The Ladies' 1st XI continued their winning streak with a comfortable 4-0 win over Abingdon. This sees the team move up to 3rd position in the Premier 2 division of the Trysports Three Counties' League.

The 2nd and 4th XIs both lost their matches. The 2nd XI fought a tough match against Shefford and Sandy, just missing out on points. Final score was 5-4 to the visitors. The 4th XI played Wycombe Ladies 5 and went down 3-0 at Meadowcroft.

The 3rd XI were determined to stop their losing streak and did so with a great team effort against Maidenhead. Katherine Anley and Kirsty Dean gave a solid performance at the back, soaking up a lot of pressure from the visitors. Aylesbury conceded a number of penalty corners but stood firm with keeper Tiz Brooks keeping a clean sheet. Aylesbury's midfield, with Amy Hudson, Naomi Smith and stand-in skipper, Claire Heale, linked well with the forwards, exhibiting great passing moves to catch Maidenhead on the break. Pace and determination from Tara Scott up front troubled the Maidenhead defenders throughout the game. Kath Cheetham gave Aylesbury a 1-0 lead just before half-time. Maidenhead came out in the second half looking for their equaliser putting Aylesbury on the back foot. But another quick break from the back gave Naomi Smith her chance to get the second Aylesbury goal. The final goal came from debutant Meghan Howitt, who finished a great solo run by coolly slotting the ball past the Maidenhead keeper. Some wonderful individual play as well as a solid all-round team performance. Amy Hudson was voted Player of the Match.
