Boston United began life in the Unibond Premier Division with a hard-fought 3-2 win over Ossett Town on Wednesday.

Jon Froggatt headed the Pilgrims in front at York Street, and after David Briggs levelled, a brace from Ollie Ryan made it 3-1 at half-time.

The visitors' Ashley Longstaff made it 3-2 after the break as Boston missed several chances to kill the game off.

Manager Tommy Taylor told BBC Radio Lincolnshire: "It's three points, but we were poor in the second half."

The Pilgrims were demoted from the Blue Square North for breaching administration rules.
