With numerous players missing due to injury, holidays and Josh Cox's wedding, this was a great opportunity for several players to stake their claim.

Both sides were somewhat hampered by unavailabilities, but this didn't stop them playing a full-blooded encounter, which will have given both camps food for thought as the start of the season draws near. The first half saw Mkt Harborough take a 2 tries to 1 lead into the break.
The Blues started the second period strongly and scored twice before the visitors hit back to level things again. The last quarter belonged to Kettering who scored 4 unanswered tries as the pace of the game took its toll on the visitors smaller squad.
Many positives for the Blues and Mkt Harborough to take away from this game, and certainly things to work on in the coming days, as the Blues prepare for their opening league game at home to Newark next weekend.
