A cold first weekend in March is nothing new these days and with a little panic over the rain fortunately our second set of semi finals were played and very importantly the probably title deciding Premier Division game

Aylesbury Vikings unfortunately were unable to join their Reserves in reaching a final despite batting hard with Great Missenden. The Miss sealing the game 3-1 eventually, Vikings keeper Daryl Gearing keeping his side in the game early on before allowing a week Charlie Brooks shot to bobble past him for 1-0, there were a number more missed chances to kill of the game before midway through the second half Brooks slotted home his second for 2-0. Vikings grabbed a quick goal back for 2-1 but couldn’t hold on for more than two minutes as Brooks completed his hat-trick on another counter. Wendover will be Missendens opponents after they squeezed through 2-1 over Elmhurst who will be aggrieved they missed two many guilt edge chances and were denied penalties. Ben Porter put Wendover ahead with a smart 20 yard finish but Amjad Mirza's wind assisted free-kick looped in before the break. The game soon went end to end as neither team wanted extra time and stalwart Bruno Passaro scored with almost the final touch of the game to snatch a 2-1 win and a place in the final. This game is scheduled Monday 21st March at Tring Athletic.
