Boston Named In Match Fixing Probe

The Daily Mirror have named the Carlisle vs Boston match on March 25th as the game that is under investigation over match fixing.

The game ended 4-2, with Carlisle scoring a last-minute fourth goal. The suspicious betting centres on Carlisle having won by at least two clear goals. Reports from the match described the win as 'flattering', and that the final goal was scored into an empty net three minutes into injury time after Boston's keeper had been sent forward for a corner.

Boston are still tarnished by an FA probe into illegal payments to players with several current and former employees, including manager Steve Evans, due in court to face tax evasion and other charges.
