Thame United are back in the Pitching In Southern League Central Division One action this Saturday when they travel to Hertfordshire to face Hertford Town. Last season Hertford did the double over Thame with a 5 - 1 home win then 1 -0 away. Earlier in the season Thame secured a 4 - 0 victory at the ASM Stadium with goals from Curtis Brown, Tom McElroy, Dan West and Jefferson Louis. This season the two teams have been on to different trajectories, with the midweek win at Kidlington for Thame consolidating sixth place in the league only 3 points behind fourth and fifth place with a game in hand. Meanwhile Hertford had a slow start to the season but have now picked up and are un beaten in their last eight matches, winning their last two matches against Aylesbury and North Leigh and are one of the form teams in the league. This will be a closer game than the league table would suggest, with home advantage on the 3G pitch. Kick off at Hertingfordbury Park, is 3pm.
