The Blues pack their bags to visit Boston United at York Street on Wednesday evening looking to break their duck against the hosts. The two previous games have resulted in one drawn game and one defeat for the Cumbrians.
The previous match played between the two in deepest Lincolnshire was within the last three years, in August 2003, the Pilgrims carving out a narrow 1 - 0 victory in a Division Three match.
