Boston boss Jason Lee frustrated as Pilgrims draw

Canoville's goal against Hyde was his first of the season

Caretaker boss Jason Lee was frustrated as Boston United failed to press home their advantage in their 2-2 draw with 10-man Hyde in Blue Square Bet North.

Hyde had Callum Byrne sent off after 27 minutes with Anthony Church netting the resulting penalty to make it 2-1.

But Boston were punished for not adding to their tally when Andrew Smart levelled from the spot on 77 minutes.

Lee told BBC Lincolnshire: "We were against 10 men at home but never looked like we would get lots of goals."

The Pilgrims had gone ahead through Lee Canoville's sixth-minute header from Jamie Yates' free-kick, but were pegged back 12 minutes later by Kevin Holsgrove's deflected equaliser.

Byrne then saw red for a professional foul after bringing down Yates.

Boston remain third in the table but missed the opportunity to close on the top two, with leaders Alfreton losing and second-placed Telford also drawing.

Lee added: "I felt the first half was OK but in the second-half we didn't really get after them.

"The boys are disappointed but that's a good sign. We don't look on it as a positive result but we're still in there and there are 15 or 16 other teams who would love to swap places with us."
