Moulton welcome Kettering Nomads to Brunting Road this Saturday (KO 2:00) for a Les Underwood Junior Cup tie.

Nomads currently occupy 6th position in the Northants Combination Premier Division with 18 points gained from 11 league games. They have a total of 6 wins (4 home; 2 away) and 5 defeats in the league. Their previous opponents in the Junior Cup were Raunds Town and Corby White Hart Locos, and have also progressed to the next round of this seasons Northants Combination Premier Div Cup. Their last 4 league games have seen them gain 3 wins (Spratton (H-Lge); Corby Pegasus (H-Cup); Corby White Hart (H-Cup)) and 1 defeat (Heyford Athletic (A-Lge)).

Moulton’s form in the last month has seen an unbeaten run of 7 games with 6 wins (5 home; 1 away) and an away draw.

Last season saw Nomads take the Combination Premier Division title and also progress as far as the Premier Division KO Cup and Junior Cup Semi-Finals, being knocked out each time by Blisworth. The last fixtures between the two teams were back in the 2021/22 season where we saw a draw early in the season at home (2-2) but a ‘bad day at the office’ away losing heavily (1-9) in February. Order was however restored a month later with a 2-0 League Cup win at home.

Saturdays referee is Peter Kirkup who as far as I can see has not officiated a match involving Moulton in the recent past.
