Loan Watch: Sloggett makes winning start to life at Boston

Greg Sloggett has picked up two wins from two since being loaned to fellow National League side, Boston United.

The Irishman joined the Pilgrims on Tuesday afternoon and was involved immediately as Graham Coughlan’s side claimed a 3-0 win over Southend United.

Sloggett came off the bench on 78 minutes, with Boston leading 2-0, and the third was added in the 80th when Zak Mills got on the scoresheet.

The 28-year-old was again deployed from the bench on Saturday, coming on for the last 20 minutes as Boston and Sutton were tied at 1-1.

The Pilgrims scored deep into injury time through James Gale to win the game and send Boston out of the relegation zone by a single point.

Elsewhere in the National League, Maidenhead United sunk further into the relegation zone after a 1-0 defeat to Dagenham & Redbridge.

Pools defender Manny Onariase played the full 90 minutes, lining up against former teammate Josh Umerah.

Alan Devonshire’s side would ultimately drop to 23rd place after Josh Rees scored the only goal of the game for the Daggers on 54 minutes.

A number of Pools players were in action across Northern League Division One this weekend.

Alfie Steel and Joe Aungiers recently joined West Auckland Town on loan, linking up with Max Storey, and all three were involved on Saturday against Penrith.

Storey started the game before being replaced by Aungiers in the 86th minute. Steel, meanwhile, made his debut midway through the first half.

It was a hectic game in the North West and the points looked like being shared at 3-3, however James Harrison popped up with a 93rd minute winner to claim a dramatic victory for West Auckland.

Meanwhile, several youngsters were involved in a goalless draw between Seaham Red Star and Redcar Athletic.

Pools goalkeeper Josh Mazfari lined up for league leaders Redcar, keeping his 25th clean sheet of the season.

Academy midfielder Eddie Ormerod made his senior debut for Seaham, coming off the bench on 55 minutes, while Tye Grundle and Charlie Berry remained as unused substitutes.
