Yeltz aim to hit back with win

Halesowen Town general manager Colin Brookes is looking for a swift reaction to the 1-0 derby defeat by Bromsgrove Rovers.

The Yeltz suffered a rare loss at the hands of their neighbours on Boxing Day, but they have the perfect chance to make amends against second bottom Hitchin tomorrow.

They have no new injury worries, although Paul Devlin will be missing for the re-arranged trip due to a prior arrangement.

"It was good local derby," Brookes said. "We conceded a sloppy goal, but we dominated play.

"But you've got to admire Bromsgrove – they defended well and you take your hat off to them.

"We're looking to bounce back. Hitchin have just had a change of manager and will be looking to impress, so we'll need to be at our best to win."
