Weather continues to frustrate Aylesbury and District League

After three weeks off, no training and no games, the gleeful wait for a match was wishful thinking for local football last weekend.

The weather decided not to welcome back most teams as only five games survived the freeze, even if the snow didn't fall for 12 hours after.

The only cup game of the day saw unbeaten Oakley Utd from the Oxford Senior League attempting to do what no one has done for some time and that was beat Stoke Mandeville.

A valiant effort eventually saw the ADL Premier Division leaders see off Oakley 3-0. The game was 0-0 to the 60th minute but once the first went in from Dan O'Sullivan, Mandeville pushed onto another level, Sean Coles and Tye Duventru netting. They are into the semi-finals now.

There were no Premier Division games again and only two in each in of Divisions One and Two.

Stoke Mandeville Reserves moved joint top of Division One on goal difference, albeit having played a game more. A 6-3 away win at Chesham continued their unbeaten run.

Leading 3-1 at the break the goals flowed second half, as when Chesham netted Mandeville restored their advantage. Ryan Hamilton (2), George Scott, Will Robertson, Harvey Fenn and Ethan Floyd scoring.

Rivets Sports made it back to back wins and three in five games to move from eighth to fith after a 4-2 win at St Leonard's. Luke Ruby and Matt O'Donovan scored before Ray Long made it 3-1 at the break, Long grabbing his second and settling the game in the 89th minute.

In Division Two, Oving Reserves went back to the top with a 4-0 win over Thame C, their sixth league win in a row. Freddie Tomlin’s first half goal was added to by a late Rahat Islam brace and a Nick Hartness goal.

Wendover Reserves have games in hand and eventually saw off in form Quainton 4-2. Leading 2-0 in the early minutes from Daniel Bell and Hossam Fowlie goals, a penalty from Callum Thomas should have been game over, but Quainton got a goal back from the spot and a header from Adam Perna before Nathan Perna got a second petty yellow card.

Wendover gleefully then scored a fourth from Fowlie from distance in the last minute.as the Yellows push back up the table.
