STUTES STRIKE REPLAY GOULD TO ADVANCE
HISTON eased their way into the FA Vase second round with goals from Danny Gould and Dan Brown helping them to a replay victory over Colney Heath.
It’s been ten years since village side Histon were making FA Cup headlines as they famously beat Swindon Town and Leeds United to reach the third round proper where they took on Swansea City.
Back then the Cam- bridgeshire outfit had risen up the Pyramid and were knocking on the Football League’s door. They’ve fallen on tougher times since and slipped back down to Step 5.
But boss Lance Key’s side lead the Thurlow Nunn Premier Division table and will now host Woodbridge Town in the next round of the Vase.
They’re joined by Northern League side Ashington, who romped past Nelson in their midweek replay – Gerard Richardson scoring twice in a 5-0 win. North West Counties League highflyers Runcorn Town needed extra-time to see off Guisborough Town. After the replay finished 2-2 at 90 minutes, Shaun Weaver and Stu McDonald were on the scoresheet in either half of extra-time to see them over the line 4-2.
Dimi Dunkley hit a double as Romulus beat Wellington 3-1 at the second attempt, while FC Clacton won 3-2 against Buckingham Athletic and Saffron Dynamo won by the same scoreline at Bottesford Town.
