The city side have only been outclassed once this season when hosting Stourbridge in an FA Cup tie. Stourbridge are still in the competition.

Kettering play two divisions higher than Sports and warmed up for this tie with an impressive 7-0 win at St Ives on Saturday (November 5). If Kettering field a strong side, Sports will be hard pushed to get a positive result at Latimer Park. The Poppies play their home games in Burton Latimer these days.
