Kettering Town 2-3 Boston United
Jordan Burrow scored a second half winner as Boston United produced a stirring comeback to see off Kettering Town on Saturday afternoon.
The Pilgrims found themselves 2-0 down inside seven minutes through Connor Kennedy and Jordon Crawford but the visitors were back on level terms by the 23rd minute courtesy of Paul Green and Joe Leesley.
Burrow subsequently powered home a 68th minute header from a Leesley corner as the Pilgrims chalked up a third away win of the National League North campaign.
With Loick Ayina having returned to Huddersfield Town and Scott Duxbury ruled out through suspension, United showed two changes to the side that had beaten Brackley Town seven days previously.
The Pilgrims made the worst possible start when Alex Brown swung a free-kick into the box on his left foot and KENNEDY got above Tom Platt to angle a header back across Marcus Dewhurst and into the back of the net.
The Poppies doubled their advantage five minutes later with CRAWFORD wriggling through to roll an effort past Dewhurst and into the far corner.
Dewhurst was required to make a big save with his legs to deny FC Halifax Town loanee Gerry McDonagh from scoring Town's third - and United's comeback started almost immediately.
Leesley clipped Danny Elliott free down the left flank and his cutback was neatly steered home by GREEN - who turned provider six minutes to tee up LEESLEY to arrow home a low effort for the equaliser from 25 yards.
United's winner arrived at the mid-point of the second half when BURROW powerfully headed home Leesley's probing corner.
