Boswell brace continues East Preston’s cup defence
A Darren Boswell brace within three second-half minutes sealed victory against a decent Newhaven outfit, who had levelled Adam Hunt’s early goal midway through the first half.
EP manager Dominic Di Paola saluted his depleted side’s character to turn things around after a sloppy end to the first half, as well as recognising the benefits of having a big squad.

“We got to grips with them and credit to the boys as we are walking wounded at the moment.
“It just shows how important a strong squad is as last year we would have gone out of the cup as we didn’t have the strength in depth.”
