The dust has just settled on the 2018/19 season and the question is was it a good one or a bad one for Hitchin Town. It was such a roller coaster of a season with both highs and lows that I am sure supporters will be divided as to how they will judge it. I…

Spring sprung early as Hitchin played host to Rushall Olympic at a bright and mild Top Field. Blossom was on the trees and the form of this Hitchin side was also in bloom of late. Manager Mark Burke again opted for a rather progressive 4-3-1-2 system with Morgan Penfold and Harry Draper in a two-pronged…

Hitchin Town’s season has risen like the resurrection! With three straight wins against high-flying opponents the Canaries have banished the demoralising seven straight losses to the back of their minds as they look to build towards a mid-table finish. This exceptional turn of fortune began with a superb and wholly unexpected victory at home to…

After four consecutive wins towards the end of 2018, Hitchin Town entered a challenging run of fixtures against strong opponents with their tails up. Yet, one by one, Hitchin were defeated in a tough period against ruthless opponents who put the Canaries to the sword. The away clash at Kettering Town presented Hitchin with a…

Here is the latest instalment of Nick Kelsall’s wonderful View from the Terraces, written prior to Wednesday’s win over St Ives Town.

But the players picked themselves up with an excellent draw against high-flying Leiston to give supporters hope that they can avoid the dreaded threat…

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. Both Patrick Sloan (of North Herts FM commentary team fame) and Louis Condon are season ticket holders at Top Field and chose to write the following piece for their school (Hitchin Boys’ School) newspaper.  It’s a great read,…

After the chastening 8-1 defeat at Needham Market and some other poor results, in recent weeks Hitchin Town have begun to show some green (and yellow) shoots of recovery.
