SOUTHERN COUNTIES FLOODLIT YOUTH LEAGUE
This win was all about spirit and determination and the team should be proud of their efforts in securing a valuable 3 points against the team who ended our unbeaten midweek record back in November.
Second best in the first half, Hitchin trailed 1-0 at the break. All three subs were used at half-time and the performance was much improved. A goal from Ryan Ellis brought the team level midway through the second-half. Centre back Ryan is becoming a prolific scorer and this was the fourth consecutive game in which he has found the net.
When a ball was cleared from the visitors' box 10 minutes later a fantastic 35 yard drive from Callum Winn secured the victory.
The final ten minutes saw the lads' recent hectic Sunday/Wednesday schedule catch up with them, but they held on bravely.
Result: Hitchin Town 2 Bury Town 1
TEAM: ROWLAND, TRITSCHLER, GRAY, ELLIS, MULLINGS, KNIGHT, MOULTON, JAMES, SCANLON, SPARKS, MORRISON.
