The management team decided to go with the same starting team that played against Harpenden mid-week, with the only change being Jamie Fulton in for Antonio.

The match started tentatively with both sides not really creating any chances in the first 10 minutes. However, Hodgins and a Shefford defender clashed heads badly leaving both shaken. Hodgins was able to carry on but the Shefford player went off.
19 minutes in and a sloppy pass in midfield saw Shefford race through and score past Studley. Probably slightly against the run of play as well…0-1 Shefford.
A couple of minutes later, Abu was fouled near the edge of the Shefford goal. Josh Boorn stepped up and hit a decent free kick, but the keeper saved well.
On the half hour mark, Shefford tried their luck from the edge of the area with a thunderous strike which Studley saved well.

A Boorn corner was fizzed into the box on 37 minutes and Max Rosner rose highest to head towards goal, going inches over the bar.
Studley was called into action again before the half was out as he saved a 1 on 1 chance with his legs.

Half time: AVDFC 0-1 Shefford

Jack Hodgins was taken off at half time with Cheston Prosper coming straight into the defence.
The second half started with a goal for Shefford as a good cross was converted neatly by their striker. 0-2 Shefford. Not the start Dynamos wanted.

Brownie and Boorn both had good chances to reduce the deficit in the early stages of the half as Dynamos were playing ok and pushing forward.
59 minutes and Dynamos were back in the match. Abu picked up the ball 40 yards out, strolled forward, beat his man and unleashed a phenomenal shot which the keeper could only stare at as it hit the back of his net. Great goal. Dynamos 1-2 Shefford.

63 minutes and Dynamos were searching for the equaliser. Baldwin got clear and his shot was at the keeper who palmed it away for a corner. Max was inches away from connecting to the Boorn corner.
66 minutes saw Sam Wood on for Jake Baldwin.
76 minutes and Rio Deall was in the book…not sure what for…
A couple of minutes later Jack McKenzie was replaced by Harry Loakes on the right wing.

Abu Khan then managed to get into the box and appeared to be pulled back, no penalty.
A couple more subs came on to freshen things up with Ollie Lawford and Jet Dyer, coming on for his first ever appearance, replacing Jamie Fulton and Fabian Garcia.

Some terrible timewasting from Shefford and a yellow card for Cheston saw the match end in a loss for the Dynamos.
