Hitchin's game against Old Actonians was postponed due to the weather.
The game is now due to be replayed at Hitchin a week on Saturday (February 2).
This Saturday the Hedgehogs travel to Old Abbotstonians.
The seconds lost 19-0 at Sawston in a league and cup double fixture against the Cambridgeshire club's first team.
The boggy conditions did not suit the fast-flowing game of the Hedgehogs who were hoping to reverse their heavy league defeat at home earlier in the season.
Excellent defending throughout the match restricted the opposition to three tries, the last being scored in the 80th minute.
