An extraordinary change in fortune for the Millers as they came back from 2-0 down 44 minutes into the first half to grab all three points with an impressive second half performance and two goals from Reggie Hubbard on his first senior start of the season.

Straight from the start Histon showed their intentions and in the first minute Dan Brown put in a teasing cross that was headed away by Harry Gibbs.

Five minutes later a ball is worked through to Reggie Hubbard but it sticks between his feet and the danger is cleared. The ball comes straight back from a nice interchange between Shad Ngandu and James Love but the final ball is again cleared by the Histon defence.

A minute later and Histon swing a ball in at the other end that is headed away by Harry Gibbs but the ball falls to Danny Gould who smashes it pass David Hughes to put the visitors from Cambridgeshire one up. Aveley FC 0-1 Histon.

Five minutes later and Aveley’s misery is doubled when a Histon corner is turned into his own net by Jason Raad as he attempts to clear on the goal line Aveley FC 0-2 Histon.

With 33 mins on the clock Shad Ngandu whips a ball into the Histon area which hits the outstretched arm of a defender but again the referee ignores the claims for a penalty.

4 minutes into injury time and a Jason Raad corner is headed into the Histon goal to give the Millers some hope just before half time. Aveley FC 1-2 Histon.

Final action of the first half sees a free kick floated into the Aveley box which David Hughes comes for but doesn’t collect. The loose ball is struck goalwards but hits a Histon player before being cleared away.

Half Time | Aveley 1-2 Histon.

A scrappy half from the Millers sees them go into the interval 2-1 down although Harry Gibbs goal on the stroke of half time will give the team some hope for the second half.

Shad Ngandu breaks down the right and his cross is bundled into the Histon goal by Reggie Hubbard to bring parity to the scoreline. Aveley 2-2 Histon.

Shad headed into the path of Reggie Hubbard but the Histon keeper, Sam Rolph, is first to the ball and stopped us from taking the lead.

Wyan Reid and James Love combined well down the right and the cross is converted by Reggie Hubbard but the goal is chalked off for offside.

With under thirty minutes to play the Millers go in front for the first time in the match as Wyan Reid’s cross is headed into the Histon net by Reggie Hubbard to secure his brace on his first full senior start for the football club. Aveley 3-2 Histon.

A delightful ball in to Jason Raad from Shad Ngandu saw the shot fly wide of the post. Fifteen minutes to go and brilliant skill by Shad Ngandu on the left leaves his marker for dead but his ambitious chip clears the keeper and also the crossbar

Kane Hearn plays a nice Crossfield pass to Wyan but his shot is blocked and cleared. Next it’s time for James Love to have a go but his shot is turned behind for a corner by Rolph. A one-two between Kane and Shad gets Kane in but once again the Histon keeper keeps his side in it with a save.
