Match report by Ben Slater Back to reality in the league, after the midweek cup triumph, as the Ducks drop points in a crucial relegation six-pointer clash. The Ducks travelled to North London last Saturday to play against fellow strugglers, London Lions. The Lions, as they are known, were promoted to step 4 in the 2024/25 season through the Spartan South Midlands Premier Division playoffs. Before kickoff the London-based outfit sat on 9 points after 9 games (three higher
Back at The Meadow on Wednesday evening kick off 7:45pm as we take on Barton Rovers in the Southern League Division One Central. Based in Barton-le-Clay, Bedfordshire, Barton Rovers Football Club were founded in 1898 and have long been a familiar name on the Southern League non-league circuit, playing their home matches at Sharpenhoe Road. In recent seasons, Rovers have continued to compete at Step 4 of the National League System, combining experienced non-league players with
Social media is especially important to the club because Aylesbury United is not just about football, we are building a community. The media team connect the action on the pitch with supporters, volunteers, sponsors, local businesses and the wider town. Many supporters only spend a few hours with the club on a matchday. We help keep that relationship going throughout the week through team news, results, photographs, interviews, history, behind-the-scenes stories and supporter
Report by James Knight The Rebels were without a cause at Arbour Park last night as visitors Aylesbury United progressed to the next round of the Berks and Bucks FA Senior Cup after an emphatic win on penalties. Slough Town, being two steps above, would prove to be a huge test for Aylesbury United; Town made six changes from their previous XI that drew with Ebbsfleet United in their last league game; so some change but still a strong first team presence. Town piled on the pre
The Ducks travel to London Lions on Saturday 10th October kick off 3pm in the Pitching In Southern League Division One Central. London Lions began life as MALEX in 1995, formed by Maccabi Association London to provide a route into Saturday football and the national football pyramid. It joined Division One of the Hertfordshire Senior County League and was renamed London Lions in 1999. The Lions won the Hertfordshire Senior County League Division One in their first season under
This month’s update comes a little later than usual. With plenty happening on the pitch and a busy schedule keeping up with our extensive social media coverage, the last few weeks have certainly kept me occupied. On the Pitch The month started in disappointing fashion, with defeats to Hertford in the league and Takeley bringing our involvement in the FA Trophy to an end. The lads didn’t really do themselves justice in either game and, ultimately, we got what we deserved. Thre
Report by Ben Slater Three is the magic number! The Ducks conceded three again, losing 3-2 at home for the third time in two weeks. Aylesbury fell short once again last Sunday in what was an enthralling counter at The Meadow. The difficult run of games has been coming thick and fast for the Ducks, and last Sunday's clash versus Marlow was no different. The Blues, as they're known, travelled to Chesham, having only lost one of their first six league games. They sat in third pr
Back to cup action in the Berks and Bucks FA Senior County Cup away to Slough Town on Tuesday evening kick off 7:45pm. Slough Town FC, nicknamed The Rebels, have enjoyed a period of stability and progress after returning to their home town. The club moved into Arbour Park in 2016, ending many years without a permanent home in Slough. On the pitch, a major milestone arrived in 2017/18, when Slough won promotion from the Southern League through the play-offs, earning a place at
Report by James Knight On the Duck’s return to Chesham after victory at Hadley on Saturday, it was a tough contest against Waltham Abbey as Aylesbury United went three goals down in the first half; great character and perseverance was shown from the home side who managed to score 2 in the second but could not find the equaliser. These goals from James Bone and Finlay Reeves sadly could not undo the damage dealt from the visitors in front of a crowd of 127. United suffered an
Back at The Meadow on Sunday kick off 3pm as we take on Marlow FC in the Southern League Division One Central. Few non-league clubs can boast a history quite like Marlow FC. Founded in 1870, the Blues were among the original entrants in the very first FA Cup and reached the competition's semi-finals in 1881–82, giving the Buckinghamshire club a remarkable connection to the earliest days of English football. The Ducks come into today’s game on the back of a 3-2 defeat at home
