Boston registered their first win of the season, with Jacob Hazel and Keaton Ward on target in a 2-0 victory at York.

Hazel broke the deadlock midway through the second half and substitute Ward added the Pilgrims’ second in the 87th minute.

York, who slipped to their first league defeat of the season, went close before the break when Ricky Aguiar’s shot from Cameron John’s cutback was well saved by Boston goalkeeper Cameron Gregory.

Home goalkeeper Harrison Male denied Hazel with a fine save in the 67th minute, but the Boston striker tapped home at the far post from Jordan Richards’ excellent cross two minutes later.

Ward wrapped up the points for the Pilgrims in the closing stages when he ran on to Pemi Aderoju’s through-ball and fired into the bottom corner.
