Love visiting clubs with great or strange names, and you can't get much stranger than ON Chenecks - the Chenecks names comes from the first letters of the Houses at the Northampton School for Boys.
Rugby and cricket were the chosen sports at the school so football was late addition to the list of sports played by the 'old boys'.
But they all seem to get on now with a great shared sports facility, it does mean 2 sides of the football ground are open, but it still has 2 stands and you can also watch the game from the raised balcony of the main changing room building.
On the pitch the Chenecks have a had a terrible start to the season with just one point gained, but it look like their luck was going to change today, getting back on terms in the second half and then getting a penalty with not long left. But luck is certainly not on their side - the penalty was missed and in the last minute they gave away a soft penalty and Rothwell scored theirs - so the home support will have to wait a bit longer for their first win of the season.
