KETTERING NEXT IN THE TROPHY

Town will now face Kettering Town on Saturday 28th October at Harrison Park.

The Poppies are currently top of Step 3 league, the EVO-STIK Southern Premier with nine wins out of ten so far.

The winners of that tie will pick up £3,250. Blues pocketed £3.000 for the victory over Lincoln United.

Kettering are no strangers to Harrison Park having visited just last season in the FA Cup 1st Qualifying Round where they edged a close game 3-2.

Looking back at the game, Blues boss Neil Baker (pictured) commented, “It’s good to get through but we took a long time in getting there.

“However, we eventually overcame them but should have done it earlier with the good football we produced in the second half. “

Meanwhile, Baker was also pleased to see his side top the Fair Play League saying,

“It's nice to win the fair play award and it’s very good for the players – no suspensions are as important as the award itself."

Blues are back in action on Saturday with another difficult game at home to unbeaten Basford United in the EVO-STIK South.
