Algarve. The Cricketers used to be my local too. Unfortunately it closed down about 3 years ago and is now student flats. Shame.

Used to be a league club I think.

Did we play them once? In a JPT or something. They ring bells for me too. Maybe I just like the name!

I saw CAFC vs R&DFC in a friendly HugoHackenbush was in attendance too about 10 years ago!
Their original ground is still not used, though it had superb training facilities, England junior teams used it many times.

Rubbish and dustbins became AFC diamonds and now play at Wellingborough. Kettering played for one season at the Diamonds old ground before relocating back to the borough of Kettering, specifically Latimer Park, Burton Latimer, also the home of Weetabix!

Enjoy Northampton, I enjoy going there for the cricket and that's about all, though my daughter who works for Avon is currently buying a home in Duston.
