S9 Ep29: 21st February 2025 - Kettering Town & AFC Welwyn

A strangely quiet week in Non League as the focus tightens on who is going to get titles and promotions. We have two managers, both with strong winning mentalities, both currently off the top of their divisions but with their sights set very firmly on taking top spot shortly and securing the title in the coming weeks. First up Kettering Town’s Richard Lavery who in his first year since returning to the club has staved off relegation, seen new owners coming in, beaten local EFL rivals in the first round of the FA Cup and now looks to secure promotion back to National North from the Southern Central Premier Division. Brett Donnelly never envisaged dropping back to manager in Step 6, but then not many probably envisaged AFC Welwyn even existing, let alone pulling up trees to be in a strong position of a second promotion since being founded in 2023. After the disappointment of his departure from Hitchin earlier this season he certainly seems to have found that spark again reigniting his love of Non League football.
