U15's REACH COUNTY CUP FINAL

Tuesday, February 9 2010

After falling at the semi-final stage last year, the U15s went one better on Sunday by reaching the County Cup Final after a 2-1 win over St Albans-based Harvester FC.

The team, managed by Craig Abbiss, will now play Ware Academy on 14 March at the Herts FA County Ground in Letchworth.

They started their cup run with an extraordinary 27-0 away win at Harpenden and beat London Maccabi Lions 7-0 and Sawbridgeworth 9-1 before overcoming Hammer Youth 4-3 on penalties in the quarter-finals.

Harvesters beat Hitchin in last year's U14 semi-final on the way to lifting the trophy and are acknowledged as one of the best youth sides around - this was their first defeat for 20 months in any competition. To beat them is a magnificent achievement for the U15s.

On behalf of all at Hitchin Town, congratulations and good luck to the team in next month's final!
