Davis Haule made one change to the side that had beaten Cirencester Town in the FA Cup last weekend with the suspended Craig Carby replaced by Antony Ball at left back. Chalfont has not been a happy hunting ground recently for The Moles and that poor run was going to continue this afternoon with the away side not having even one attempt that troubled Chalfont keeper Michael Power-Simpson.
It all started quite well for Aylesbury who got off to a fairly quick start, three minutes in and a free kick outside the box was played in by Aston Goss, it was headed away but met on the edge on the box by Ben Stevens, his angled header was met by the stretching Kieron Schmidt but he could only put the ball wide.
Chalfont though were always dangerous, especially down the right hand side and on one of these raids, Rob Hastings pushed the ball passed Anthony Ball got to the byeline and crossed in but Charlie Barton could only head directly at James Weatherill
The game was at times marred by some questionable refereeing decisions for both sides, but the Aylesbury players were more affected in that the side seemed to spend more time worrying about what the referee was giving/not giving that being concerned with their own performance. Kieron was booked for dissent and Jeanmal Prosper was lucky not to get booked after complaining with bad language about another decision. Chalfont however were getting on with the game and another raid down the right by the dangerous Hastings ended with his cross finding Alex Paine in the box but he blasted wildly over from close range.
The home side did take the lead on 40 minutes with what eventually was to be the only goal of the game when right back Mark Goodman picked the ball up in the centre of the field and just ran at FC, beating players and finally finding himself with just Weatherill to beat which he did from the edge of the box with a scuffed shot.
The second half was to be a very strange affair with Chalfont eventually having three players sent off in a game with not one really bad challenge. Jake Cass was the first to go on 57 minutes for a second bookable offence and with Chalfont doen to ten FC did have more of the ball but with absolutely no cutting edge, time and time again they would give the ball away on the edge of the box without ever troubling the home Keeper. Chalfont were down to nine after 88 ninutes when Jake Cass was dismissed for another second yellow and then on 90 minutes were down to eight when substitute Zaid Alhussaini was dismissed for a high kick on Davis Haule.
All in all an abject performance from Aylesbury which will have to improve before the team steps out at Haywood Way on Bank Holiday Monday for the local derby with Aylesbury United
