​Aylesbury United’s cup form deserted them again at the weekend as they were knocked out of the FA Trophy at Wroxham.

​Despite being top of the SPL Division One Central and so far unbeaten in the league, the Ducks fell at the first hurdle in the FA Cup at Thame and fell to a similar fate at Wroxham, although it needed a penalty shoot-out to decide the winners in Norfolk.

The game saw few clear chances for each side, Jack Wood among those to go close for Aylesbury with a header over the top from a corner.

Ben Stallard and Kamil Zielinski then missed penalties in the shootout, and although Jack Hopwood saved one of Wroxham’s efforts, the hosts won 4-3 on spot kicks to progress.

Attention now turns back to the league for Aylesbury United as they host Hertford Town on Saturday, their opponents without a win so far having drawn two and lost three of their five games in the league.
