with debutant number eight Sam Lempard in tight and loose play.
In the backs debutant Rowan Mason at flyhalf, showed great control in difficult windy conditions, along with the returning winger Perry Cumber, who made a number of strong runs and tackles.
For Boston, Tom Hobbs recorded via a penalty their first points of the new season.
On Saturday, Boston play their second pre season friendly against Market Rasen at 3.00pm. In the morning Boston ladies play a friendly against Mellish Ladies, kick off 11.00am, in their second pre season match. All support welcome on what will be Boston’s first family fun day of the new season. Along with the rugby will be a BBQ, surfboard simulator, tug of war, slip and slide, limbo competition and disc
