On Saturday Aylesbury played Wootton Bassett for second place in the Southern Counties North League at home. For the winners, a certain play off spot would be a huge incentive. A good crowd watched the game at the Weston Turville ground. A bright and mild day but a rock hard pitch would see a number of interruptions for, thankfully, minor injuries.
After a hard fought game, with the visitors having most of the possession and territorial advantage, it was the cutting thrust, defence and kicking at goal that Aylesbury came out on top 31-10. On the 7th May I have heard they play a team from Bath, Oldfield Old Boys, second in Southern Counties South, for a place in the South West (East) League.
PS In the play off final, Aylesbury came up against a very strong team from the West Country, and were beaten very easily. Although they were also missing some key players after a tour abroad arranged before they knew this match was due to take place.
