Corby were knocked out of the Buildbase FA Trophy at the weekend after Hednesford Town claimed a 2-1 success at Steel Park with Jordon Crawford on target for the hosts.

But, with a new national lockdown due to Covid-19 set to begin on Thursday, 'non-elite' sport is set to be halted until at least December 2.

In their most recent statement on the matter, the Football Association said: "We remain in regular dialogue with the government in relation to both men’s and women’s ‘non-elite’ football in England and will provide a further update on this in due course.
