Watford managed to take an undeserved lead against Blackpool at Vicarage Road with a great goal from a free kick by the on loan Adam Johnson. However they put in a woeful performance and Blackpool equalised from the penalty spot mid way through the second half.
The Poppies beat Redditch 3-1 to secure their place in the 4th Qualifying round of the FA Cup (draw on Monday lunchtime) an own goal and goals from David Bridges and Steve Burton made it a comfortable afternoon.
For those uninitiated, the round after the 4th qualifying round is the first round proper. So effectively Kettering are one win away from pitting their wits against the likes of Northampton Town, Leeds United or Notts Forest. Watford enter at the third round -so as unlikely as it seems, my two teams could meet in the 3rd round proper at the beginning of January!!!! I could see Kettering progressing a few rounds - they really are a decent side and there is not a lot of difference in quality between Blue Square North and League 2 - I just hope the draw id kind to them. They still have get past the 4th qualifying round where we could see a couple of local derbies thrown at them as Corby Town and Stamford are still in the hat as well!
