A number of ADL sides have booked their spots in cup finals this week.

What a day for football, some high scoring games, a huge comeback and sides into the Finals: one of those the biggest on offer for Aylesbury's sides.

That's where we have to start as the ADL has another side in a County Cup Final as Stoke Mandeville Reserves beat Oakley Utd 0-1 in the David Grainge Trophy thanks to Archie White's 15th minute winner.

Their opponents will be Mortimer Reserves on 15th April as they ended another ADL sides dreams beating Aylesbury Penguins 4-0. Could it be third time lucky for an ADL side?

In the Thomas Field Shield Oving rescued a 4-1 deficit to Hemel Rovers to win 7-4 after extra time and reach their second final of the season. With 20 minutes left they began their comeback and an 85th minute Matthew Jones goal took the game to extra time, three further goals were scored in extra time. Their opponents will be Wendover or Stoke Mandeville who play this weekend coming

In the Oving Village Cup Wendover went out on penalties to Stewkley who reached their third consecutive final. A crazy 5-5 draw taking the game to spot kicks.

In the League Cup AVTT reached the Semi Finals beating Thame B 4-3. Despite Thame controlling the early proceedings AVTT scored 2 quick goals through Anees Khan and Nashar Khan. Thame then scored in the 30th minute through Lawrence Foster got a goal back after 30 minutes straight after missing a sitter. It was soon 2-2, when Greg Spruce netting just before half time. Sub Mohammed Ibbrar then scored twice. A decent free kick found the bottom corner to restore AVTT's lead and that soon became 4-2 after a long ball forward. Luke Hurley got Thame B back in the game as they forced some decent saves from the AVTT keeper, but AVTT clung on for the win. They will face the winners of Stoke Mandeville or Great Missenden after Aylesbury Hearts forfeited their tie.

Back in League Action and the Premier Division has new leaders as Great Missenden saw off Elmhurst 5-1. Max Charter and Adrian Smith with a brace each and a Graham Stevenson goal. They now need to win their last game whilst Hemel Rovers play catch up.

In Division One Rivets Sports won by default over Haddenham Utd to extend their lead. Wingrave are still in the hunt and squeezed past AWFC Reserves 5-4, two late goals making the score line closer. Aaron Wilkinson with a hat-trick for AW. George Kus (2) Georgio Magnocavallo, Harry Fellingham and subs Lee Broomhead and Jacob Gayler for Wingrave. Aylesbury Hornets also need to play catch up. A 7-1 away win at AVD Warriors keeping slim outside hopes especially as they have to play all the teams above them as well. Vasilica Cristinel Ilie & Lewis Ross with braces each.

In Division Two leaders Steeple & Ludgershall coast closer to the title with a 3-0 win at Wendover Colts. Jordan Gill with all three goals. Their rivals continue to fall away in the meantime, AFC Chesham took an 84th minute lead at Wingrave Reserves before an 87th minute own goal made it 1-1 and Lewis Henley netted a 90th minute winner leaving Chesham hanging onto 2nd place. Quainton are also in the same boat as they were beaten again, this time by old friends Aylesbury Royals 3-1. Ryan Budd put the home side 1-0 up the break before former player Adam Perna equalised. Liam Bradbury & Haydyn Playford then made it 3-1. Royals are now right back in the chase for second place with games in hand. Aylebury Hornets are also in mix after another win, 3-1 away at Hemel's Rovers Reserves. El Mokhtar Jellal, Marius Gabriel Negru and Scott Johnson scoring.

At the bottom in the mini league Aylesbury Penguins Reserves and AVTT Reserves drew 7-7 (seven) after the reverse fixture was 6-5. Penguins led 4-2 and 5-3 before AVTT went 5-6 head with ten minutes to go. Penguins then went 7-6 ahead before Uns Ahmed's 89th minute equaliser. Notable scorers Ryan Sunderland (3) and Huss Habibs 30 year cross-shot for AVTT. Jamie Stringer found his boots with two goals for Penguins, Brad Motler with his first ever goal and Gene Tipping and James Chapmans first goals and Scott Parks brace. Rivets Reserves and Thame C drew 1-1, Ben Ward with Thame's goal
