Arlesey cup match at Kettering in severe doubt

Kettering’s league game at home to Bideford at the weekend was postponed. The club informed the Evo-Stik Southern League that due to a dispute with the energy supplier there would be no electricity at the ground.

The official club website said: “The club have been asked to give assurances to the league about next Tuesday’s scheduled Red Insure Cup game at home to Arlesey Town - and this game must now be in severe doubt.”

The club was set a 4pm deadline on Monday to assure the game could go ahead at Nene Park.

Poppies caretaker-manager Alan Doyle told the Northants Telegraph: “I certainly don’t expect Tuesday’s game to go ahead given the situation with the electricity.”
