After an impressive and dominant first half, where they had taken a deserved lead, hit the woodwork and, really ought to have seen the game out for their second win of the season, Hitchin failed to maintain their superiority, conceded a daft equaliser and ended up hanging on for a point, despite facing ten men…
2019-20
In a thoroughly entertaining and open game at Top Field, the two teams shared the points in front of Hitchin’s best home attendance of the season so far. The Canaries may not have won, but with skipper Dan Webb heading the equaliser in stoppage time, it almost felt like a victory. It was certainly a…
The Canaries went down 2-3 against National League South high-flyers Hemel Hempstead Town in this evening’s friendly match at Vauxhall Road. The home side raced into a 0-2 lead at the break, after ex-Luton striker Alex Wall grabbed the opener. Joe Gauge made it 1-2 just after the break, before Hemel restored their two-goal lead….

Diamonds may be a girl’s best friend, but this collection of jewels was potentially off the Christmas card list of Hitchin Town supporters, since the Northamptonshire side had snatched a deserved lead and looked like inflicting a third successive home defeat on the Canaries. That would have been too much to bear, and then a…
