Poppies win 2-0 at Redditch Utd

Mark Cooper rallies his troops for Kettering Town's final away fixture of the season with the relatively short trip to the Valley Stadium to take on Redditch Utd. The Poppies are looking to beat Northwich Victoria's record of 92 points, set by the Vics during their 2005-06 championship season.

A good start for the Poppies bid to capture the record points total in BSN and an excellent late season run of goalscoring form for Craig Westcarr who nets his 13th league goal of the season to put Kettering 1-0 up on 23 minutes. Approaching the half-hour mark and Kettering increase their lead to 2-0 when an excellent strike by David Galbraith marked his return to the starting lineup with his second goal of the season.

Half-time: Redditch Utd 0 Kettering Town 2

Not much happened of real note in the second period following Kettering establishing a 2-0 cushion in the first half-hour and the match came to a conclusion with no further goals being scored. Another accomplished performance from Kettering in their final away fixture of the 2007-08 season and just a home fixture on saturday against Gainsborough Trinity remaining for the BSN Champions.

The win and subsequent 3pts means that Kettering now hold the record points total gained in a single season for the BSN.
