Thame United vs Hitchin Match Preview 18 October

Martin Pacetti17 Oct - 07:58

We are back at the ASM this weekend as we Welcome Hitchin Town to the ASM Stadium

This Saturday’s fixture is the first time, we have met Hitchin Town or the Canaries as they are referred to in a competitive fixture in recent years. After spending thirteen seasons in the Southern League Premier Central they lost their place and started this season in Central Division One.

The Canaries have made a steady start to life in the Southern League Central Division, and after nine games sit in sixth place just outside the play off spots on seventeen points with five wins, two draws and two defeats and have one of the tightest defences in the league conceding just eight goals this season in the league. Last time out the played out they played out a 1 - 1 draw away at third placed Biggleswade FC. Having beaten Welwyn Garden City 2 - 1 at home at the weekend.

Our midweek victory against Barton saw us move up the table into eleventh place with a game in hand on the three teams above us. It was a great performance on the road against a good Barton Rovers side who were unbeaten at home this season. It also means we are now five games unbeaten and now third in the overall Division One form guide. Its also good news that our goals are being shared about with nine different goal scorers this season , with Jack Tutton opening his account on Tuesday, Lance Williams scoring for the second game running and Dan West scoring three goals in three games. The four goals we scored on Tuesday now moves us up to fifth spot on goals scored so this clash will be one with one of the best defences against one of the best attacks.

Kick off at The ASM Stadium is 15:00
