The Colts travelled away to Peterborough in their first League game of the Season. Kettering were a little slow out of the blocks to start with which saw Peterborough put the first score onto the sheet. This was the wake up call we needed. Alex Bayley captained his team really well and motivated them to create opportunities. Jordan Goldsmith scored a cracking try which Joe Allen then converted. The forwards worked really well and created another opportunity for the skipper to score. We went into half time 12 - 5 up. A regroup at half time and a good motivational chat by Phil York saw Kettering come out wanting to take the game to Peterborough. Josh Beal put in some fantastic tackles and Justin Morris disrupted Peterborough's play which created good ball for Nathaniel Hickey on his debut to score with Joe Allen converting. Peterborough came back at us, but the forwards kept on working. We won all of our lineouts and disrupted the oppositions, great play by Gabriel York. Joe Allen was outstanding in his kicking, he kept pinging the corners which put Peterborough on the back foot.
Man of the Match - Joe Allen
DOTD - Gabriel York
