Match Report

Curtis Fulcher first half strike and an own goal after half-time completed a two-goal defeat for The Poppies Development against table-toppers Histon.

The goals handed Histon all three points as Kettering Town Development suffered their first defeat of the 2015/16 United Counties League U-21's Division campaign.

The Poppies held on throughout the opening 20 minutes, despite their control of possession, but Fulcher handed the visitors the lead after the referee gave a harsh penalty against Jim Freeman's men. The striker saw his spot-kick saved by Matthew Kirby but tucked home the rebounded from close range.

Brandon Smith added an unfortunate own goal after 53 minutes to complete the scoring for the new league leaders, who have now won four from four in the league.
