Hitchin 1 Billericay 0 - Match Report

[jl]

Battling Town conceded a sickening 88th minute winner at Top Field last night as Dean Brennan fired in a free kick via the post from the edge of the box.

 

Town made four enforced changes from Saturday's starting XI with Fay, Snowsill, and Gilley replacing the injured John, Henty, and Adedeji and Ansell returning to the attack in place of the Chesham departed Fewings.

 

Both sides went close in a bright opening with Fay tipping an early effort onto the bar and Ansell lofting his effort over the bar when clean through. Town also had a good shout for a penalty turned down when Andy Douglas was flattened by James Ayres.

 

The second half was fairly even possession wise but Town created little in the way of clear-cut chances whilst they had Nick Savidge to thank at the other end for a couple of goal line clearances.

 

Both sides seemed happy to accept the stalemate until Brennan's late winner.
