Hayes and Yeading edged closer to safety after a win against fellow strugglers Histon.

Lee Smith nearly put the visitors ahead but saw his header superbly tipped round the post by Lee Harrison.

Hayes did take the lead when Peter Holmes struck a powerful effort from just outside the area.

Antonio Murray saw a goal-bound strike blocked by Nathan Webb and Lanre Oyebanjo fired over the bar as the home side failed to find an equaliser.

Hayes and Yeading are level on points with Barrow, and only goal difference keeps them in the relegation zone.
