| Leighton Town FC 1-1 Aylesbury FC |
With rumours that Aylesbury had several players out due to injury, it looked like Leighton might have the upper hand going into the game with a full squad.
Leighton had an early chance but Danny Watson's header went just wide of the post and it wasn't long before Aylesbury took the reins.
They had a chance just minutes later, but the ball bobbled up in front of Bradley Wadkins and Zaki Oualah was there to catch it.
Michael Lyon did well to win the ball from Lynton Goss in the 12th minute and once again Leighton came close but when the ball fell to the feet of Billy Lobjoit he skied it over the bar.
Finally after numerous chances Leighton put the ball into the back of the net, when Mark Bunker caught James Weatherill off his line and lobbed the ball over his head, making it 1-0 with 20 minutes on the clock.
Good fortune for Leighton didn't last long however as Aylesbury equalised only 16 minutes later. Wadkins managed work round Alvin Rajaram to hit a low powerful shot that Oulalah couldn't quite reach.
Aylesbury had their first corner in the 42 minute and Oulalah did well to punch the ball clear for Tyrone Taylor to boot it down the pitch.
With the second half underway and not much action to write home about, the game became quite scrappy and un-entertaining.
The first real action happened in the 60th minute when Aylesbury's Aston Goss (ex-Leighton player) hassled Lobjoit and had a clear run towards goal, he struck the ball hard but Oulalah gathered it with ease.
Leighton made two late substitution's one in the 80th minute, Ash Farmer replacing goal scorer Bunker and the second in he 82nd minute when Phil Draycott made way for Claude Senla.
With 90 minutes on the clock substitute Gareth Price played the ball straight across goal, some confusion between Rajaram and Oualah could have allowed a goal to be scored but thankfully Oualah managed to keep the ball under control.
Leighton's next game is on Saturday 21st March away to St Ives Town, kick off 3pm.
