Aylesbury got another ninety minutes under the belt against Southern Premier side Beaconsfield and matched their higher league opponents for much of the game.

It was though the opponents who started the game the better with a couple of corners in quick succession, Joe Fitzgerald almost headed into his own goal from the first but the second was well headed away fronm the imppressive Lewis Strafford. After six minutes Aylesbury had the first real chance of the evening after Jacob Lowe dragged the ball wide from the edge of the box after Shane Smith had found him with a low cross into the box. Alex Woodfine then lofted the ball just wide after Roy Byron's through ball was met by the striker.

At this point midway through the first half the game was very even with the Aylesbury back five looking very compact and solid and with Byron sitting in front snuffing out Beaconsfield's attacking threat. James Weatherill's goal was threatened on the half hour mark when a header from a right wing cross flew past the post. almost immediatly Dan Mcateer found himself in acres of space in midfield, travelled to the edge of the box but the defender's shot went wide of the away goal.

James Weatherill made a fine save after thirty eight minutes, Beaconsfield No.10 broke the offside trap and blasted one towards the top corner, but Weatherhill was more than equal to it and made a fine diving save.

Half Time AVDFC 0 Beaconsfield 0

Five minutes into the second half and Beaconsfield took the lead when the Number 9 fired low into the bottom corner, Aylesbury though came straight back and a beautiful long diagonal ball from Lewis Strafford was brilliantly brought down by Ryan Tappin, who once now one on one with the keeper but fired the ball straight at him and the chance came to nothing, then a brilliant crossfield ball from Ryan Tappin was headed down by Fitzgerald into the path of Keith Mupfururirwa, who struck the ball sweetly first time and it flew narrowly over the bar.

Beaconsfield doubled their lead on on seventy six minutes when a defensive header from Tom Cranmer looped over the head of James Weatherill into an empty net against the run of play.

A competitive 90 minutes of football. The Dynamos defended well for long spells and created a handful of chances against challenging opposition. Plenty of positives.
