Cinderford Town 1

Aylesbury United 3

CINDERFORD'S interest in this season's FA Cup ended as they were beaten by an Aylesbury side more adept at taking their chances.

An unscheduled fly past by the Red Arrows preceded kick off and Cinderford made a bright start with early pressure and Andy Lewis saw his header cleared.

Aylesbury were not fazed however and went ahead on six minutes when a long ball was hooked by Petrucci into the path of Edgeworth, who made no mistake.

Seven minutes later Baines rose well to head Shane Wood's centre past Harris. Wood himself should have scored soon afterwards but struck the bar.

Cinderford then lost Andy Lewis to injury with his namesake Greg coming on and their best move of the half saw Prangley's cross reach Whittington who in turn fed Evans, only for the midfielder to blaze his shot over the bar.

Right on half time Blackett failed to convert a great chance after a fumble by Harris.

The second half introduction of first Sommers then O'Sullivan saw an improvement in Town's performance as the former's aerial threat and the latter's guile caused Aylesbury's rear guard increased problems.

O'Sullivan however twice failed to convert excellent chances and Thomas and Sommers also had opportunities before Town finally got on the score sheet.

With 71 minutes gone Barnes and O'Sullivan combined well and the latter's cross was despatched by Hunt.

Jack Wood then went close for the visitors before an O'Sullivan cross was headed narrowly wide by Thomas.

With time running out and Town searching for an equaliser, Aylesbury sealed the game with a break away goal when Blackett running onto a long ball shrugged off Harris's challenge to score.
