Game 37/40.

The Blues head to Kettering Town this evening in league action after a 2-0 home win against Hitchin Town on Saturday. This is Leiston’s last midweek match of the campaign.

The sides met in late October in Suffolk, with the Blues going down 2-0 to two late goals, which left Leiston in the bottom four.

This is only the second ever season the two clubs have met in the league. The first was in the 2018/2019 season, with Leiston beating Kettering 2-1 away from home thanks to goals from Dominic Docherty and a late winner from Patrick Brothers. In the reverse game in April 2019, Kettering won 1-0 with a stoppage time goal that put the Northamptonshire side on the verge of winning the league.

The ‘Poppies’ are now safe after suffering a poor start to the season as they were relegated last season from the National North. They lie in 16th place, just six points off Leiston.

FUN FACT: - Kettering Town are the highest scorers in the FA Cup with 912 goals. They once won a game 16-0 against Higham YMCI in 1909. They have reached the Fourth Round Proper twice.
