Boston Town moved to within one place of the play-offs with this impressive away win.
Manager Chris Funnell knew it was a great opportunity for his side because most other United Counties Premier North fixtures fell foul of the wintry weather.
The Poachers took an immediate liking to the 3G surface at Eastwood’s Coronation Park where Belper are playing their home games.
Harry Limb helped himself to his 24th goal of the season after just 2 minutes to put the visitors into the driving seat.
Town had chances to extend their lead in the first half and on the hour they did make it 2-0 thanks to sumptuous strike from distance by Kris Zaluzinskis on his first start.
Limb nearly added a third when he rounded the keeper, only to see Nick Hood get back and clear it off the line.
But Belper’s reprieve didn’t last long. Limb had another shot after 65 minutes and although the home keeper Joe Fryatt made a good save, the Boston striker gobbled up the rebound.
At that point the visitors appeared to be coasting to victory in their first game since Boxing Day.
But Belper had other ideas and made it a nervy finish as two late goals from Courtay Steadman pulled it back to 3-2.
Town: Portas, Burdass, Smith (Millar), Zaluzinskis, Hudson, Wilson, Adams (Tate), Maddison (Chew), Nuttell (Dakin), Limb, Bayliss
