Own goal enough as Bedford Town rise into play-off spots with Hednesford win

Bedford Town secured a 1-0 victory over Hednesford Town at The Eyrie on 27 October, thanks to an own goal by Hednesford captain George Williams in the 31st minute. This win elevated Bedford Town to seventh place in the National League North, placing them in the final play-off spot after 13 games. The result followed a strong response from Bedford Town after an FA Cup exit, marking their second consecutive league win.

Despite Hednesford's dominance in the second half and several scoring opportunities, Bedford Town's resilient defence maintained their lead. The match featured a notable moment when Bedford left back Sonnie Davis, son of Hednesford manager Kelvin Davis, assisted the own goal. Bedford Town will next face promotion contenders Macclesfield at home on 31 October.
