After recording their first competitive win since 19th February with a great 4-1 away league win over Milton Keynes Irish 3 days earlier, Aylesbury United's hopes of making it back-to-back wins were dashed as they fell to a 0-2 home defeat by Flackwell Heath in their Pitching In Southern League Division 1 Central clash at The Meadow, Chesham.

Results elsewhere on Bank Holiday Monday had left The Ducks in 14th place in the table, level on points with 13th placed Flackwell Heath with Flackwell ahead on goal difference.

Meanwhile, Flackwell went into the game on the back of a 1-0 home win over Uhlsport Hellenic League Premier Division side Tuffley Rovers from Gloucestershire in the Emirates FA Cup Preliminary Round on 16th August, which had taken their unbeaten run in all competitions to 3 games.

The first chance came Aylesbury's way at the end of the 2nd minute when Fabian Garcia's low forward ball from the halfway line on the right found Remel Larwood who won a challenge with Lewis Pegg. The ball broke to the inside right of the box where the recovered Pegg appeared to trip Larwood but referee Rikki Woolford said no penalty.

Flackwell's first chance came in the 14th minute when Matt Ayres' free kick from 22 yards out on the right to the near post found former Duck Callum Mapley, whose header from 10 yards was gathered by Ducks keeper Jack Hopwood.

The visitors went close right at the start of the 26th minute when James Ayres' low ball infield from 30 yards out found Jack Shakespeare, who took a touch to control before sliding a low diagonal forward ball to Charlie Bacon inside the left of the box and his low first time left foot shot from 18 yards was held at his right hand post by Hopwood.

The Ducks suffered a blow when Charley Tuttle was injured and was replaced in the 32nd minute by Liam Batchelor-Morgan.

The hosts went close in the 42nd minute when Batchelor-Morgan won the ball on the left edge of his own box and drove forward before sending a long ball over the top to Larwood, who ran on and rounded Mapley before having his left foot angled shot from 10 yards deflected for a corner. The resulting flag kick from the left by Sonny French found Kian Henry at the far post, whose downward header from 4 yards was blocked on the line before the ball was cleared by Flackwell keeper Jack Brooker.

What proved to be the last chance of the first half came the visitors' way in the 43rd minute when a long Flackwell clearance was picked up by James Ayres on the right, who ran on before having his right foot shot from 25 yards just about blocked by Hopwood.

Then in the 59th minute, Flackwell took the lead when Matt Ayres' low ball down the right from the halfway line found Bacon, who took a touch 35 yards out and cut inside Batchelor-Morgan before seeing his left foot shot from 18 yards towards Hopwood's left hand post dropped by the Ducks keeper with the ball rolling into his left hand corner. 1-0 Flackwell

Then right at the end of the 77th minute, it was 2-0 when Larwood gave the ball away on the edge of the centre circle in his own half to Grant, who ran forward and made a jinking run towards the box before having his right foot shot from 25 yards deflected by Jack Wood into Hopwood's right hand corner. However, the goal was Grant's. 2-0 Flackwell
