Well the 26th of april, The end of another season and our visitors to end the season Histon. Our guests had made the play-offs and we had finished 9th so it was a nothing game.
For the last time of the season the teams come out, The Crawley team come out to a small display by the CrawleyDevils with a banner "Thank You For A Super Season".
As the first half goes on, Somehow Crawley manage to get worse. Midway through the first half we find ourselves 2-0 down. Soon after comical defending as Crawley players trip over themselves and let Histon straight through the middle to make the game 3-0. Leaving alot of Crawley fans disgusted at the team, Half time it was Crawley 0-3 Histon.
Second half, and the team look like they actually want it and they play the better football. Then Jamie Cook breaks through into the box, The Histon keeper Naisbitt comes to meet him Cook goes round him and is then brought down. PENALTY and a red card for Histon Goalkeeper Naisbitt. Jamie Cook steps up, and its in, the comeback is on 1-3.
Crawley continue to push and a conversation behind the goal leads to someone beside me deciding we should get rid of Micheal Malcolm as he is not good enough, As he says that Malcolm leaps abover the last defender and buries his header into the bottom right corner of the goal. Great finish, Maybe he will be wanted to stay afterall !
A new belief is round the ground and the atmosphere builds up and a great support for the team is heard.
Then with around 10 minutes to go there is a scramble in the box, Jon Shaw makes it to the ball first and its poked into the back of the net. Crawley have done it they have pulled it back from 3-0 down at half time to 3-3 and they are not done.
Crawley continue to push Histon to get the winner but its not to be, and at the end of a fantastic second half crawley have pulled it back much to the delight of the Crawley fans.
A big thank you to the Crawley players who have given the fans many ups and downs, And for coming over to shake hands of the fans who continued to sing after the final whistle.
Final score - Crawley Town 3-3 Histon
