Hitchin Town currently lie just outside the play-offs in 9th spot, 11 places and 9 points above Biddy. The Canaries come to North Devon having won just once in their last 4 league games, and were on a 5 match straight losing run in all games until their win on Monday evening at second from bottom Banbury United. Until that run of defeats, Hitchin were within the play-off places and had been there for several weeks.

This is the return fixture even though its still only October, as Biddy travelled to Hertfordshire in August for their 3rd game of the season, where they were unlucky to come away pointless after a 3-2 defeat. Biddy's goals were courtesy of Sean Downing and Nick Milton.
