Kettering Town Under 10'a travelled away this weekend to play their first match against Gregory Celtic. Kettering opened the score first with Gregory Celtic making it 1-1 a short while later. Not to be outdone, Kettering again took the lead and held it until the last minute of the match when Gregory Celtic came back to equalise. A good result for first time out and an enjoyable experience, setting the team up for their next match.

Yes - better pitches mean a better chance to develop technique/skills
No - wouldn't make any real difference to development
Maybe - but I'd be worried about more injuries on firm pitches
