The season is over and time to reflect as we finished 4th (Champions League or play offs in any other league!).

Going into 2012 was a turning point for us on the pitch and results showed with a great run through March and April and eventually leapfrogging Haringey and Tring. Personally I think the best team won the league - Royston - and the two teams from Dunstable pushed them all the way.

Our aim has always been progression and we achieved this and we will continue to do so.

On the field Jack Sillitoe, Fritz and Captain marvel Woody marshalled the back 4 with Jonah and Sam improving in the full back positions. In midfield Bainsy had a great season and Edgy still has got a lot to give with Warren full of enthusiasm as normal on his return, Tommy B and Russell played their part when not suspended or injured respectively. Marcus gave us natural width and Joey and Stacey performed well as a pair scoring some outstanding goals on the way and when fit Lord Melford proved he can be a handful to any team. Young JD also gained some valuable experience.

ALL IN ALL I was very proud of each and every one of the players who all played their part. Back room staff Gary, Glyn, Matty and Vicky on match days and training do their bit and play a massive part in preparing the players.

I am all ready looking forward to next season and have spoken to all the players and they have enjoyed the season and are committed to continue improving this fantastic football club as we aim to progress forward and keep all the dedicated AUFC fans entertained.

I have also already spoken to a few players we wish to bring in the close season to further strengthen the team.

Thanks for all your support and have a great summer break.

United Ladies' fine late season form continued on Sunday with another impressive performance to win 3-1 at Newbury Ladies.

The result ensured they moved off the bottom of the table and above their opponents.

Aylesbury's scorers were Gemma Franklin and Leigh Reed with two.

A number of Aylesbury United Ladies will be running the 'Race For Life' in memory of former friend and team mate Sarah Flight who sadly lost her brave battle with cancer at the start of the season.

An epic comeback of three goals in ten minutes brought Aylesbury back from two-goals down to win 3-2 at London Tigers.

United looked dead and buried after going two goals behind early in the second half, despite having much of the play.

It looked like it wasn't to be their night as chance after chance went begging - until the Ducks were gifted a penalty lifeline for handball, which Stacey Field gratefully accepted.

Cometh the hour, cometh the man... and the greens man of this hour was Paul Edgeworth.

Having had a quiet game he first levelled with a deflected shot which looped up into the net, Joe Donaldson credited the goal for claiming the last touch.

Then, three minutes later, he smashed home a fabulous strike from the edge of the area - and the turnaround was complete.

Tigers offered little in response as United were able to successfully close out the game - and overtake Haringey Borough for 4th place in the league.

Well done to the players and management for such a thrilling finale to the season and the reward they deserve!

The postponed London Tigers match has now been re-arranged for Tuesday 1st May, kick-off 7.45pm at Silver Jubilee Park in Kingsbury, London (Tigers' home last season).

Should this match also fall foul of the weather, then we have provisionally booked Leighton Town's ground for Wednesday 2nd May, kick-off 7.45pm to play the fixture.

The final day of the Premier Division season it should have been, but the weather had other ideas meaning an extension of the campaign for Hadley/Stotfold and London Tigers/Aylesbury United whose games were postponed.

Champions Royston Town won 4-2 at home to Haringey Borough in front of their season’s best crowd of 503, with league top scorer Kaan Fehmi amongst the scorers – his 32nd league goal of the season.

The Crows were 4-0 up after 51 minutes thanks to a brace from John McGrandles and a Luke Robins strike before Fehmi’s effort, only for Haringey to pull two back late on through Chris Morgan and, in stoppage time, Dean Fenton.

With Tring Athletic drawing 3-3 at home to Oxhey Jets – whose youngster Cornelius Keating scored his first senior goal for the club – Aylesbury United are guaranteed 5th spot, and could climb to 4th by virtue of Haringey’s defeat.

Dunstable Town won their final game as they came from behind to win 3-2 at home to Leverstock Green. Max Farrelly gave the visitors an early lead, three goals in ten second half minutes from Joe Bruce, Nathan Frater and a Lee Roache penalty swung the game, before Paul Insley reduced the deficit in his manager Steve Heath’s last game in charge of Leverstock.

Third-placed town neighbours, AFC Dunstable, shared a 2-2 draw at third-bottom Holmer Green, who finish the season four points clear of the relegation places. Dunstable were twice behind, goals from Gareth Williams and O’Donnell, levelled by Tony Burnett and a Wayne Mills penalty.

Hertford Town endured a second successive 5-1 to end their season in miserable fashion at Hillingdon Borough, where Lee Armitt scored a first half hat-trick.

At the bottom, Hanwell Town ensured they finished second bottom with a 4-2 home win over Biggleswade United. Sean Murray gave United a 6th minute lead, but goals from Glenn Garner, a brace from Myles Stephenson and Dean Wharman turned the game 4-1 in Hanwell’s favour, before a late consolation from Biggleswade’s Martin Wilson.

Hatfield’s disappointing season was finally put to bed with another miserable defeat, as they went down 4-1 at fellow strugglers over the campaign, Harefield United. Ben Barton and Jack Reader put Harefield 2-0 up in twenty minutes, and although Ashley Dray hit back for Hatfield, two late Keemo Maphela strikes gave the Hares a big win.

In the final two fixtures with little to play for, Broxbourne Borough and St. Margaretsbury shared six goals, with St. Mags’ Leigh Rose firing two in a 3-3 draw, whilst Berkhamsted won 3-1 at Colney Heath.

Today's fixture, away to London Tigers, has been postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.

With this being the final match of the season, we are now awaiting details from the League of when the game will be rescheduled for.

A ray of sunshine finally shone down on the Aylesbury Ladies on Sunday, as through the rain and hail they recorded their first league victory since September.

A full match report is now available, with Bethan Harris scoring a very rare goal that turned out to be the deciding strike.

The Ladies are looking to strengthen the squad ahead of next season and anyone interested in more information can contact Andy on 07840 441855
