"So this weekend took us to Top Field – home of Hitchin Town to play Baldock Town FC who ground share with the Southern League side, in the Quarter Final of the Hertfordshire FA Senior Centenary Trophy.
The away dressing room was small, wooden and very old school. It wasn’t my first visit to Top Field though so I knew what to expect but the showers, normally cold or not working at step 5/6 in non-league football were decent. A far cry from the result, we lost 4-1, which now leaves us with the League Cup and promotion – we are still unbeaten 15 wins and a draw - and neither have been achieved for over three decades.
Elsewhere in the South Midlands league, Edgware Town have had a change in management and have made a plethora of new signings in the past few weeks. Results are starting to come in for the side that were slowly plummeting to the bottom of the league. They are now on a run of form and playing on a new 3G pitch and I’ll be expecting them to continue that into the new year! Lets hope they take points of our promotion rivals.
Midweek sees some big fixtures; we have our first of two derby games in the space of 11 days: Wednesday night, we host Codicote at Herns Lane, 7.45pm before local rivals and fellow promotion candidates Hatfield arrive 10 days later. Elsewhere, on Saturday, AFC Dunstable host Berkhamsted in the SSML Premier, both teams are in the top six and four points separate the two teams."
