Hitchin Town U18 v Dunstable Town Blues U18

Wednesday, September 5 2007

Hitchin got their Southern Counties Floodlit League campaign off to a winning start with a battling performance against a strong Dunstable side at Top Field.

The midweek team is made up of the Sunday U 17 squad and the lads will more often than not be playing against teams fielding players a year older so this was a very encouraging start.

A goal-less first-half saw Dunstable having most of the play, although both sides created chances with strike duo Junior and Charlie having efforts blocked on the line.

The visitors broke the deadlock on the hour with a thunderous
free kick from the edge of the box.

The Hitchin reaction was impressive and immediate with Ashley coolly slotting home the equaliser. With ten minutes left a run past two defenders by Junior saw him square the ball across the six-yard box for Tom J to blast home the winner.

TEAM: ROWLAND, JAMES, GRAY, ELLIS, MULLINGS (SCANLON), KNIGHT (MOULTON),WINN (TRITSCHLER), GOLDSMITH, FITTON, MORRISON, SPARKS.
SUBS NOT USED: CARTER, RANSON.
