Aston Goss grabbed both goals, one a raptor of a strike from 30 yards, the other a simpler but by no means less vital tap in. News of a Histon victory only underlined the importance of this win, which leaves the team with an excellent chance of survival with just three games left to play.

The home side's Jack Vasey had the first chance of the game but Ashley Jenkins in the Aylesbury goal blocked his run with a brave foray from goal. Aston Goss had the first FC attempt on the opposition goal with a low shot on 20 minutes that keeper Bart Pedrycz spilled before collecting at the second time of asking.

FC continued to play the more attractive and indeed the more incisive football. Alex O'Brien hit a shot over the bar before a great Harry Scott ball over the top gave Ty Deacon the opportunity to hit a terrific volley that Pedrycz did well to shepherd over the bar. From the resultant corner, the keeper again came to his side's rescue punching a Jordan Jenkins' header clear.

Town's Tony Williams had a half chance with a low shot on 33 minutes. A few moments later, the same player was stopped on a run on goal by Ashley Jenkins, who cleared whilst under pressure. Despite these two home chances, most of the positive work was being performed by FC and when Brian Haule glanced a header wide from a quality Harry Scott cross then it really looked like it could be one of those days.

Luckily, the next move of the match changed all that. On 38 minutes, the ball reached Aston Goss who unleashed an unstoppable shot into the top corner from 30 yards to give FC the lead. As half time approached Ty Deacon should really have made it two but once again Pedrycz came to Town's rescue.

Shots by Aylesbury's Brian Haule and Alex O'Brien failed to increase the score line with decent strikes as the second half pattern followed the first with the away side on the offensive. Ty Deacon's sliced shot wide however only served to highlight the need for the cushion of a second goal.

As the minutes counted down, Arlesey grew more into the game as FC fell deeper and deeper into their own half. Taylor Rhiney hit a shot over the bar before team mate Christian Tavernier glanced a header just the wrong side of the post.

The home team's best chance of an equaliser fell to Rafe Goodman but despite being clean through on goal, he could only strike the ball into the side netting much to the relief of FC. Tavernier got his head to a deep cross but could only guide it wide as the home team's attacking became more and more desperate.

Deep into injury time, a hoisted clearance ball from the FC defence saw Arlesey's Luke Abraham and keeper Pedrycz get horribly in each other's' way leaving the path clear for Aston Goss to tap the ball home and thereby claim the win.
