Boston United 4-1 Kidderminster Harriers

Craig Singleton18 Dec 2021 - 17:00

Boston United swept aside Kidderminster Harriers at the Jakemans Community Stadium to reach the fourth round of the Buildbase FA Trophy.

Jake Wright Jnr opened the scoring in the 12th minute before Danny Elliott - on for the injured Jordan Burrow - bagged a brace in the 29th and 59th minutes.

Jaiden White replied for the visitors, but Jordan Preston added a fourth in the 80th minute to seal United's safe progress.

United's starting XI was unchanged to the previous week's against Harriers - except for Preston replacing the injured Paul Green.

The Pilgrims took the lead when Joe Leesley delivered a pinpoint corner and WRIGHT JNR glanced home his fifth successive home goal for United.

United lost the services of Burrow to a calf injury shortly afterward - but replacement ELLIOTT drove the Pilgrims into a 2-0 lead with a left-footed finish on the end of Keenan Ferguson's assist from the right.

The Pilgrims effectively sealed their progress 14 minutes after half-time when ELLIOTT got on the end of Matt Tootle's clearance to outmanoeuvre Keith Lowe and run on to round Luke Simpson and angle home a low finish into an unguarded net.

Kidderminster rallied and substitute WHITE reduced the arrears after Alex Penny had hit the post following Ashley Hemmings' corner.

Harriers wanted a penalty for a possible foul on Ethan Freemantle but United survived without any further scares - with PRESTON adding the icing to the cake with a driven finish from 12 yards after Lowe had only been able to partially block Ferguson's low cross.
