The ground might have thawed.... but my feet haven't

Sunday saw the Aylesbury Town U18's back in action away to Pitsone... at Wingrave(?)
A pretty solid first half for the visitors giving them the lead after 7 minutes but the celebrations were short lived when Pitsone equalised within minutes. Town continued to battle on & put a further 2 away midway through the half. The home team worked at reducing the deficit & were successful in the 40th minute only to have Town plant the ball inside the far post after a well placed cross found the head of the charging forward.
The second half was a more scrappy affair, with Town having to work up-hill but Pitstone not really capitolizing on the advantage. Pitsone clawed another goal back 15mins into the second half & both sides missed out on spectacular goal-mouth melee's with the ball miraculously staying out of the net leaving the scoreline unchanged at 4-3 to Town.

A good start to the New Year which gave one Town player the chance to chant the quote of the day "Unbeaten in 2010!!"

I'll be back on the sidelines again...

No.... It's true..... Just look at the links opposite>>>>

J has re-signed for Sunday football joining Aylesbury Town (U18's Corinthians)

So I remembered very quickly the requirements needed for spectating parents.... hat, gloves, thermals & coffee....

Sadly (with the exception of the coffee, TWO HUGE flasks to serve three... yep the sidelines include Mr Mac) I remembered the other three items when reaching the oppositions car park in Milton Keynes!

I've also remembered three other key items I used to carry.... the notebook, pen & stopwatch...
I'm not planning to match report as regularly as I have in previous seasons but do intend to keep my hand in every now & again.... so let that be a warning to you!

Aylesbury FC....

Aylesbury FC had the privelage of displaying the FA Cup last night as they are the only "Step 5" team still playing in the Cup Qualifying rounds. A good turn-out went down to the club for the photo opportunity which was displayed from 6pm until around 9pm. Plenty of media coverage has also been generated with the FA's own web team & BBC South East sports crew along with various newspaper journo's.



Steve MacDonald & myself with the prize that ALL football teams long to adorn their trophy cabinet.

Steve MacDonald made the comment of the evening just prior to the Cup being returned to the security guards...

"Ladies & Gentlemen the FA Cup will be available for photo's to be taken for the next 10 minutes..... It will be back again in May!!"

Aylesbury FC's cup run can be followed via the link on the menu or through the FA's own website
