The Dynamos were away at Tring Corinthians as they continue their pre-season friendlies. The sun was scorching hot as Aylesbury got the game underway. Phil was without a few players as he shuffled the pack to get a good look at as many players as he can before 3rd August.
Tring were the first team to get a chance…and it was a huge chance as the Tring attacker was through on goal but Dan McAteer was equal to it, pulling off a great save.

Within 10 minutes The Dynamos had sight of goal. Some great work by Luke Nugent found Jake Baldwin on the edge of the box, he beat his marker but hit his shot high and wide. Dan Ball then collected a pass from Terry Griffiths and played a fantastic ball over the Tring defence into the path of Jake Baldwin. He controlled well but his shot hit the keeper. 14 minutes and Will Foley’s quick feet drew a foul. He got up and hit a lovely ball into the middle but both Jake Baldwin and Callum Shortt unable to convert.

A few minutes later Dynamos were getting a foothold in the game with the majority of possession. Will Foley found Tom McElroy and he strode forward and hit a great shot but wide of the mark. Jake Baldwin had another chance, this time Will Salmon finding him but his shot was wide of the far post. 22 minutes and Will Foley combines with Charlie Ogle to find room for a cross which is blocked for a corner. Will Foley took the corner himself and found Paolo Bagatti storming in to head home with a bullet header. 0-1 Dynamos.

Tring had a rare attack on the half hour mark but their shot went harmlessly over the bar. The rest of the first half saw Jake Baldwin and Callum Shortt with half chances to increase the lead but not taken.

Half time 0-1

Phil made one change at half time bringing on Ollie Lemon and resting Luke Nugent. Callum Shortt them moved to a more defensive role allowing Ollie Lemon to partner Jake Baldwin. Within a few minutes Ollie Lemon found Will Salmon and he hit a shot which got a wicked deflection and off for a corner. Corner was met by Terry Griffiths but wide of the mark. 57 minutes and Charlie Ogle lost possession leaving Tring winger to hit a low cross which was almost converted…going inches over the bar.

A minute later and Will Salmon found Callum Shortt moving forward, he hit a shot which the keeper saved well. 62 minutes and 3 more subs…Jamie Carter, Chris Shennan & James Young came on, replacing Charlie Ogle, Jake Baldwin & Tom McElroy. 69 minutes on the clock and a great opportunity for Chris Shennan. James Young provided the pass through to Chris Shennan and he was through on goal but dragged his shot wide.

James Young was seeing a lot of the ball and he combined with Will Foley and swung in a great cross which Jamie Carter headed just wide. Dynamos were getting closer. Final sub on 78 minutes saw Will Foley taken off after a knock, Jaspal Rait coming on for the final quarter of an hour. Callum Shortt found space on the right side and threaded a ball to Ollie Lemon. His cross was cleared well but fell to James Young who hit a superb volley at goal but was blocked by the defender.

Just over 5 minutes left and Will Salmon hit a ball through to Chris Shennan. He beat his man and was through again, his shot hit the keeper and came back to him…his second shot was also blocked. Somehow the ball didn’t go in…! The last meaningful attempt came as Ollie Lemon cut in from the right wing and beat a couple of players, but his shot whistled past the post.

Final Score: Tring Corinthians 0-1 Dynamos
