With what could be defined as one of the best results in our recent history the Millers hit five past Histon to progress to the FA Cup Second Qualifying Round.

It was the hosts that had the best of the early exchanges, striker Sam Ives squeezed his shot just wide of the target. Ex-Southend defender, now moved to midfield, Ryan Auger seemed to pull the strings early on with long range passes out wide which put the Millers straight onto the back foot.

The turning point of the match came as Evan Key header was cleared off the line from captain Billy Holland. The Millers countered from it, David Fallah flicked the ball out wide to Liam Nash who crossed into the box which was then met by James Peagram in the middle who headed brilliantly into the top corner of the net. Histon 0-1 Aveley FC.

Aveley soon after should've doubled their lead, again great build-up play from the Millers led to the ball falling to David Fallah, but his shot went wide of the target.

On 37 minutes the Millers made it 2-0. A defensive mix-up between Gerrar and his centre-back allowed James Peagram to sneak in between them and chipped the keeper to perfection of his line. Histon 0-2 Aveley.

Histon cranked it up towards the end of the half but James Marrable saved well from Fulcher and really the hosts didn't threaten until the second half.

The hosts came out fired up and had a goal disallowed in seconds. Sam Ives smacked into James Marrable and the referee awarded the Millers a let off.

Only a minute later Histon finally got their goal. A shot was saved by James Marrable at his near post, Sam Ives reacted the quickest and tapped in from close range. Histon 1-2 Aveley.

The Millers responded by making a substitution, Ahmed Deen was the man to come off and be replaced by the man-mountain Brian Okwera for his first match back from injury this campaign. He brought that calmness and different kind of quality in centre midfield.

Histon controlled the game for a few minutes but didn't create anything part from a poor shot from Tom McGowan, straight down the throat of James Marrable.

With 30 minutes remaining, Histon were reduced to ten men. The tackle from Evan Key looked rather innocuous, but it became clear as he confirmed he used foul language to describe the referee which he directed towards the man in charge, and he didn't hesitate to give Key his marching orders.

As the time ticked to twenty minutes remaining, the Millers cranked the heat up. Abs Seymour and David Fallah linked well, Seymour cracked the bar, the ball landed awkwardly to Liam Nash and his header looped onto the roof of the net.

It didn't take long for the Millers to get their deserved third goal. Captain Billy Holland was cool, calm and collected on the edge of the area, he took it down onto his left foot and placed the ball into the bottom corner. Histon 1-3 Aveley.

Few changes again for the Millers with Tuesday's match in the back of minds, against Thurrock in the Ryman League Cup. Marcus Elliott and new signing Dee Okojie replaced Liam Nash and James Peagram

With Dee's first touch he could've scored, the ball was smashed across the goal but it just was too quick for Okojie to set himself to put the ball into the back of the net. With his next touch he was awarded a yellow card by the referee after handbags with McGowan.

With ten minutes remaining the Millers were in cruise control, fantastic footwork from David Fallah nutmegged Histon's centre midfielder, Fallah was then taken down for embarrassing the player and was awarded a free-kick 30 yards out. Lee Prescott was over it and fired the free-kick along the floor, the wall jumped over the ball and somehow it found its way into the bottom right hand corner. Histon 1-4 Aveley.

There was one final goal in this match as Marcus Elliott brushed aside his marker and squeezed in his shot through Gerrar and into the bottom corner. Histon 1-5 Aveley.

An amazing performance from the Millers, which puts them into the next round of the FA Cup.
