On a bright and crisp morning Hitchin town travelled to St Nicholas in Stevenage to take on one of the stronger teams in the league, Bedwelll Rangers..Hitchin travelled with a depleted squad, due to sickness, and no goalkeeper. So all the boys had a tough game ahead with no subs to call on.
So with Sam W starting in goal for the first time !! ( Well done Sam) , Hitchin Arrows began the game very strongly. Passing the ball like last week, Sam F, Peter, Jack and Harry worked tirelessly in midfield , but with Bedwell Rangers closing us down, It was hard for us to break through. Unfortunately before half time we went 1-0 down.
Arrows came out strong again in the second half, and were trying very hard for the equalizer, Karl and William were doing a great job in defence, stopping the waves of attacks from Bedwell, but due to a great strike from a Bedwell player, we went 2-0 down. So there it ended, a great display of football boys, and very brave goalkeeping from Sam W, who ended the match with a bleeding nose !!!!.
Final Score: Bedwell Rangers 2 Hitchin Town Arrows 0
