On a day where Storm Brian blew over the south of england and made conditions difficult, it was Aylesbury that blew away the opposition with an almost faultless display, two goals from Jeanmal Prosper and the first clean sheet of the season.

With James Weatherill out for what looks like most of the season and Ashley Jenkins suspended, Manager Davis Haule turned to the club's Youth and drafted in U18s keeper Isaac Richmond for his first senior game. Joe Fitzgerald returned at right back with Garry Jones starting on the left and Craig Carby replacing the unavailable Ben Stevens in the heart of the defence. Also on the bench was Alfi Touceda, another young Mole with a great future ahead of him.

It was Aylesbury, against the wind, that had the perfect start. Jeanmal Prosper picked the ball up mid way in the Wintney half and dribbled towards the area, with nothing else on he then struck a twenty five yard shot which flew past Paul Strudley in the away goal for an FC lead. The away side though almost struck back immediately when a ball into the box bobbled around, wasn't cleared and fell to a Wintney striker but Isaac Richmond was on hand to block the shot from close range and the ball was cleared.

The goal seemed to give the team confidence and although conditions were difficult it was the home side that were in control, On twelve minutes Aston Goss playing in the centre of midfield, found Harry Scott on the left with a probing ball, Scott cut inside past two defenders but his thunderous shot was palmed away for a corner by Strudley. Soon after it was Prosper with a raking pass out to Scott on the left, his ball inside found Ty Deacon in the area who eventually passed the ball into the onrushing Prosper but his shot was again blocked for a corner.

On thirty five minuted young Richmond was again called into action when a through ball into Jake Baxter found the Wintney forward one on one with the young keeper but he was more than a match for the striker and smothered the chance. Just on half time and there was another opportunity for FC, a ball in from Deacon found Brian Haule in the box but he just couldn't make a full connection and the opportunity was spurned.

The wind was starting to get stronger as the second half began and now with the wind at their backs there was an air of confidence that was flowing through the home side, Aston Goss, making full use of the wind fired in a free kick from fully thirty five yards which was tipped round the post, then a minute later the marauding Harry Scott, who was giving Callum Eagle at right back a game he'll want to forget, thundered in a right foot shot which was brilliantly turned over by the away keeper.

Then on sixty minutes Aylesbury got the second goal that their play deserved, an Aston Goss corner was met at the near post by Prosper who flicked it home for his second of the game and what the fans hoped would be the winner.

The away side were struggling with the conditions but did have a couple of half chances against the run of play Adam Everiss beat Joe Fitzgerald and Davis Haule and his ball to the back post wasn't quite met by the Adam New at the back post, Garry Jones then cleared off the line after a speculative strike but the chances were few and far between as FC found a new resiliance at the back. Alfi Touceda got a couple of minutes at the end of the game and immediately showed why he is thought of so highly with a lovely bit of interplay in the middle of the park. It ended in a deserved win for the home side and we now go to Beaconsfield on Monday evening for another game against a top six side.
