Manager Paul Bonham had to make a couple of enforced changes with Haydon Clack injured and Sam Odusoga only fit enough for the bench, so started with a back three of Jordan Jenkins, Craig Carby and Derek Feyi. Harry Scott returned for his first start since re joining from Berkhamsted with Bruno Brito dropping to the bench.
The unfamiliar back three along with the strong first half wind saw FC with their backs to the wall and the pace of Lynton Goss and balls wide over the top were causing Derek Feyi all sorts of issues on the left hand side of the defence. The first goal came in the 10th minute when a mistake at the back meant a cross to West in the box was neatly controlled before going round Nick Bennion for an easy tap in to make it 1-0 to the home side
Aylesbury’s first chance came when a cross from the left found Brian Haule in the box who managed to get in front of the defender but could not head the ball into the net, this was a real missed opportunity for Aylesbury. On 19 minutes Harry Scott Scott got the ball on the left cut inside and put in a ball acros the face of the goal but there was no one to meet it. Scott then played in Ty Deacon but he just couldn't keep the ball down as the keeper came to meet him and the ball sailed over the bar.
Aylesbury at this point were well in the game playing some nice football but lacking the killer instinct in front of goal, Thame ended the half with their second goal from ex Mole Lynton Goss who tapped the ball in from close range.

The game was ended after just three minutes after the restart, Goss cross was well met by Dan West who headed the ball past Bennion. In the 64th minute Thame had a free kick given when there was a crunching late tackle on Goss. Goss himself was able to get up and take the free kick himself and hit the ball towards West who flicked the ball into the net giving him his hat trick. Aylesbury made three changes in the second half in search of goals and did begin to play at a faster tempo late on. Aylesbury did get a consolation goal in the 85th minute when a free kick was struck by left footed substitute Brunio Brito which smashed the post and went in leaving Hill unable to move to make it 4-1.
