This was our toughest test of the season so far against a team that beat us three times last year, with the last game of the season a 5-1 defeat. We started slowly and looked like we might get overrun, but managed to get a foothold in the game as started to pass the ball well. Against the run of play we conceded the first goal, but we continued to play the better football and were rewarded with a goal towards the end of the half. This year we have been creating more chances and should have been in the lead.
In the second half we went a goal down early. However, we continued to play and our best passing move of the match saw us carry the ball from defence to attack in a great move. A mistake in the Hitchin defence allowed us in with a goal which took us to 3-2 with fifteen minutes to go. Hitchin fought back with a goal with 5 minutes from the end.
A great game and fair result.
