We must look after ourselves

Marcus Law wants his Kettering Town players to “keep doing the same thing” as their quest for the Evo-Stik League South Premier Division Central title takes them into another tricky test this weekend.

The Poppies head to play-off chasing Biggleswade Town, who were 3-2 winners at Latimer Park earlier this year, holding an 11-point advantage at the top of the table with eight games to play. Law’s team strengthened their grip on the title race with a 3-0 home success over Banbury United last Saturday.

But, despite their undoubted position of power, Law is keen to see his team maintain their consistency.

“We are in a situation where there is still a lot of pressure on us because we know how many points we need to get over the line,” the Poppies boss said. “And we are coming up against teams who have a lot to play for. Biggleswade are in there and chasing a play-off place so they have every reason to go for it.

“We know we are there to be shot down, we have been in that same position for most of the season.

“But the one thing we have had is consistency and I think we have had that for two seasons now.
