Hinckley AFC secured a 2-2 draw in an away United Counties League Premier Division South fixture against Histon FC on 7 February 2026. The match was played at Bridge Road, Impington (Histon FC’s home ground) in Cambridgeshire, and helped the Hinckley, Leicestershire club maintain its competitive standing in the division.
Goals from Hinckley forward Brady Middleton and midfielder/defender Andrew Wooldridge earned the visitors a point. Middleton has been a regular scoring threat for the club since the 2023/24 season, while Wooldridge’s strike put Hinckley into a leading position against a historically higher-tier opponent, Histon.
The match included a late temporary dismissal (a “sin-bin”) in which Hinckley played with one fewer player for 10 minutes after a player was sent off for dissent. The temporary dismissal is part of The FA’s guidelines for Step 5 and below, intended to curb dissent and encourage better on-field behaviour; despite the late pressure Hinckley held on to secure the draw.
According to the Football Club History Database and the club’s official site, Hinckley AFC was formed in January 2014 as a community-owned club established by supporters after the liquidation of Hinckley United. The club has progressed up the pyramid in recent seasons and continues to adapt to life in the Premier Division South. Local supporters can find fixtures and club news on the official Hinckley AFC website.
