Aylesbury got their 2018/19 preseason campaign underway with a 3-1 win at newly elected Spartan South Midlands League Division 2 side Bovingdon.
A strong looking Ducks outfit took a while to find their stride, before eventually going ahead on the half hour mark when Aaron Berry slotted home after good work by new signing Max Hercules.
Ten minutes later and Berry doubled his side's lead, firing home from close range after Callum Mapley's header from a corner kick had been blocked on the line.
Sonny French unluckily hit the bar with a wonderful 30-yard effort as Aylesbury ended the half in control.
Midway through a second half disjointed by the usual preseason changes, Maciej Tajs added a United third, before ex-Duck Lewis Pritchard pulled back a consolation for the hosts with ten minutes remaining.
