Kettering Town FC players will be able to tuck into bowls of Northamptonshire’s famous breakfast cereal before their FA Cup second round game thanks to a sponsorship deal with neighbours Weetabix.

The Poppies and Weetabix are based on the same road in Burton Latimer – the two famous brands within sight of each other on Polwell Lane.

As Kettering Town face Doncaster Rovers at Latimer Park, the cereal giant has joined as one of the sponsors of their local team.

At a training session for the second round match players and managers were each presented with a personalised box of Weetabix with their name on it.
