So,the season starts:

AUGUST

Kettering 0-1 MORECAMBE
Awful game for both teams.Only 7 shots made, one of them giving Morecambe the 3 points.Nothing else to remember.No the start we were planning.

Kettering 0-4 SOUTHAMPTON(CH) League Cup 1st Round
Well what to say...It was like we weren't there.Southampton controlled the game from 0 to 90th minute.They had 23 shots, we had 3.Nothing to remember from this match.

KETTERING 3-1 Exeter
At last!Our 1st win in professional football.And truly deserved.We scored 2 in the first 35 mins and it stayed so till half time.They scord on a counter attack in the 52nd min,but we immediately replied.We stayed in control over the rest of the game and got the 3 points.

Peterborough 1-4 KETTERING
2nd win in arow!Well,we were better throughout the game,but no by so much as the score shows.It started baalnced but we scored first and that gave us the mentality to make it 0-3 by half time.The second half was more or less the same.We quickly made it 0-4 and in 51st minute they scored one.And that's all.3 points for us!

PORT VALE 4-1 Kettering
No way to explain this.They weren't better.The game was much balanced.But they scored early,we kept missing chances and they scored again to make 2-0 at half-time.Second half the same story.We miss chances,they score.So it's 4-0 before we score 10 mins to full time.Nothing to remember,moving on.

SEPTEMBER

Kettering 2-3 NOTTS CO
This was some match!They started with all the luck on their side and before we realise it they were leading by 3 goals (27th min).But we pulled ourselves together and we got 2 goals back before half time.And that was it.The 2nd half was just some missed chances,most coming from Notts Co.They were better,deserving their win.

Stevenage 0-3 KETTERING
A very much deserved win.We were much better throughout the entire game.We score 2 in the first minutes,kept control of the game,created many chances and scored one in the 2nd half to put the game beyond doubt.

KETTERING 2-0 Hereford
That was a lucky win...Playing with one of the worst team in the league so far,we were going for an easy game.But it was far from that.Luckily for us we scored an early goal and another one just before half time in the few chances we created.The whole match was dominated by Hereford,but they just couldn't score thanks to our luck and our GK.

KETTERING 3-1 Accrington
Simple thing:we were better,we won.They had 9 shots only 1 on target,we had 12 with 5 on target.After all 4 goals were scored by our players.

CHESTER 2-1 Kettering
It was a balanced game.We conceded a very quick own goal,then both teams had plenty of chances,but couldn't score until the 70th min whn they made it 2-0.After about 10 mins we got one back,but that was it.Defeat.

So after September we find ourselves at 9th place with 5 wins and 4 defeats.Not bad.

The league standings:

Our players so far:

The most noticable thing however is that the team which scores first always wins at the end and also by not losing the lead at the score...

So now,by looking at the league so far I think that we can even hope for a playoff spot...But who knows...
