Match Preview

This week sees Kettering travel to Cambridge for the first time this season to play Cambridge Vets. Vets have had a slow start to their campaign with defeats to CoP5 but a narrow loses to March and a 1-0 reverse last week at Leadenham. They are on a four game losing streak since they beat Spalding 3rds 5-0, their only win of the year. A lunch time start at St Johns College.
If Kettering maintain their form from last week they may be too hot for the Vets to handle. Camb Vets are team that play as a proper Vets team and although sitting in the CCHC structure are bypassed by youngsters who play in the 1-6 teams. On ability they sit between the 4ths and 5ths. This year they will be looking to finish above the two Spalding sides and CoP5 in what looks a four horse race at the foot of the table.
Fresh from last week’s mauling of Spalding Kettering welcome back the prolific Pat Cawley and Lash Lashbrooke and select from a full squad hoping to keep themselves in the promotion hunt. The top of the table is quite congested with 4 points covering the top five sides. March play Cambridge 4 this week so a positive result there and a win for Kettering will move Kettering back into the automatic places on goal differenc. In form Ely play Bourne in the day’s other top clash.
