Going from strength to strength

With the season creeping towards a finish Aylesbury United Ladies took on league title contenders North Leigh on Sunday and put in one of their best performances of the season. Aylesbury started quickly and were soon in the lead as Tiana Phillips-Maynard played a ball down the right wing which was taken on by Sarah Jackson. She crossed the ball to Rachel Saunders who picked it up and passed it on to Tiana who finished brilliantly in the far corner of the goal. North Leigh did battle back though and equalised within eight minutes but just six minutes after that Aylesbury were in the lead again with another fantastic goal. Sarah Jackson crossed the ball from the right and Amber brought it down beautifully before curling it into the corner of the goal to make it 2-1.

The half swung again with nine minutes to go as North Leigh equalised again but this did not stop a dominant Aylesbury performance and they scored two more goals in the last five minutes of the half. Another lovely move led to their third goal with Jen Lambie playing a ball into Tiana who flicked it onto Sarah Jackson near the half way line and she ran straight on goal before shooting past the keeper. Aylesbury's fourth came from an Amber corner which was collected by Sarah Gerrard who shot into the top of the net to make it 4-2 at half time.

The second half was goalless as the Aylesbury's midfield and defence dominated the North Leigh team allowing them no chances to get back into the game until the last minute when a great shot was superbly saved by Gemma Warner in the Aylesbury goal.

It was a tremendous performance by the Aylesbury United team that showed the massive advances they have made this season. The whole team should be very proud of themselves and head into the final three games of the season with confidence.
