Town Chairman Ted Collie has dismissed rumours that Assistant Manager Andy Prutton is set to leave the club. On the Welwyn Hatfield Times's - Hatfield Town FC fans' forum, one member posted a message saying that Prutton had been having meetings "about the Manager's post" at nearby Knebworth. Another posting stated that it will be either "Knebworth, Cheshunt Reserves or Wormley" that the former Hertford Town boss will head to. Collie was quick to dismiss any thought of Prutton leaving the club. He said: "It's absolute rubbish in all honesty. There is no truth in it whatsoever. "In fact, I would bet that the only time Andy has been to Knebworth is as part of the match-day team for Hatfield. "I think it's all a bit of a wind up, and when I spoke to Andy he said he had heard nothing about it at all." Prutton was part of the successful management team, along with boss Trevor Lloyd that secured Hatfield Town promotion from the Herts Senior County League Premier Division into the Molten Spartan South Midlands League as Champions. Collie is adamant that Prutton's focus has already turned to the coming season. "The last I heard from Andy, he was saying how much he is looking forward to next season, and was already planning for the start in the new league," added the Hatfield Town Chairman. "So I think the rumours are totally false, and Andy is perfectly settled at Hatfield." |

Hatfield Town finally secured promotion to the Spartan South Midlands League with a resounding win at Bushey Rangers. Hertford Heath, the only team capable of depriving Hatfield of a top two finish, slumped to a second defeat within a week, killing off any chance they had. Regardless as to whether Metropolitan Police Bushey win the title or not, they cannot be promoted as their ground does not meet the specified criteria. With only one team being promoted from a top two finish, Town were ecstatic at being the club to progress up the pyramid.
