Gascoigne made a perfect start to his Kettering career

The former England midfielder, who took over at the Conference North side this week, saw his side edge a tense battle against their fellow high-flyers.

Moore's strike came in the 62nd minute, as he scored from close range after an inviting low cross from Wayne Diuk.

There was a brawl late on after Kettering's Neil Midgley was fouled - but Gascoigne stayed out of the melee.
