Tann joined Histon from local rivals Cambridge United

Adam Tann hit his first goal for Histon as they hung on to beat play-off hopefuls Kettering.

Tann had a shot blocked and Bradley Hudson-Odoi saw the rebound superbly saved by keeper Lee Harper as the home side shaded the first 45 minutes.

But it took almost an hour for the Stutes to break the deadlock, Michael Frew crossing from the right for Tann to slam home from six yards.

The visitors dominated late on, Simon Heslop and Anthony Elding firing wide.

Elding had earlier also had a shot tipped round the post by home keeper Danny Naisbitt.

But Histon withstood Kettering's late rally to stretch their unbeaten league run to five matches.
