Kettering 2nd XV 31 - 24 Newark 2nd XV

The Blues 2nd team came out on top in an entertaining encounter, where their visitors came back from a significant deficit to leave the home side hanging on in the final stages after the Blues had introduced a significant amount of less experienced players into the fray, who had been due to play for the 3rd team against Peterborough Lions 2nd XV who had, disappointingly withdrawn from their fixture at lunchtime on Saturday, leaving the Kettering players to amalgamate with the 2nd and 4th team squad.
