Jamie Cooke’s 61st-minute strike earned Halifax a 1-0 home win over Boston in the National League.

Town had suffered a midweek loss at Southend and gone down to a 2-1 defeat to Fylde in their last home outing, but they bounced back to move within a point of fifth-placed Gateshead.

Cooke’s seventh league goal of the campaign proved enough to end the stubborn resistance of relegation-threatened Boston.

Chances were few and far between in an even first half, but Cooke broke the deadlock 16 minutes after half-time.

Ryan Galvin carried the ball forward and picked out Cooke, who fired into the bottom corner to earn Halifax a 14th league victory of the season.
