Hide AdIt’s not a quite a club record as Sports A team won 15-0 at Uppingham Reserves last year.
Sports are third in the Premier Division table behind reigning champions Moulton Harrox and city rivals Netherton United.
Harrox were without a fixture at the weekend which enabled unbeaten Netherton to join them on 14 points following a hard fought 3-1 win at Ketton.
Tom Randall (2) and Dan Fountain scored the Netherton goals with Josh Russell replying for Ketton. Ketton failed to convert a penalty at 2-1 down which cost them the chance of a point at least from a high quality encounter.
