Millers were forced into a few changes after injuries and suspension to; Nick Skelton, Jeremiah Maja and Tommy Spillane. This meant the Millers had a makeshift centre half pairing and handed a debut to striker Mason Bloomfield.

Soham had the first couple of long ranged efforts to test our captain Lamar Johnson who dealt with both of the long strikes with ease despite the wet conditions.

Dan Odamo was superb at the back with nothing getting past him all match, Robbie Mason almost had a chance but Dan's interception denied the hosts the chance to take the lead.

After terrific defending from the relentless Adalberto Pinto the hosts had a corner kick of which Joe Tennant should've done better with as he headed wide from close range.

Or first main chance of the game came as Michael Toner found Jordan Peart in the box but he was denied the opener after a last ditch block by right back Lewis Endacott.

Debutante Mason Bloomfield put in a really impressive display as he blasted past three Soham player but just couldn't get enough direction behind his effort which went wide of the keepers left hand post.

Michael Toner was next to try his luck but his left footed strike dragged away from goal and trickled wide.

Harry Gibbs was next to impress as his fantastic block from five yards out denied Soham a nailed on goal.

We almost broke the deadlock through an own goal. Again Mason Bloomfield drove through Soham again but a defender just took the ball away from him in the box and diverted past the keeper and an inch past of the post.

Half Time | Soham Town Rangers 0-0 Aveley.

We started the half well, from a Soham attack we countered with pace as Mason Bloomfield went forward, he played in Tony Jacobs who fired towards goal, but was brilliantly denied by the finger tips of the Soham keeper who put it onto the post and out for a corner which came to nothing.

Tony Jacobs was in thick of the action again as his cross was cleared out to the edge of the area to Michael Toner whose effort fizzed past the post.

Thirteen minutes into the second half we managed to get our just deserves as a superb run and cross from Jordan Peart set up Mason Bloomfield who instinctively buried into the bottom left hand corner to put us ahead! Soham Town Rangers 0-1 Aveley.

For the rest of the game the Millers played on the back foot but defended resolutely and never really looked like conceding. Set-pieces were the main threats from the hosts and had server all opportunities with good deliveries into the box, but all defended well.

Lamar Johnson made a couple of smart saves, first pushing away a low and hard free-kick which bounced right in front of him. The second a cross was right down his throat but he needed to hold the ball well to deny the hosts a chance.

Both Lamar Johnson and Adalberto Pinto picked up yellow cards late on. Pinto was a little late on Soham's captain and Lamar Johnson was adjudged to be wasting time, although he was waiting for a substitution to be made.

Both Billy Coyne and Michael Toner came inches within sealing the match with free-kick attempts. Coyney zipped an effort just inches over the crossbar, and with the second ticking away Michael Toner saw his free-kick almost catch the hosts keeper out as it clipped the crossbar.

The Millers really should've wrapped all three points up late on in added on time. Daniel McCullock set up Jack Edwards who fired over with a side footed effort from the edge of the area. Moments later Jordan Peart wriggled and fired towards goal but the keeper made a good save to keep it at 1-0.

This 1-0 victory was our first away from home against Soham Town Rangers, a real team effort helped the Millers to remain fourth level on points with third and second.
