There was the brilliant FA Cup run and that special Sixfields win at county rivals Northampton Town.
There was the superb league form in the first half of the campaign, with the Poppies sweeping aside all that was put in front of them.
Then there was the drop off in form from the turn of the year onwards as Bedford Town upset the odds to win the Southern League Premier Central title, and that agonising play-off final defeat to AFC Telford United at a packed Latimer Park.
It was a season of real highs and disappointing lows, and thankfully photographer PETER SHORT was on hand throughout the campaign to capture the moments as they happened from a season the Poppies fans won't forget for a long time.

13. Kettering Town 1 Bromsgrove Sporting 2 - January 25, 2025
Wintry weather interfered with the schedule and off the back of another chastening defeat, this time at Redditch, Richard Lavery needed a win any way he could get it. Bromsgrove started the evening third from bottom but you were hard pressed to work out who the title challengers were - Ben Hart's goal was little consolation and the cracks were beginning to show Photo: Peter Short

14. Stourbridge 1 Kettering Town 3 - February 15, 2025
These two sides have produced some excellent matches in the past and boy did Kettering need something now. They put aside their poor league form to produce a performance close to what was on show earlier in the season. Noel-Williams opened the scoring before a Terrell Pennant wonder strike and Jonny Edwards penalty sealed the deal. Photo: Peter Short

15. Bedford Town 3 Kettering Town 1 - February 21, 2025
Billed as Friday night under the lights, it was first v second and the next chapter of an old rivalry with a tremendous New Eyrie atmosphere the backdrop. But only one side showed up and the Poppies faithful were stunned into silence when former Poppy Bruno Andrade struck twice in the first eight minutes to effectively end the game! Photo: Peter Short

16. Kettering Town 0 Halesowen Town 0 - February 25, 2025
Despite the damaging defeat to Bedford, Kettering still had games in hand to go back to the top. Victory over the Yeltz would be a great signal they were still champions-elect. But it was the West-Midlands side that had the better chances and this late Wes York effort crossing the goal line would have been harsh on the visitors Photo: Peter Short
