Hitchin Town’s season has continued to be consistently inconsistent as the Canaries showed strong, winning form across 5 different cup competitions but have stuttered in the League. Great resilience has been shown though, as Mark Burke’s men are now unbeaten in 9 games. The cup runs, in particular in the FA Cup, have galvanised the club….

We’ve recently been passed the following news article, written by two teenage boys in the local area.
