Saturday's Central Division action review

However, pride of place has to go to Histon, who won for the first time this season at the fourteenth attempt – and did it in style too!

The Stutes travelled to Sharpenhoe Road to face a Barton Rovers side who were looking to move into the top five had they won.

Ben Yeomans gave the bottom-markers an early fifth minute lead that Steve Gentle cancelled out eight minutes later. And when Alex O`Brien restored Rovers` lead in the 15th minute, most in the ground sat back waiting for Histon to fold.

But the turning point came on 72 minutes when Gentle was sent-off for deliberate handball. Yeomans converted the resulting penalty and the Stutes went on to score four more with Matt Allan bagging a brace on 73 and 78 minutes and Yeomans adding two more in stoppage time to take his personal tally to four.

Royston found themselves 2-0 up inside eight minutes at Chalfont, thanks to Scott Bridges and Danny May.

John Frendo then made it virtually game over with the Crows` third eight minutes into the second half and Ryan Ingrey added a fourth with seven minutes remaining.

Second-placed Farnborough earned a late Cherrywood Road win over Northwood.

Perry Coles gave Boro a 22nd minute lead that Myles Stephenson eventually cancelled out with 16 minutes left. Sam Shaban popped up with Boro`s winner in the 83rd minute.

Newcomers AFC Kempston Rovers show no sign of blowing up and remain third after a 3-0 win at now bottom side Petersfield Town.

Danny Watson proved the Walnut Boys` hero at Love Lane with a hat-trick in the second and fourth minutes – but had to wait until the last minute to complete his triple.

Marlow are fourth after a Jay Welch goal on the hour-mark earned them a 1-0 home win over Aylesbury FC, who had Ben Stevens sent-off a minute from time.

AFC Dunstable complete the top five after they beat Fleet Town and Ashford Town (Middx) lost 3-2 at Potters Bar Town.

Newman Carney gave the home side a 16th minute lead and Dunstable doubled their lead through Bernie Christie 11 minutes later – a lead they held.

Potters Bar led 2-0 with goals from Ashley Nathaniel-George and Danny Hart at half-time.

But the Tangerines battled back to level through a Jack Beadle brace in the 55th and 62nd minutes. Potters Bar then won it 10 minutes from time, thanks to a Garry Jones penalty, to climb into eighth spot – just two points off the top five.

Kidlington earned a good 2-0 win at the New Eyrie against a Bedford Town side who just can`t seem to get going in front of their own fans.

The newcomers won it with goals from Lewis Coyle on 74 minutes and a Hammed Lawal own goal five minutes into time added on.

Aylesbury United are another side struggling at home, despite starting the game against Hanwell Town in contention for a top five spot.

But the visitors ran out comfortable 3-0 winners with goals from Tyler Christian-Law after 10 minutes, Mark Jamison seven minutes into the second half and then Zak Joseph just a minute later.

Third-bottom Beaconsfield SYCOB earned only their second win of the campaign to date, winning 3-1 at Honeycroft against the team immediately above them, Uxbridge.

All the goals came in the opening 20 minutes, with Charlie Losasso bagging a brace for the visitors, sandwiched by a Ryan Hill effort and Wayne Carter netting for the Reds.

Arlesey Town and Egham Town shared a 1-1 draw in the day`s other game in which Bajram Pashaj gave the Sarnies a 20th minute lead that the hosts cancelled out right on half-time through Arel Amu.
