Colney Heath 2 Hitchin Town 2

Thursday, July 16 2009

Two late goals by Colney Heath deprived an experimental Hitchin side of a victory in their second pre-season game.

Manager Colin Payne fielded a much-changed side from Saturday’s game with Harefield, bringing in, amongst others midfielder Luke Gregson, who demonstrated that he would be a fine acquisition if he was to rejoin the club.

Hitchin raced into a 2-0 lead in the first half, with Charlie Hill shooting home after 21 minutes and Zak Burke finishing from close range 15 minutes later.

Colney Heath netted twice in the last 10 minutes to earn a draw.

Hitchin’s starting line up was: Wilmot, Payne, Grinham, Gilbert, Smith, Valendia, Fontenelle, L.Donnelly, Hill, B.Donnelly, Burke

Other used: Williams, Gregson, Thompson, Brinkman, Pringle, Elliot, Reece
