BIGGLESWADE TOWN 3 v HITCHIN TOWN 7

Yes that' correct Waders 3 put to flight by the canaries who scored Seven. Not a word uttered from the players or coaching staff, administrative staff stared in disbelief unable to comprehend how or why to your near neighbours, each one of your players had a nightmare. Add into the mix the return of favourite Brett Donnelly, a Wader for 5 seasons and Nat Peacock who did a season and a half both having something to prove and between them scored FOUR.

It was a cold winter's night, ideal for a local derby and not too much concern as the Waders fell behind to a Peacock goal on fifteen minutes from a corner, a little bit more concern as Matt Lench beat our man from thirty five yards on sixteen and to unbelievable proportions on twenty when Donnelly scored from an impossible angle high into the roof of the net. All was calm for the next fifteen when Bossman was upended and converted the resulting penalty. More to come as Peacock retrieved the margin as he outran the defence to slide the ball under our man Brown. Sam Ives pulled one back on forty five to set up the second half.

The match announcer got over excited as Allinson made it 3-4 on fifty minutes and a high scoring draw or Wader's win was on the cards until Lench with a vicious shot beat our man at the near post to make 3-5 just two minutes later. The stuffing really had been knocked out of the Waders by that single act. Alasan Ann ventured up field and hit his shot where others had gone, high into the roof of the net and beyond the now despairing Ian Brown. It really was all Hitchin and it was a question of how many. When Peacock netted his third and Hitchin's seventh, it really was a beating and the Green Army deflated and thinking of the embarrassment of telling friends and relations the score.

To the impartial spectators a great game of football, end to end, to the Biggleswade faithful hurt and questions to be answered by a stunned team. Manager Nunn, great at the motivational chat will face his sternest test to date to get the boys on track for Saturday and the visit of Bideford
