Dancy Receives One-Match Ban

KETTERING-- The Nationwide Conference Football Association has suspended Poppies' midfielder Stefan Dancy for one match for his red card dismissal in Monday's friendly match with AFC Bournemouth.

Dancy received the card after pushing the Cherries' striker Steven Fletcher to the ground in the 64th minute of the match at Kettering Town's Rockingham Road stadium. Dancy appeared to be reacting to a physical scrape with Fletcher over a throw-in.

Despite the infraction, the Poppies went on to defeat the Cherries, 1-0, playing shorthanded, in new manager Matthew Kieta's first match at the head of the club.

Dancy, 18, is expected to play a key role in the Poppies' midfield this season. He will miss Thursday's friendly against Peterborough at the Rock.

Kieta had little comment on the matter when reached at the team offcies. He said he will not appeal the ban, and that any other disciplinary action, if any, would be "internal only".

The Poppy players had the day off, as per a common post-match tradition.
