Dont believe Chris Hope has a club for next season yet, and is still local.

I reckon that Kett will end up playing at Corby Town's new ground

Fans of both R&D and Kett have said a resounding no to a merger - or ground share
Diamonds have no players - and no money
Kett have no manager - and no money
Corby have no money but a new ground

so the fit with Corby looks better ...

Yesterday was a very sad day for us. Our son has been coached by R&DFC since he was 6 years old. Through the reigns of Geoff Harrop, Greg Broughton, Paul Driver and latterly Mark Starmer.

As well as a proposed merger with Kett, what is the option with Corby Town for anyone - same position, nice new stadium, released most of the non contract players once safe, and seem to be in a bit of financial strife.

3 clubs in small area all with the same problem - not enough paying fans ...

Don't forget that Corby Town also appear to have a club / stadium / league that they cant afford to run

You would have thought that the £400 or so that each of the Parents paid for their childs training / match fees per annum would enable the C of E self funding.

I hope this doesn't include U16 lads that have agreed to sign on for the club at the sports performance course at Raunds Manor next year ...

A sad loss to Goalkeeping - All at Thrapston Warriors Junior Club thoughts are with the family and all connected at Nene Park.
