Law seeks unity as Poppies approach the play-offs

Marcus Law says the Kettering Town fans can take him “to the sword” if his team don’t gain promotion through the play-offs – but until then he has demanded unity from all sides of the club.

The Poppies found themselves with an opportunity to take second place in the Evo-Stik South League Premier ahead of Tuesday night’s clash with Tiverton Town at Latimer Park.
