The Club is counting the cost of missing out on a money-spinning Cup Final against mighty Daventry. The blow was cushioned a little by the thousands of pounds generously given by Corby Town fans to Poppies coffers.
Kettering Boss Lee Harper said, "We were desperate to fit in a prestigious fixture like the Daventry one into our midweek schedule, as we have almost no Tuesday night fixtures for the rest of the season."
"I'm gutted for the lads; they were dying to match themselves against the likes of Nicky Bailie and Joel Young at Daventry. One or two of the boys are in tears back there. I've got a big job to lift them again for Saturday." "Games like Leeds United come and go, but every player wants to make his mark on the Hillier Senior Cup, and write their name into its history", added a bitterly disappointed Harper.
Peter Mallinger paid tribute to the Corby masses at the game, "Where the f**k are they when we're at home?!" beamed the winning Steelman Chairman. He added, "And where were they on Saturday when we had a real f**king game that could have put us in the last 8 of the s**ding Trophy?!"
Jubilant Corby fans poured into the Kettering night. When asked who was their standout player one grinning supporter proudly stated, "That No.5 played well, or was it No.6?" Numerous other happy fans declared, with believable honesty, that this was the best they had ever seen Corby play. None of them, however, were overly keen on turning up for the County showdown with Daventry, as it may clash with Rangers on the television.
"Here we go" cheer happy Corby Town fans, immediately prior to breaking the curfew on their ASBO's.
