KETTERING
Kettering player-manager Carl Shutt is hoping a victory
at home to Nuneaton Borough will start a sustained push
away from the basement. The Rockingham Road outfit, who
have picked up just 11 points, have a handful of injuries

over who is fit.

STEVENAGE
Stevenage will be without Kirk Jackson for the visit of
Scarborough after the striker was sold to Yeovil for

Stirling and Gary MacDonald to the squad after injury,
but Jason Goodliffe is out.
