The Pilgrims found themselves one goal down at the break, but Nuttell's second half brace sandwiched a strike from James Tricks as United completed their first league double of the campaign.

It was an excellent result for Steve Welsh and Micky Nuttell, who were able to name only 12 players due to a combination of injuries, suspensions and exam commitments.

Boston (4-4-2): Marc Hipwell; Niall Delahoy (Scott Langan 62), Jordan Lote, Todd Devlin, Charlie Rossington; Jake Platten, Jake Beauchamp, Lewis Sturman, Tom James; Jordan Nuttell, James Tricks.
