Westwood has yet to score in the right net for Kettering

Ashley Westwood's own goal settled the Northamptonshire derby as 10-man Rushden & Diamonds beat Kettering.

Westwood attempted to head Curtis Osano's long free-kick back to his keeper Nathan Abbey but succeeded only in looping the ball over him and in.

Justin Miller was sent off for a second yellow after a tackle on Marcus Kelly.

Kettering's Luke Graham hit the post, Westwood and Brett Solkhon missed with free headers and Osano almost scored an own goal of his own with his head.
