This week FootyMad's match preview focuses on the game between Kettering Town and Grays Athletic at 15:00 on Saturday, 20th February 2010 in the (Conference) Premier.
|
Kettering Tn. prepare to entertain Grays Athletic at Rockingham Road Ground on Saturday afternoon, aiming to preserve their record of never having lost at home to the visitors. The Poppies have drawn both of the previous games against their opponents, however.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Rockingham Road Ground was less than a year ago, in March 2009, when they played out a goalless draw in a (Conference) Premier match.
