League Challenge Cup
AFC Rushden & Diamonds v Corby Town
The two local rivals served up an entertaining encounter with Diamonds going 2-0 up in the first half thanks to a Jack Bowen goal and Jesse Akubuine’s fine free-kick.
The Steelmen hit back after the break with Elliot Sandy on target but young midfielder Matthew Slinn capped a man-of-the-match display to make it 3-1 from a free-kick and Diamonds saw it out to claim a 3-2 success after Sandy pulled another one back.
