Match Day

KETTERING-- By the time you read this, the Poppies will already be on their way to Stevenage for their first away match in the Conference this season. The match will be played tonight at 7:30 p.m. at Broadway Hall, the Boro's home ground.

The Kettering-Stevenage is just one of a full slate of Conference matchups tonight, as the full table will be in action.

Kettering lost its home opener to Barnet, 2-0, on Saturday, while Stevenage beat Scarborough on the road, 1-0.

Although Kettering did well on offense early in its preseason friendly, it has failed to score in its last two matches, including the friendly-fixture-ending shutout loss to Leyton Orient on August 6. It is also regarded as a team that is not too deep nor talented up front.

Kieta said he might do some lineup tinkering tonight.

"Don't hold me to it, though," Kieta said. "Or expect me to stay consistent. As a side, we are still trying to find the best lineup and tactic that works well together, and you will likely see me tinkering with this for a while yet. I also like to make regular rotations, and few of the guys will be playing in most of the matches this season, as I try to keep everyone fresh."

Kieta said centre back Bret Solkhon would not be available tonight, as he is still recovering from a tough Barnet match, which hit the Poppies' fullbacks hard.

Other Conference Matchups

Match of the Night: Doncaster at Morecambe-- These two teams are both expected to be among the best sides in the Conference this year, although they got off to different starts on Saturday.
