U18's are League 1 Champions!

Having played eighteen games Aston won fifteen, drawn one and lost only two and being undefeated since October 2nd our U18s have finished on a high to win the SBYL Division 1 title

The season probably hinged on the teams determination away at 3rd placed Wendover when, due to players being unavailable for a number of reasons, they played the entire game with ten men turning out 2-1 winners with a memorable performance.

Nip and tuck at the top with Chalfont Saints Athletic for most of the season, Aston sealed the league with a decisive 4-0 home win against Haddenham Youth, 2 goals apiece for John Kelleher and Chris Stapleton.

Needing just a point going into the last game a thoroughly professional performance meant there was no need to check the result for Chalfont who could only manage a draw at Aylesbury Town Corinthians giving Aston a 5 point margin as Champions.

Manager James Wood along with the players was delighted with the win and now has a league cup Semi-Final v Bourne End to look forward to in the hope of pushing for the double.
