Save the date! Hitchin Town FC have confirmed when football will return to Top Field.

The Canaries have announced Southern Football League will officially restart on Saturday, December 12 - assuming that the second national lockdown finishes on December 2, as planned.

The recent survey carried out by the League saw 59 per cent of clubs - including Hitchin - vote for the second weekend next month, as the restart date.

Club secretary and stalwart Roy Izzard said: "We received news from the league this week that the fixtures will restart on Saturday 12 December.

"Our FA Trophy tie with Mickleover Sports likely to be on Monday, December 7. I have spoken to all the players and they are now geared up to maintain their fitness levels in readiness for the resumption of team training on Thursday 3 December.

"We will be looking to either have another internal game or a friendly at the Arena on Saturday 5 December in preparation for the FA Trophy tie on the following Monday."

For further information, the proposed round dates for the FA Trophy lost by the lockdown are as follows but subject to final ratification by the FA:

First Round: 7/8/9 December or Saturday 5 if both clubs agree

Second Round: 14/15/16 December

Third Round: Saturday December 19
