Hockey: Acomb men swamp Boston Spa to ease fears
IN-FORM Acomb men’s II beefed up their battle against the drop from division five north by beating visitors Boston Spa 4-1.
Early pressure paid off when David Timmins broke the deadlock.
Despite defiant work by defenders John Armitage and Paul Kellett and goalkeeper Steve Church, Boston restored parity from a short corner.
Starting the second half at a high tempo, Mark Gibbons and Rob Ireland, the Tangerines’ man of the match, bossed midfield.
Harry Ellis was twice on target, followed by a Johnny Brown goal, to confirm the valuable conquest.
