After hours spent on the phone chasing players, some of whom hadn't played for Aylesbury for years, that's how desperate we were, skippers Ivan Dmytrenko and Glyn Wright were relieved to find that a cry-off by the 3rd team's opposition on the Friday evening gave them a full squad of players and reserves to travel to Buckingham.
A's Vets had played Buckingham earlier in the season and had been convincing winners, but with several new faces in the team, combined with the knowledge that Buckingham 1st team did not have a fixture, a tough fixture was anticipated. The first face to be seen when A's arrived at Buckingham was Guy Furby, a long-time Aylesbury 1st team player and former vet, who had moved to Buckingham a couple of years ago and who was now plying his trade in Buckingham's 1st team. Gary Pearce was looking forward to renewing acquaintances with his old team mate!
He will be holding regular coaching sessions to develop coaches and players, dates the be confirmed (see website).

Written by Donna Woodfall
Thursday, 15 November 2007
Team:
U15
Opponents:
Chesham RFC.
Competition:
Bucks County RFU Youth League - Friendly.
Venue:
Chesham RFC
Result:
Chesham RFC 17pts - Aylesbury RFC 32pts.
Date:
Sunday 11th November 2007.
Aylesbury U15’s notched up their second away win of the season with a sparkling first half display in their match against Chesham on Sunday.On a clear and blustery day, A’s took the initiative right from the start and ran in two tries in the opening 10 minutes.The first came from Scrum-Half Charlie Esdon with a fast swerving run and the second from Inside Centre Jack Whitehouse, down the left hand side, following a powerful drive through the middle by No.8 Tawanda Bwerudza.Chesham recovered to peg one try back but Aylesbury maintained the initiative with a superb solo effort between the posts from Whitehouse.Outside Centre Rob Kempton kept up the momentum with another try between the posts, converted by Whitehouse, followed by a fine individual, long kick-and-run try down the right.Chesham rallied to pull back a converted try just before half-time, to make it 27-12 in Aylesbury’s favour.
In the second half, both teams enjoyed good periods of territorial advantage but both were unable to capitalise on it.The powerful Chesham pack gave Aylesbury a number of problems to think about but good consistent tackling and ball handling kept A’s on top.Just as the half looked like it was going to end scoreless, Aylesbury Winger Matt Fitchett scored his first try of the season, following a great interception and sprint from within his own half.The home team then countered with their final try, squeezed right in the corner but, at the whistle, it was Aylesbury who ran-out clear winners by 32-17.
