Cup win for youngsters

Connor Smith - scored the first goal
The lads had travelled to Lincolnshire on the Friday for the 2nd round tie in the Youth Alliance Cup and they responded with a 2-1 win against the youngsters from the League Two side.

Probably the only surprise was Marc Pugh not scoring, the first goal came from local boy Connor Smith and Kyle Lafferty, back form international duty with Northern Ireland, added the second to see the Clarets through to the next round.

We were 2-0 up at half time but had a scare in the second half as Boston came back at us. They pulled one goal back and we breathed a sigh of relief when what looked an equaliser was disallowed for offside.

The midfield conceded too much ground as we sat back and we could so easily have thrown it away.

Lafferty and Pugh had outstanding games, as did Cayne Hanley who was playing for the first time this season following a serious back injury.

The draw for that will take place this coming week and the ties will be played on Saturday 19th November.

Well done to the lads on winning through to the next round and also for their run of ten successive victories.
