Legend Solkhon set to miss out

Kettering Town legend Brett Solkhon looks set to be ruled out of tomorrow’s Evo-Stik South League Premier play-off semi-final at Slough Town.

It has been a memorable campaign for the Poppies stalwart who broke through the 500 appearance mark while he has also enjoyed his best return of goals in a season, having struck 23 times in all competitions.

But he is now likely to miss out on the biggest game of the campaign so far. Solkhon suffered a groin injury while converting a penalty during Kettering’s 6-2 success over Farnborough at Latimer Park on the final day of the regular season at the weekend.

The 35-year-old was forced off and boss Marcus Law has now admitted he will be “very surprised” if the fans’ favourite proves his fitness before the play-off showdown at Arbour Park. “I am not hanging my hat on it, it looks like it is a tear and I would be very surprised if he is available,” Law said.
