Law disappointed 'crazy game'

By David Simpson

Royston V Kettering

Marcus Law described Kettering Town’s 4-3 defeat at Royston Town as a “crazy game” as his team’s Evo-Stik South League Premier title hopes suffered a setback.

In a topsy-turvy encounter, the Poppies took an early lead through Lindon Meikle, only to fall 2-1 behind before Mathew Stevens levelled before half-time.

Royston regained the lead before Brett Solkhon equalised from the penalty spot, however it was the hosts who won it late on. The defeat has left the Poppies five points behind leaders King’s Lynn Town while second-placed Weymouth also won and Hereford leapfrogged Kettering into third place with a 4-2 success at Farnborough.

“It was a crazy game and that can be summed up when you consider that the goals we have conceded have come from two deflections, a penalty and an own-goal,” Law said.
