A close finish to Season 20

So the season draws to a close and by the skin of our teeth Boston United end in (joint) third place, just ahead of Fog Squad (on goal difference perhaps?)

A tight 3rd place finish for BUFC..!!!

So it was another good season for Boston and the team performed well! Some of the highlight figures from the statistics, starting with the goal-scorers this season... Mickey excelled himself this season, scoring 4 from midfield! Zj and Whitters also got one each too. Meanwhile it was a season long race for the top spot between the Boston front-men and it a close run thing with just one goal separating our intrepid strikers.

Eventually it ended with JW picking up the top scorer record for the season, managing to net 66 goals against Bimbo's 65..!!! Despite this impressive battle and a grand total of 133 goals between them, the goal of Boston United's season came from an unlikely source..!!! Congratulations to our stalwart defender, Undo who scored a fantastic solo effort, running the length of the pitch before firing home in our 5-0 win against Pro Club XI!

Apt that a defender should score the goal of the season, since once again it was the defence and our pin-up goal-keeper, Gunny that provided such an impressive defensive record again for the season! Their combined efforts and hard work resulted in a total of 24 clean sheets this season!

This defensive record meant that we had a massively positive goal difference of +113, having scored a grand total of 138 goals in 34 games and conceding only 25. An average of 4 goals per game.

Man of the match records for the season - Shinan received one; Mickey and Whitters gained two each; Zj picked up four and JW received five; but it was our intrepid striker and club captain, Bimbo who walked away with this, picking up a grand total of 12 MoM awards!

All-in-all another good season! The new season will provide another new challenge, as the league sees the return of the 'son of BH' in the form of Mean Machine - who will make it very difficult for us to achieve a top three finish in season 21..!!! Negotiations in the close season also saw the return of Bob to our defence - welcome back to the club to him! Hopefully his addition will help our defence against the top teams!

C'mon Boston!!! Onwards and upwards..!!!
