Aylesbury 3 Saints 3 (Spartan Premier Division) It might have been altitude sickness from being table toppers for a second week, but Saints threw away their chance of extending their lead at the top when they allowed Aylesbury to come back and steal a draw in Tuesday night's clash of the titans at Aylesbury. On the back of 9 successive wins, Saints were favourites against an Aylesbury side that had stumbled themselves in recent games after a run at the top. Within 15 minutes Saints took the lead through Danny Hughes but conceded almost immediately when Lewis Cumber conceded a penalty that Grant Carney converted. Saints went straight back up the field and a typically strong run by Charlie Strutton saw the in-form striker net for the 7th straight game and restore the lead. Saints were well in control and with Gareth Paxton back in partnership with John Carroll in defence, the Ducks offered little threat and it was no surprise when Strutton scored again just before the break to extend the lead to 3-1. For a game between the two meanest defences in the league the game wasn't going the way that was expected, but Aylesbury tightened up after the break and Saints, so dominant in the first half, never really looked like adding to their score. Kevin Mealor pulled a goal back for the hosts on the hour with a powerful header from a corner that should have been dealt with much better by Saints and a difficult half was compounded when another penalty was conceded, and converted again by Carney for the equaliser. Saints were now on the back foot, as they had been on Saturday, and after such a dominant first half, were more than pleased to hear the final whistle. Saints host Brimsdown Rovers on Saturday at 3pm
