As a new era starts at The Dynamos the heavens opened as Ryan Collings took control of the team at Broadfields. New manager, Steve Bateman, was on the bench watching from the sidelines as he took his first look at the squad.

In the second minute the away side had their first attack. Alfi Touceda received the ball from Dan Ball and he split the defence with a ball through to Jake Baldwin. He raced through and slotted the ball past the Broadfields keeper…! 1-0 Dynamos. In the fifth minute, Dan Ball collected a ball from Callum Shortt and hit a lovely cross which Jack Baldwin rose the highest but his effort was just over the bar.

13 minutes and Jake Baldwin controls a Paolo Bagatti pass out from the back. He beats his man and passes to Callum Shortt, he sidestepped his man and curls a lovely shot past the keeper and into the bottom of the net. 2-0 Dynamos. Aylesbury almost made it three when Charlie Ogle swung in a free kick and Paolo Bagatti got on the end of it but headed just wide of the target. The men in Red were keeping up the tempo and minutes later Matty Chew won the ball and played in Charlie Ogle and his shot was saved. Dan Ball was then the creator, his cross was well controlled by Jake Baldwin and his shot was well saved.

Broadfields then had a 5 minute spell where they created a couple of chances, first shot was wide and the second shot was saved by Dan McAteer, low to his left.

Half time 2-0 Dynamos.

Charlie Ogle was suffering a migraine and came off at half time replaced by Will Mullarkey, making his debut for the 1st team, stepping up from the Development side. The Dynamos were quick out of the blocks again and it was Will Mullarkey who was straight into the action, winning a great tackle and sending Jake Baldwin clear. He beat his man and hit a low shot which beat the keeper. 3-0 Dynamos. Will Mullarkey certainly made an immediate impact as he combined with Alfi Touceda to send Jake Baldwin through again, this time Jake’s shot was wide.

58 minutes a ball from Dave Brown found Jake Baldwin wide on the left, he raced past his marker and crossed to Callum Shortt who happily slid the ball under the keeper and into the goal…The Dynamos were 4-0 up and looked likely to score more. Aylesbury were playing lovely football and another move almost saw the captain get his name on the scoresheet. Alfi Touceda hit a lovely ball out to Jake Baldwin and he hit a great cross which Dave Brown just got on the end of but the ball went inches wide. Broadfields had a good opportunity on 62 minutes as Paolo Bagatti gave a foul away and picked up a yellow card in the process. The freekick was 20 yards out but the wall did its job and Terry Griffiths cleared his lines.

66 minutes and the away side were in their (fifth) element…! Alfi Touceda with a sublime ball through to Jake Baldwin, and he ran clear and completed a superb hat-trick. Another great goal from the rampant Dynamos. 70 minutes and Dave Brown collects a ball out from Dan McAteer and hits a great pass over the defence and into the path of Callum Shortt, but he lost control at the vital moment.
73 minutes and Paul Adam replaced Callum Shortt.

77 minutes and Ryan made his final substitution with Jack Elsey coming on for Matty Chew in the centre of midfield. With 10 minutes left, Jake Baldwin became provider again playing a ball through to Will Mullarkey, but as he slotted the ball home, the linesman’s flag was raised…shame. 82 minutes and Alfi Touceda was again providing the vision in the middle as he played in Jack Elsey, but he was inches offside. A moment later and the Broadfields keeper loses control of the ball giving the ball away to Will Mullarkey who hits a great shot against the post and the ball is cleared.

In the last minute a Broadfields midfielder had a great shot from 25 yards out which was heading for the top corner, but Dan McAteer was equal to it and made a great save, tipping the ball over.
