All games go ahead in the Aylesbury & District League despite a rainy weekend

There was a major cup upset in the President’s League Cup as holders Stoke Mandeville bowed out on penalties to Division One side AFC Chesham after a 2-2 draw, Chesham keeper Aryan Gaijar the hero with a spot-kick save during the game and then two in the shoot-out. Aiden Rennie put Mandeville ahead before Cam Harvell's worldie from 25 yards. Kobie Ambrose then put Chesham in front as they attempted to hold onto their lead, but Marcus Hussey soon equalised and Chesham rode their luck.  Mandeville's missed spot kick adding to that as they won an eventful game 4-3 on penalties. 

Back in league action, it looks like a two-horse title race already as Oving heaped more misery on Great Missenden with a 5-2 win, Josh Dance with four goals and 13 for the season already leaving The Miss second bottom and Oving with a 100 per cent record, 11 points ahead. 

Six points then separate seven sides. Aylesbury Hornets are third with a 1-0 win over AVTT while Wendover beat Wingrave 4-3, going 2-0 up early on, as Wingrave pulled goals back but couldn't get back level through the game nor after Wendover's Alex James saw red with ten minutes  left.

Elmhurst beat AWFC 4-1, running into a 3-0 lead a red card for Ameer Aslam should have changed the scoreline but Elmhurst made it 4-0 before a late consolation. Mohammed Ali Khan with a hat-trick. 

In Division One, leaders Stoke Mandeville Reserves made it five wins from five and an eight point lead already after beating Aylesbury Penguins 3-0, George Scott opened the scoring and grabbed another late on alongside Dean Bayliss to settle the game.  

Aylesbury Hearts dropped points when losing 6-2 to Steeple & Ludgershall, who got their first win since promotion. Luis Silva put The Hearts ahead before four first half goals killed the tie. Gareth Dench. Matt Gibbs, Calum Mulhall and Jordan Gill netting. Gill grabbed another as did Desal Turner.  Taran Ashall at 40 grabbing a late consolation.

Haddenham Utd ended Rivets’ three-game winning streak with an impressive 3-0 win to move into fourth. Wendover Reserves romped to an 8-0 win over AWFC Reserves who battled on with less then 11 men due to injury. Stuart Creaser with a first half hat-trick. 

In Division Two, AVTT Reserves went top on goal difference with a 4-2 away win at Aylesbury Royals, Marc Sunderland with a brace as the leaders went 4-0 up. Chearsley moved third with a 8-1 thrashing of Arncott. Two goals a piece for three players; Connor Ferguson, Sean Hardy and Liam Wing.

Aylesbury Phoenix and Wendover Colts drew 3-3, that's no wins in three for the newbies as Colts keep improving. Tring Athletic A were clinical in their 2-1 win away at Aylesbury Penguins Reserves with two shots and two goals in the first half from Tom Lang and Jed Taylor, but they were grateful to 18 year old keeper Lewis Hunnisett with a number of fine saves. Jamie Stringer with the consolation goal.

The final game saw nine goals as Wingrave Reserves almost threw away their 5-4 away win after going 3-0 ahead inside 15 minutes via Matt Farell and two Andy List goals. Ben Ward’s hat-trick got it back to 4-3, Wingrave keeper Paul Stacey scoring from inside his own half for 4-2 taking the shine off that treble. Tom Ellis made it 5-3 before Julian Reed got Thame's fourth for a nervous end.
