A few bumps and bruises, more serious knocks and other injuries at the end of the game today, but this was another excellent all-round performance by the team. It would be impossible to single out any one player as everyone contributed to a fine win - some well-taken goals, some resolute defending, as well some key work in midfield to support the attack and defence. All members of the team have really put in some superb performances so far this season, and made such an excellent start in the league.
Next week, they start on their cup action in the Berks and Bucks Women's Trophy.

What an enjoyable match played in good spirit. This was a Berks and Bucks 2nd round trophy match. Aylesbury Utd 3 M K City 3 result of shootout 3-2 to M K City. We started very quickly forcing pressure on them. This resulted in 2 goals in 5 mins, from Kayleigh M and Sammy J. M K then recovered and gained control of the ball. They scored at 31 mins.
Second half M K kept the pressure on, making frequent use of the rolling subs rule. They had a series of corners, which we defended but in the end they scored at 53 mins. They continued to keep the pressure on with us only breaking out occasionally.
Then on 68 mins, we conceded a pen for the hand ball, which they converted. Score now 3-2 to MK.
A change by the Aylesbury coaches resulted in us getting back into the game. For the last 10 mins, we had our chances and in the end a great solo run by Jessica R brought the equalising goal.
I will not comment on the pens. The highlight for me was holding on, all the squad including subs getting good minutes and then the deserved equalising goal. Thanks to the referee in his 4th game of the weekend and doing a great job. By the way he is a recently retired ADL player. More referees required.
Final thanks to all the support today from supporters of both teams

A disappointing afternoon for the women this afternoon. After two close games in the league and cup against Milton Keynes City (including just a week ago) today it was much more one-sided and, despite some creditable effort in defence from the green and whites, MKC came away from St Johns winning 4-1.
In truth, the Ducks had few chances, and the only goal scored was an excellent strike from Iona. At the other end, Khadijah once again displayed a lot of skill in goal with some excellent saves.
Thank you to everyone who came along to cheer the Ducks on.
Back to cup action next week, and the league cup away to Chinnor. Hopefully it will be a better afternoon against a team The Ducks have already beaten 6-0 away in the league.

Next up for the women's team is a trip to Chinnor for a Berks and Bucks cup match. Kick off 2pm on Sunday. The ground has a small covered stand, in case of rain and a club house on site.
I feel sure the team will want to move on after last week's rather flat performance.
All support is welcome.

The women's team played their 1st round League cup match at Chinnor today Sun 5th Nov. The score at full time was 3-3. We all know what happens when the match goes to pens.
Overall an great effort from the team missing a number of regular players. Sammy got us off to a great start, scoring from a long range free kick after 12 mins. She followed this up with 2 more goals at 16 and 35 mins. Chinnor had their chances in the first half but great defending kept them out. Justine and Bennie in central defence playing leading roles but assisted by Alice and Maddie at full back.
In the second half we still maintained pressure on Chinnor but their pressure told with goals at 65, 73 and 90mins.
Overall a good team performance which the good crowd of Aylesbury supporters enjoyed.
Thanks again for supporting the women's team

Aylesbury United Women lost 0-4 at Easington Sports Ladies today, but the scoreline does not reflect the game in any way. The home side have a 100% record in the league, which they maintained, but the Ducks made a promising start and could have taken the lead. A couple of goals conceded within two minutes spell after a quarter of an hour gave the home side an undeserved advantage, with a third added later on, making the half time score 0-3 but this was harsh on the the Ducks.
The second half was very even, and a late fourth goal - a hugely unfortunate deflected own goal - made the final score 0-4 but this in no way reflected the whole 90 minutes. Without doubt, this was an excellent, very creditable performance by the team in green and while despite the result.
Well done to everyone who played.

Sunday's game was the most even 4-0 I think I've ever seen, still can't get over the scoreline!
This coming Sunday Aylesbury play away at bottom of the table Bletchley Scot. Kick off has been brought forward to 1.30pm.
If any men's team regulars find themselves feeling hollow and empty and just sitting staring into space this weekend, I know the women's team would be very appreciative of your support!

Game tomorrow has been called off due to a waterlogged pitch at Bletchley. I will now be sitting staring into space tomorrow as I have been for much of today!

Latest fixture was today at home to Tattenhoe. We were missing a number of key players and the pressure from Tattenhoe told in a 6-2 defeat. An early goal from a defensive error was not the start we were looking for. Khadesha was playing her position well but pace kills and Tattenhoe had that available. Iona got one back after 30 mins after the team had recovered from a slow start to the first half.
Second half brought changes to the team with Georgina coming on to play up front with Iona. Jessica was making better runs down the left wing. Iona scored her second after 2 mins, of the restart. Justine, playing alongside Sarah G,was covering lots of the Tattenhoe through balls.
Overall I consider the scoreline a little geneross to Tattenhoe the better team today. We can be better and everyone is working hard to make this team improve.
We are at home again next Sunday. Thanks again to all our supporters.

Rather disappointing I felt today, as Tattenhoe are not the strongest opposition we have faced this season, and the final score rather flattered them at the end of the game. Sammy is always missed up front, and Claire K at the back too, but all those who played (including those who filled the gaps of the missing players) can be really pleased by their performances as they showed a lot of commitment and skill playing out of position, and the run of the ball didn't help us today at times.
Next Sunday, as JR has posted, the women are at home at St John's to Easington in the league's 'Plate' competition. All spectators will be welcome to come along and cheer the Ducks on.

I have been informed this evening that the home game with Easington in the Thames Valley League Plate competition that was postponed last week will now be played tomorrow (10th Dec). All supporters of The Ducks will be welcome, but anyone going should note that it is a 1.30pm kick-off and the game has been moved from St John's and will be played at the Fairford Leys pitches.

Last week's League Plate tie v Easington has been rearranged for tomorrow, 1:30pm ko at Fairford Leys (change from a presumably very soggy St Johns).
It'll be a tough game against the league leaders and I know the girls would appreciate any and all support!
