Stevenage Town v Hitchin Town Arrows

Saturday, February 4 2006

This weeks game saw Hitchin Town  Arrows play Stevenage Town Youth.   A team whom Arrows  had  met in a summer tournament last year.
 
No sooner had the game started, and to our surprise, (and Stevenage Towns !) A long range shot from a Stevenage Town player somehow  landed in the back of our net, so 1-0 it was within a few seconds. But the boys did not let this deter them, and with plenty of time, they proceeded to play an excellent game of passing football and dominated the first half, but despite several shots on target, they could not beat the excellent Stevenage Town goalie.
 
The second half saw much the same, with Goalkeeper Rhys hardly touching the ball. Harry strong in defence clearing anything that came near him, and Sam F, Jack, Matt M, Peter and Arjun passing the ball superbly through to Karl,  But still  we couldn't score! despite hitting both posts.   It seemed like luck was not with us today,until the last few minutes, when all our hard work paid off with an excellent worked goal from Karl to make it 1-1, and a  well deserved equaliser.
 
All credit to the boys for an excellent game of passing football, and never giving up on that equaliser.   Well Done ARROWS !!!

Result :   Stevenage Town 1  Hitchin Town Arrows 1 (Karl)
 
M.O.M  Matthew M
