Steve Jackman scored twice as Histon cruised into the FA Cup second round. Jackman fired home after his initial header was saved by Richard Brush and it was 2-0 when a teasing Liam Gutzmore cross was headed in by Ian Cambridge.
Jackman rose above a crowd of players to head in his second before Andy Bell's penalty was saved by Lance Key.
Histon completed the rout when Robbie Nightingale fired home from six yards after a long throw by Neil Andrews split the Pitmen's defence.
