Depleted Ducks Defeated at Sudbury
6FEBSudbury completed their rather comfortable double over the Ducks by inflicting a 5-2 defeat at King's Marsh.
The home side took the lead through Craig Hughes with just 3 minutes gone, and scored another courtesy of Daniel Emmanuel before 15 minutes had been played.
Aylesbury were missing a large number of players to injury and the team's unfamiliarity was proving a big factor, but Shiblu Miah gave his side a lifeline with an instant goal back.
It meant the Ducks were back in the game, but quite how the yellows failed to increase their lead before the break only they'll know.
The second half was a different story as Sudbury finally managed to convert their chances - on loan Histon striker netting a hattrick to make it 5-1.
Again there were more chances, but United had the last word when Richard Pringle marked his return with a well taken goal.
Ducks Re-Sign Pringle for Sudbury Trip
6FEBAylesbury United have re-signed former top-scorer Richard Pringle for today's trip to AFC Sudbury.
The powerful frontman became a popular figure when he was leading scorer with 21 goals in the 2006/07 season, despite spending a period away at a higher level with Bedford Town.
He will also be remembered for hitting some spectacular goals, none more so than a memorable 25-yard volley at Bedworth United.
Since leaving the Ducks in 2007 Richard has played for Leighton Town, Arlesey Town and, this season, Barton Rovers.
It will be hoped he can help the misfiring Ducks in front of goal, beginning this afternoon, and we welcome him back to the club
Sudbury Game Confirmed
5FEBSudbury's pitch has passed the 9am inspection and today's game will go ahead.
There was reportedly a lot of standing water currently on the pitch at the King's Marsh Stadium which had necessitated the inspection.
Chesham Clinch Derby Win
2FEBAylesbury were beaten by Chesham for the first time since 2006 in this season's first meeting of the old adversaries.
To say it was a poor game would be a huge understatement with both sides falling flat on the night.
For Aylesbury they continue to be inconsistent after one good performance followed by one disappointing.
On the other side of the fence Chesham appeared to be playing at a canter, the promotion hopefuls seemingly never getting out of second gear.
The home side eventually strolled to a two-goal first half lead but never fully stamped their authority on the game.
That said, home keeper Hayward didn't have a save to make all night whilst Chesham had sporadic chances to score more.