Report by James Knight It was a great win on the road for the Ducks on Saturday as they defeated Hadley FC 3-1 after two goals from Bakary Daffeh, and George Cleveland also converted from the bench to secure 3 crucial points for the away side at Brickfield Lane. The Ducks rode their luck at times but were clinical when needed to end a poor run of form. Jack Wood was unavailable, so Kian Henry entered the side; so too did Lee Stobbs, who earned this start after impressing off
A quick turnaround for both teams as we take on Waltham Abbey at The Meadow on Wednesday evening in the Southern Leag ue Division One Central. Waltham Abbey nicknamed “The Abbotts”, were formed in 1944 and are managed by Marc Weatherstone. They were Southern League Central Division One Play-Off Runners Up in 2023-2024 and finished 3rd in the Isthmian League North Divsion last season before transferring back to the Southern League. The Ducks come into today’s game on the back
Report by James Knight It was a frustrating return to The Meadow for the Ducks yesterday as they endured a 3-2 loss to Royston Town. There was a good feeling among the Aylesbury faithful as we were back at home and the team showed good spirit to get back into the game to create a tense last 20 minutes, but it ultimately did not formulate into any points as Royston were more clinical in taking their chances and the Ducks could not get anything from a performance that they argu
Saturday 26th September @3pm sees Aylesbury United make the journey to Hadley FC in the Southern League Division Once Central. Both teams have struggled so far this season with the Ducks only points coming against Flackwell Heath whilst Hadley managed a 0-0 draw with Bliggleswade at the weekend. Aylesbury United go into this game following a 3-2 defeat at home to Royston Town where an improved performnace wasn't enough to get anything against another well organised side. The
By: Ben Slater Attendance: 139 A dismal day in Essex as the Ducks bow out of the FA Trophy for another year. The D ucks travelled to Takeley FC last Saturday for the FA Trophy second round qualifying. This came after the thriller at the end of August, where the team came out triumphant against Sittingbourne 6-4, in the first qualifying round. Takeley, also known as the Blue Army, play their football in the Isthmian League North Division. This came after promotion from step
It's back to Southern League action and our long awaited return to The Meadow on Sunday 20th September 2026, with an earlier kick off time of 1pm where we face Royston Town FC who rejoin the league following relegation from step 3 last season.

Known as “The Crows” they were f
An Interview with Paul ‘Batch’ Batchelor – By James Knight I had the absolute pleasure to have a chat with Aylesbury United Manager Paul Batchelor or 'Batch' as we all know him, to learn a little more about his journey in football and what he loves about the club. We also looked towards Aylesbury United's next fixture against Takeley in the FA Trophy. Batch's road to managing the club was a long one, but worth it to now be in the position that he is in: 'I kind of stopped pla
Match report by David Figg After making it through to the 2nd Qualifying Round of the FA Trophy with a dramatic 6-4 home win over Pitching In Isthmian South East Division side Sittingbourne 3 days earlier, Aylesbury United made it back-to-back wins as they gained their first league points of the season with a hard-earned 1-0 home win over Flackwell Heath in their Pitching In Southern League Division 1 Central clash in front of a crowd of 267 at Holloways Park, Beaconsfield
By James Knight Following The Duck's win against Flackwell Heath at Holloways Park, Aylesbury United travelled to Hertingfordbury Park yesterday to face an inform Hertford Town side. Hertford have started the season well after picking up 8 points from a possible 15. There was a new young duck in the backline yesterday as we welcomed 18-year old defender Archie Quinlan to the team. The young centre back comes on loan from League One Wycombe Wanderers, making his first appearan
Saturday 12th September sees Aylesbury United return to FA Trophy action in the second qualifying round away to Isthmian North side Takeley FC. One of the proudest moments in Takeley's history came in 2025, when they secured promotion to Step 4 of the National League System after defeating Woodford Town 2-0 in the Essex Senior League Play-Off Final in front of a record crowd of over 1,000 supporters. Promotion marked a historic milestone, earning the club its place in the Is
