Kettering ran out 2-1 winners over Eastwood in the FA Cup third round, despite a tense finale at the A-Line Arena. The hosts looked in line for a straightforward victory after goals from Craig Westcarr and Gareth Seddon took the Poppies into a 2-0 lead. However, Eastwood rallied and Paul Robinson's deflected effort on the hour mark brought them back into the game. The UniBond Premier League side poured forward to try and seal the replay, but Russell Cooke's deflected shot in the final moments was the closest they would come to an equaliser.
