Yet another grand finale saw United grab three more crucial points in their quest to regain their Premier Division status. And anyone who's ever been to Whyteleafe will know the immensity of this result. Leafe are an uncompromising team who ply their trade on a pitch about as flat as the Himalayas.
At half time trailing to a Gary Elliott sixteenth minute header United looked out of the game. But a change of tactics in the second period saw the Ducks come into the ascendancy. Stuart Maynard and Dwain Clarke both had good chances before Aylesbury finally equalised on the hour mark.
Dwight Marshall was played through on the edge of the area and showed his younger teammates how to finish, slotting the ball past the keeper with aplomb.
Most Ducks fans would have settled for that point, but the United supremo Hercules had other ideas and pushed a third striker up front.
With two minutes on the clock substitute Roni Joe went on a typical run. He bundled his way into the area and shot from a narrow angle. The Whyteleafe keeper pushed his effort onto the post, but the ball rebounded kindly to Dwight Marshall. The United number ten was side-on to the game and instead of blasting it hopefully like many strikers at this level would have he turned through 270 degrees and placed a shot high into the top right hand corner of the net.
Needless to say players, officials and supporters went wild as three more valuable points were heading back to Buckingham Road, but not before a nail-biting nine minutes of added time which the referee found from somewhere.
