Boston United prepare to host Peterborough United in a pre-season friendly at Jakeman's Community Stadium on Saturday. The National League side, who finished 12th last season with 59 points (15W-14D-17L), are looking to build momentum ahead of the new campaign under manager Paul Hurst.
What to expect from Boston United?
Paul Hurst's side have strengthened their squad this summer with notable signings. Jake Rooney, a 22-year-old defender, joined despite interest from higher-tier clubs. The Pilgrims also added experience with Jamie Grimes, a 35-year-old former Chesterfield defender who impressed during a loan spell last season. The backline has been further bolstered by George Ward, Lewis Shipley, and Sai Sachdev.
Peterborough United's pre-season form
Luke Williams' side arrive in Lincolnshire unbeaten in their four pre-season games so far. They secured a 2-1 win over FC Magpies, a 0-0 draw with Saudi Pro League side Neom SC, and a 3-2 victory against Colchester United. A youthful Posh XI also won 1-0 at Peterborough Sports on Wednesday.
Key details for fans
Tickets for the match are available via the Boston United Ticket Office, priced at £12 for adults, £8 for concessions, and £4 for Under 16s. Posh+ subscribers can stream the game as part of their package, while match passes will be available for £5. The Pilgrims will be looking to continue their strong recent form, having won four of their last five matches (WWWWD) and ending last season with a 3-1 victory over Hartlepool on April 25, 2026.
