Royston Match Programme Notes 4th November 2023
Dear Supporter
Sad news recently on the death of Dominic Genovese. My memory in connection with him was the season Carl Shutt was sacked and Dominic was put in charge of the Poppies. We were already relegated from Conference National and played, from memory, our last game of the season away to Barnet. They pummelled us and we won 2-1 with a Barnet own goal and our only shot on target from Lee Clark. Rest in peace Dominic. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.
Depending on whether the AFC Telford game went ahead in the week or not, this could be our first home game since Hitchin back at the end of September. Prior to that we won back to back away games against Leiston and Berkhamsted – the first time in quite some time! Hopefully, those victories will push us on and away from the relegation zone.
The Trust has sponsored a home and away shirt this season as usual – Luca Purse ad Lewis White respectively. There will be a members draw at the end of the season to win these shirts. Last season’s draw for the two shirts were won by Barry Grant and Mark Sewell.
Now we are in November it is probably safe to mention the impending festive season! So if you are starting your present shopping don’t forget that if you shop on-line via:

We are currently liaising with the Club as to what projects we can assist them with financially. There are some projects in the pipeline so look out for details in the near future. Your membership money will go towards one of these as and when it is decided which one works best for the Club.

Junior Trust Membership – FREE! 16 and under
Below is a reminder of THE AIMS OF THE TRUST which were put in place over 20 years ago. The Trust was formed in 1992 but the only aim back then was to save the Club (a good one obviously). These now form the basis of the Trust:
• To strengthen the bonds between Kettering Town Football Club and the community and to represent the interests of the community in the running of the Club
• To encourage the Club to take proper account of the interests of its supporters and of the community it serves in its decisions
• To encourage and promote the principle of supporter representation on the Board of the Club and ultimately to be the vehicle for democratic elections to the Board
• To raise money and donate in such a way to promote the aims and objectives of the Trust and to the benefit of the local community and the supporters of the Club
• To benefit present and future members of the community served by the Club by promoting, encouraging and furthering the game of football as a recreational facility, sporting activity and focus for community involvement
• To maximise the potential, future success and stability of Kettering Town Football Club
