The Millers are through to the Third Qualifying Round of the Buildbase UK FA Trophy after a hard-fought game which went all the ways to penalties as Aveley won 8-7 on penalties.

In the second game running, we had to change player due to Manny Ogunrinde pulling up in the warm-up, which meant we had two substitutes, both centre-halves on the bench.

The game itself wasn't full of chances as both teams cancelled each other out, very much like Tuesday Night's Emirates FA Cup game, a game of very few chances with both keepers not particularly in the action, until the penalty shootout.

Ten minutes into the game and we had the first half-chance of the game, Bradley Sach was fouled, Freddie Gard stepped up to put the ball into the box, but it was dealt with well by Hanwell's keeper Hugo Sobte.

The first effort of the game come on the 20th minute as George Sykes beat the right-back and fired his effort near post, which was well saved by Hugo Sobte.

Five minutes after that Sykes effort we had back to back corners which ended in Alex Clark just firing his stinging drive over the crossbar.

The hosts had one chance in the first half which saw a long-range free-kick from left-back Joel Jacobs go over the crossbar, although David Hughes saw it all the way and had it covered.

Half Time | Hanwell Town 0-0 Aveley.

The second half was a little bit more entertaining for the neutral, an Aveley corner came into Alex Clark, he aimed goalwards but its eventually blocked and scrambled away by Dwayne Duncan and Andy O'Brien.

On the 61st minute, David Hughes was called into action, he finger-tipped a rasping Ogo Obi effort over the crossbar, the following corner was headed clear by Steve Sheehan.

We didn't have to wait long for the opener, a free-kick from Alex Clark was misjudged by the hosts' keeper, George Sykes made the run into the back post and squeezed in the ball from a tight angle to put The Millers into the lead. Hanwell Town 0-1 Aveley.

Our lead didn't last long, a long ball was headed back towards goal by Steve Sheehan, the pacey Ogo Obi stole the ball, rounded David Hughes and tapped into the empty net. Hanwell Town 1-1 Aveley.

In the last twenty minutes, it was a midfield battle with neither team making any clear cut or half chances as the game looked destined for a penalty shoot-out.

Full Time | Hanwell Town 1-1 Aveley.
