BIGGLESWADE TOWN 2 v KETTERING TOWN 2

A blast from the past came to town last evening. One of the several "BIG" teams of yesteryear who arrive at the Langford Road expecting the small town team to roll over but as shown before the Waders are no respecter of past glories.
Kettering had the early game and their fast running forwards Hicks and Brighton were certainly lively. Kettering went ahead on 9 via a free kick when James Brighton stroked the ball through the Waders wall and wide of our man Brown , for a peach of a goal. Onwards in time and with the Waders pressing the Poppies backwards, a break saw Nathan Hicks collect the ball and out manoeuvre Ian Rees to somehow get the ball past our man to make it 2-0 by 23 gone. The visiting supporters were in fine voice at the far end of the ground. 6 minutes later and Inih Effiong receives a through ball from Connor Hall, Inih sidesteps the keeper and from a tight angle plants the ball firmly for 2-1. With the Wader tails up, the boys in green were starting to lay siege to the Kettering goal, notice of what was to come after the break.

The second 45 belonged to Biggleswade, apart from a couple of corners Kettering posed no danger although nerves jangled just a bit. Effiong, Parker and Daniel all had clear chances and the Waders could have racked up five. The clock ticked away and the deficit still there Manager Nunn sent on Tony Burnett the mast magician to try his luck down the left. A few minutes later Kweko Lucan came on to offer pace down the right. Somehow and the view was blurred by players Kweko got the ball into the box to find Burnett to slide the ball under the advancing keeper. Kettering heads dropped they had defended so well for 45 but the equaliser was just rewards for a brilliant second half display from the home team.
