Howe runs riot as Poppies beat Clitheroe 10-1 in FA Trophy 3Q
Clitheroe 1 Kettering started the match with striker Rene Howe partnering Craig Westcarr upfront following the departure yesterday of top scorer Zema Abbey.
With only half-an-hour gone, there was no letup for Clitheroe as the home side kept pushing forward in search of more goals. The third came courtesy of another Rene Howe strike as Kettering went into a commanding 3-0 lead. With half-time fast approaching, Rene Howe scored his hat-trick third goal and put Kettering into an even more commanding 4-0 lead at the break. Even with the match already won, there was no letup in the second-half as Kettering continued to pour forward and demonstrate the clinical finishing that has conspicously been missing since the start of the season. Further goals from Rene Howe(2), Andre Boucaud, Jean-Paul Marna(2) and Andy Hall rounded off a rampant display by the Poppies against their Unibond Division One opponents and a consolation goal from the visitors made the final scoreline an emphatic 10-1 victory. Att: 761 Kettering: Osborn, Nicell, Graham, McKie, Solkhon, Boucaud, Hall, Marna, Westcarr, Howe, Makofo. Subs: Olaleye, Peprah, Caskey, Bussey. November 25, 2006
