Boston United delivered a commanding first-half performance to secure a crucial 3-2 victory at Forest Green Rovers, despite a nervy finish. Frankie Maguire's early penalty set the tone before Jamie Grimes doubled the lead, and Tom Cursons effectively killed the contest with a third goal just before halftime. Forest Green's triple substitution at the break sparked a spirited fightback, with substitute Harvey Bunker pulling one back and Tom Knowles scoring a dramatic 90th-minute goal, but it proved too little too late. The result maintains Boston United's strong position in the National League title race, while Forest Green will rue their passive first-half display that ultimately cost them points at home.
