Hitchin Town 3 Aylesbury 2
29th October 2005
Hitchin Town made it three wins in a row for them, and three defeats in a row for Aylesbury United at Top Field this afternoon.
United were somewhat unfortunate to go in at half-time 2-0 down after Hitchin capitalised on two defensive lapses to score, the first after just 1 minute.
The Ducks showed good spirit in the second half, and pulled a goal back only for the home side to immediately score again, before Rob Gould scored late on to renew hopes of a comeback.
It wasn't to be though, as Hitchin clung on for their win and condemned Aylesbury to another defeat.

Aylesbury 4 Wroxham 2
11th October 2005
Aylesbury won through to a 4th Qualifying Round tie with Folkestone Invicta after finally overcoming Wroxham 4-2 at Buckingham Road.
Gavin Jaggard capitalised on Drew Roberts' persistance to score a much disputed opener midway through the first half - there were claims that the ball had gone out and of handball from Wroxham.
United lost their way after the break though, and Wroxham equalised through Lee Gilman and could've scored again as they carved apart the home side.
Instead it was the Ducks who hit back and launched themselves into a flattering 4-1 lead, courtesy of a brace from Roberts and Jamie Kearns' first for the club.
Wroxham hit a late consolation, but it was never going to be enough and the Ducks went through.

Wroxham 1 Aylesbury 1
8th October 2005
An equalising goal deep into stoppage time denied Aylesbury safe passage into the next round of the FA Cup at Wroxham this afternoon.
Drew Roberts had given the Ducks a 7th minute lead, and things looked to be rosy for the visitors as they appeared comfortable in the first half.
After the break things were less easy, Wroxham looking to get back in the match had plenty of posession.
It seemed as though United had done enough, but referee Mr Feerick found a large amount of injury time, and Adrian Coote popped up to book a replay.
The decider will now take place at Buckingham Road on Tuesday night, kick-off at 8pm.
Meanwhile look out for the draw for the 4th Qualifying Round which takes place on Monday.
