Kettering had to settle for a point in a game they generally dominated but just couldn't find the finishing touch.
Saints flooded players forward every time they attacked but Kettering held out well. Grant Carlin was unlucky not to score when a short corner was somehow deflected by a surprised goalkeeper. Saints took the lead mid way through the first half with an incisive counter attack but Kettering equalised when Ben Mills was on hand to bury a rebound short corner.
The second half saw Kettering even more dominant.
Carlin had a goal disallowed disallowed and Mark Hawkins went close on a couple of occasions but Kettering had to settle for a point. St Neots will be a difficult team to beat at home on this form.
Kettering drop to second in the table and face an immediate six pointer after the break when they host leaders Cambridge City 5.
