The FA Cup has come and gone yet again for The Dynamos as the side crashed out at the first hurdle. It was a case of a poor side beating an even poorer side in a very drab affair at Haywood Way.

With a number of players still unavailable, including Dave Brown, Ben Gill, Dan Lambeth and with Charlie Ogle injured on the morning of the match, there was another switch of personnel with Chris Shennan and David Pobbe playing up front, Dan Ball slotting in at right back and Luke Nugent playing on the right side of midfield.

The home side started fairly well but there was no playing through the midfield, instead it was long balls from Dan McAteer into the corners, long free kicks aimed at the away box which generally came to nothing as the forwards tried to work with crumbs.

There were a couple of shining lights, Paolo Bagatti and man of the match Terry Griffiths marshalled the defence well and rarely seemed in trouble and captain Alfi Touceda tried to get the ball down and play football. In fact it was Touceda who produced the first bit of decent play when his cute ball inside a Levens defender found the onrushing Dan ball but his cross from the byeline was cleared.

The away side were really no better than The Dynamos and only had one player, Charlie Holliday, who threatened and was involved in all their good work, and there wasn’t an abundance of that!

Just before the break Bagatti had a break from inside his own half, he stumbled through a number of the Levens' midfield and defence but eventually lost the ball as he crashed into an away defender. On forty five minutes Joe Oxley gave away a free kick just outside the box and Dan McAteer was called into action to tip the ball past the post in what was really the first real opportunity for either side.

At the break will Salmon replaced Oxley but the game just meandered on as it had done in the first half with what appeared to be no real pattern of play or quality from either side.

The decisive goal game on the hour mark when a ball down the line found Levens’ Joe Haswell on the right edge of the box, he stepped to the right and smashed a ball into the top left corner past McAteer for what was to be the winner.

Aylesbury had thirty minutes to get back into the game but really never showed the passion and determination to make it happen. There was an uptick in performance after Ollie Lemon replaced Luke Nugent but with time ticking away and the home side desperate for a goal, midfielder Daniel Boateng was brought on and Dan Wilson thrown into attack, leaving striker Jamie Carter on the bench and so it never seemed likely to happen.

So as in recent seasons Aylesbury exit the competition at the first round.
