DAVID Kolodynski sealed his first Poppies hat-trick in a five-goal thriller against Royston Town.
A red card for Scott Bridges and goals from Hall and Sandy made sure Kettering Town stay top of the league after thrashing Royston Town 5-0.
Andy Hall came in for Claudiu Hoban and Gooding replaced in-form Ogbonna after failing a fitness test.
The first chance of the game came to Royston Town 11 minutes in when Kaan Fehmi took an audacious attempt from long-range but it was saved well by Richard Knight.
The Poppies responded well six minutes later when Elliot Sandy picked up the ball in the box and had his shot tipped over the bar by Royston keeper Ron Yates.
Sandy wasn't stopping there though as he made a great run towards the box but his effort was deflected into Yates’ arms.
Nothing much happened after that until the 41st minute when Scott Bridges was sent off for a late challenge on Tommy Hull.
Kettering Town started the first half brightly as Steve Kinniburgh’s cross was poorly dealt with by the Royston defenders and Hall smashed it home.
The Poppies found the back of the net just three minutes later as Sandy finished into an empty net following a goalkeeper error.
Royston had a great chance to pull a goal back after their corner was flicked onto the back post but Fehmi’s sliding shot somehow went over from two yards out.
The visitors were punished for that miss one minute later when David Kolodynski tapped in his first Poppies goal.
Kolodynski then had his first shot saved but slotted home the rebound to make it 4-0.
The Poppies weren't done there however as Elliot Sandy attempted a bicycle kick that had to be saved.
Kolodynski rounded off the game in the final minute after Sandy was taken down in the box, calmly finishing the penalty.
