History of the Accrington Stanley v Boston United fixture

Accrington S. play host to Boston United at Fraser Eagle Stadium on Saturday afternoon, looking to improve on a dire past record against their opponents. It does not make pleasant reading, beating their opponents 1 times from 5 games.

The last time the two teams met at Accrington S. was back in October 1997, over five years ago, where the two sides shared the spoils courtesy of a 1-1 final scoreline in a (Northern) Premier match.
