Starting a run of four games against sides in the top six, Saints got off to the worst possible start with a performance that, at times, hinted that if the wheels weren't yet coming off then they were certainly wobbling on the Saints wagon.
Shorn of several key starters, Danny Edwards was forced to rearrange his defence and midfield. Saints made much of the early running and with Aaron Lansiquot sending a header wide and Glenn Yala spurning the best chance of the half by scuffing a shot badly off target, they had the opportunity to have the lead by the interval.

Evo-Stik League Southern Division One Central (Saturday 14 February)
Since their promotion to the Southern League Chalfont had not played out a goalless draw at Mill Meadow in 78 games. Saturday's draw against neighbours Northwood brought that record to an end but it was a pretty good game all the same.
Both goalkeepers were very much to the fore in an entertaining game that saw plenty of good passing football as well as several efforts on goal that hit the woodwork.

Wycombe Senior Cup Quarter Final (Tuesday 03 February)
Saints moved comfortably into the semi-finals of the Wycombe Senior Cup as a spirited Risborough Rangers were overpowered on an entertaining, if chilly, evening.
Saints fielded a strong side and grabbed the lead as Sam Grayley scored his first goal of the season. The Risborough keeper had to be on top of his game as, inspired by Louis Stead, Chalfont went hunting for the goals that have been eluding them since the turn of the year.

Saints ended their winless run with a battling draw on Saturday in a game that they dominated from first to last whistle.
