Under 15’s – Division 3
Berkhamsted Town 0 - Aylesbury Vale 2
Aylesbury Vales league title hopes remain alive after a 2 – nil win away at Berkhamsted Town yesterday (Sunday). Vale took early control of the game, applying pressure on the defence & maximising on opportunities to break through, Andy Thorp supplying the opening goal for the visitors on 10 minutes. Town, suddenly very aware of the Vale threat, restarted play & pushed up the right wing & made an attempt across the goalmouth that could very nearly have brought the scores back level; but when Vale cleared the ball out for a corner, any further threat left the pitch with it.
Possession & control was largely with Vale, several further good attempts at goal were made through the first half but lacked accuracy to their finish.
The second half opened with the same spirit as the former 40 minutes. A swift advance gave Vale a corner within the opening 2 minutes; a neatly delivered ball found the head of Chris Hawes, which he turned in to goal; but a foul on Berkhamsted keeper “Sponge” Tinsley, left the score still at 1 – nil. The home team were grateful for the reprieve but were still unable to make any real impact. The game continued on as the sky darkened & thunder grumbled around, Aylesbury continued to push for a bigger lead & after 65 minutes when Pat Hurst powered a shot from 30yds on the right wing it came down to “Sponge” to absorb it; the block left the ball loose for the incoming Hawes, who made no hesitation at burying it in the net. Town only managed to reply with a close call from Alastair Cullen that he put just wide right of the post.
Dont forget, no game for the 15's next weekend but the big final in the Referees Cup on Tuesday 6th May (update next time will be on the Wednesday)
