The author proves a conjecture of \textit{N. Boston} [in: Beauville surfaces and groups. Proceedings of the conference, Newcastle, UK, June 7--9, 2012. Cham: Springer. 35--40 (2015; Zbl 1318.20018)] that if \(p\geq 5\), all \(p\)-central quotients of the free group on two generators and of the free product of two cyclic groups of order \(p\) are Beauville groups. In the case of the free product, he also determines Beauville structures in \(p\)-central quotients when \(p = 3\). As a consequence, he gives an infinite family of Beauville 3-groups, which is different from the ones that were known up to date.
