Last minute heartache cost the Spartans 3 points when they met Boston earlier in the league at the Jakemans Community Stadium. Loanee Cedric Main converting a 26th minute penalty to go 0-1 up away from home, Spartans looked to be taking all three points, but suddenly momentum turned Boston’s way in the 89th minute as Kelsey Mooney scored twice and Michael Gyasi added another in added time, snatching all the points away from Blyth.
