Dunstable Town 0 Harpenden Town 1

Charles Worbey: The Link Man

A player for Hitchin and Hertfordshire in Edwardian times, and a committee man in the 1928 revival. I'll add further details of this important figure in Club history if anyone is interested.

Leonard Stokes Hart: Chairman

By the time we celebrate the centenary of the Hitchin Town Football Club in 2028, perhaps Mr Leonard Stokes Hart, the Club's first chairman could be considered for adding to our Hall of Fame?

Re: LGBTQ+ Supporters club Commitee members wanted
