Poppies well beaten at Hereford

Kettering Town suffered a 4-1 defeat at champions Hereford but a late goal elsewhere swung the race for second place in the Evo-Stik South League Premier back in their favour.

Playing their fifth game in nine days, the Poppies found themselves 3-0 down inside the first 15 minutes in front of a record league crowd for the Bulls of 4,556 at Edgar Street.

Poppies managed to score as the Bulls pushed to 4-0...4-1

But there was a twist to come as former AFC Rushden & Diamonds man Nabil Shariff grabbed a late equaliser for St Neots Town at second-placed King’s Lynn Town. It now means that, due to their better goal difference, the Poppies should finish second if they win their last two matches of the season against Tiverton Town on Tuesday night and Farnborough next Saturday.
