The Blues travelled once again to brand new opponents for the club, this time to Bridgnorth in Shropshire.

Kettering kicked off on a very wet pitch after 24 hours of heavy rain and with the rain still falling, and soon found themselves under pressure from a big yet very mobile side and went behind after 10 minutes with a converted try. Although the Blues had some chances to score it was the hosts who increased their lead just before half time with another converted try to make the score 0 - 14.

Kettering started the second half strongly, but it was Bridgnorth who increased their lead as the Blues couldn’t prevent a try from a catch and drive at the line out near the Kettering line 0 - 19.

With 25 minutes gone and Imran Edwards in the bin the Blues suddenly found their feet and scored two excellent tries, the first from Steve Dysel and the second from Steve Fraher both being converted by Joe Daniel, the score 14 - 19.

The Blues were now on top and Bridgnorth suddenly looked as if they were there for the taking and the visitors looked set for a losing bonus point if not a win which they thoroughly deserved, but it was not to be and from the final play of the game and seven minutes into injury time Bridgnorth scored their own bonus point try and left the Blues with nothing, Bridgnorth 26 Kettering 14.
