This was a thrilling opener to the Spartan League campaign, ten yellow cards, two red cards and three goals and eventuall three points for the Dynamos.

With James Weatherill and Harry James both unavailable it was youngster Joe Williams who is on the books at Kings Langley that made his debut in goal for Aylesbury, Bruno Brito, who has played just twenty minutes of pre season took up the left hand midfield birth in a 4-3-3 formation.

In glorious sunshine it was the home side that dominated the early scurmishes, pinning Aylesbury into their own half without ever really creating any clear opportunities as the Dynamos defensive unit held firm. It wasn't until the tenth minute that Aylesbury created their first chance, Alex Woodfine brought down the ball, found Alfie Gaspar in the area he turned and shot first time but it was gathered comfortably by Mckenzie-Lyle. Gaspar had another chance on twelve minutes but his weak shot from the edge of the box was straight at the Leighton keeper.

Aylesbury were now starting to get into the game and after eighteen minutes a nice move involving Alex Woodfine and Alfie Gaspar saw the young forward finding Bruno Brito on the edge of the eighteen yard box but Brito fired his left foot shot just over the bar. After twenty nine minutes Aylesbury's pressure finally paid dividends when Brito was picked out inside the area and his half volley type finish, although parried by McKenzie-Lyle, squeezed into the bottom corner, cue wild celebrations on the pitch as Brito was mobbed by the whole team.

The lead only lasted two minutes though, Jordan Fredericks floated in a cross to the far post which evaded the Dynamos defence and was nodded home at the far post by Dave Murphy. Leighton had an excellent chance to double their lead five minutes later when Osborne fed Webb with a spectacular ball, he eventually got the ball under control and fired a shot across Williams but somehow Lewis Strafford cleared the ball off the line with everyone believeing that the home side were about to take the lead. Strafford was injured in the seconds afterwards and had to be replaced.

On the stroke of half time Aylesbury restored their lead as Dan Wilson, rising like a salmon in the box, met a Bruno Brito corner and his bullet header gave the Leighton keeper no chance.

HALF TIME Leighton 1 - AVDFC 2

The second half started much as the first had done as Aylesbury were pushed deeper and deeper, but again although Leighton were dominating the pressure they failed to really trouble Williams in the Aylesbury goal. There were yellow cards galore as the half progressed with Carl Tappin, Jacob Troughton-Smith, Alfie Gaspar, Keith Mupfururirwa and Alfi Touceda all being brandished yellow cards.

After seventy five minutes, Leighton's Kyle Davison-Gordon picked up his second yellow and was dismissed as the match became more fractious, tensions were running high amongst the two sets of players as the home side pushed for an equaliser. Aylesbury's only real chance of the half again fell to Bruno Brito, he picked the ball up on the left drove forward into the area and fired in a low shot across the keeper but wide of the post. We then had our first sin bin when Tom Silford was sent to sit on the bench for ten minutes which meant the home side played the last few minutes with just nine men. The ref eventually blew the whistle and the Aylesbury boys celebrated an excellent opening day against a side tipped to be there or there abouts in the title race
