Kettering and Oxford maintained their unbeaten starts to the Blue Square Premier season with a 1-1 draw at Rockingham Road.

Jean-Paul Marna gave the home side the lead with an 11th minute penalty after he was brought down by Ryan Clarke.

But the visitors drew level eight minutes later when Kevin Sandwith finished from an Adam Murray free-kick.

Kettering had Damian Spencer sent off for two second-half bookings, but Oxford could not capitalise.
