First-time clash at the Corinium

Friday, January 28 2005

Hitchin travel to one of the form sides in the Southern League, Cirencester Town, in the first ever meeting between the two clubs.

Team News: Darran Hay left the club in midweek for Kings Lynn, but Josh Sozzo is set to return. Iuean Lewis, who made such a strong impression against Kings Lynn, is poised to partner Sozzo up front. Richard Wilmot has a slight knock, but is expected to recover in time to play.

Current form: Cirencester were unbeaten in seven league games before losing in midweek to Bath City. They drew 2-2 at Histon last Saturday. Hitchin's 3-0 win against Kings Lynn completed the first "double" of the season and was arguably the Canaries' best home performance of the campaign.

Last six games: Cirencester L, D, W, D, W, W Hitchin W, L, W, L, W, L

Comment: "It's a shame to see Darran Hay go, but we have to move on and look at how we can replace him," said Assistant Manager Ken Gillard. "Young Iuean did well last week and we have Sozzo coming back, so it will be interesting to see how they link up."
