Rothwell 0-0 Corby.

Phew what à warm night.

A tight game again with both sides feeling the heat.

Plenty of shots to few on target.

Those that were, were well saved by both keepers.

Rothwell survived a scare when their gk made a poor throwout straight to a Cor y forward, who blasted it from the edge of the penalty area. Rothwells keeper made amends for his mistake, with what was probably the save of the match.

Well done all good game.

Good advert for the sport

Hi

Northants FA's 1st friendly tournament was a success, the weather & venue were brilliant.

Corby Town Fc's over 60's team got of to a flying start, winning both their first 2 games.

Their first game was a 2-0 victory, the 1st goal (in video) being scored by Bob King. A 2nd 

was added by Derek Hilling.

Corby were defeated in their 2 remaining games.

However the outright winners were Northants FA, with what turned out to be a great day
