A second half fightback was in vain as Boston United crashed to a 4-2 defeat at Harrogate Town in Blue Square Bet North last night.

Trailing 2-0 to early strikes from Tom Platt and Michael Platt, the Pilgrims looked to be heading for a heavy defeat at the CNG Stadium.

  1. Marc Newsham's 26th goal of the season made it 2-2 against Harrogate Town last night. The home side eventually won 4-2.

However, second half goals from Ben Milnes and Marc Newsham, his 26th of the season, saw Graham Drury's side pull level.

But the visitors' hopes of a morale-boosting victory were punctured when former Gainsborough Trinity striker Dominic Knowles slotted home a penalty in the 68th minute before Liam Elam added a fourth in added time.
