A few weeks after their first meeting the teams met for the return league clash and when the visitors took the lead through Gareth Stewart after just two minutes, and then the influential Andy Robinson had to go off with a head injury, few would have guessed that United were about to put in a record breaking performance.

The game saw a return to Aylesbury colours of larger than life striker Dave Sansom. The former Barnet man was always a popular player at Buckingham Road and only left the club four months earlier to play nearer home. This was some comeback. On the half-hour the rotund front man fired a deflected free kick past the keeper to level and then put his side ahead, finishing a slick move with a deft header.

After the break Sansom completed his hat-trick from the penalty spot when Simon Mason had been felled before local youngster John Williams entered the fray and looked like stealing Sansom's thunder with a three goal haul himself.

His first two were near identical, racing through and rounding the keeper with aplomb. Amazingly he did it a third time only to see his effort cleared off the line. In between these strikes Williams had time to set up Sansom for his fourth, and then completed his own hat-trick with a superb finish from a Steve Lambert cross.

The result remains Aylesbury's biggest Isthmian Premier Division victory and eclipsed the 6-1 drubbing the Ducks had given Harrow at Earlsmead the previous season. It remained United's largest Isthmian League result until the 2001/02 8-0 demolition of Whyteleafe.
