Corby Town U15s are looking forward to a defining day in their story.
They’ve travelled well this season remaining undefeated in their last 14 league games, and now just one solitary point away from wearing the crown as champions. It’s been a campaign of consistency, character, and, quite often, clinical finishing.
They go up against a familiar opponent in Kingsthorpe Jets Majesty. This will be the fourth meeting between these two sides this season, and if recent history is any indicator, Corby will head in as strong favourites. Seventeen goals scored across those three previous encounters, just two conceded.
And yet, matches aren’t won on paper. Kingsthorpe will know they have the chance to spoil the party, to pause the fairytail. They’ll know exactly what’s at stake, not just for Corby, but for their own pride, for their own progress.
Corby will be without injured Redd, and Tia’s absence will be felt due to her being on holiday. But this Corby team has made a habit of finding solutions. They’re built on discipline at the back and dazzling invention in attack. Leila, Lilly-Ella and Lilly-Mai have lit up this season with goals, assists, moments that win matches. And with a league cup final on the horizon, momentum matters now more than ever.
So, will Corby seal the deal and see their name carved into league history. Or will Kingsthorpe defy the odds, dig deep, and delay the celebrations.
