Dunstable Town U18’s returned to winning ways with a hardworking 3-2 win at Aylesbury Vale Dynamos on Thursday night.

It was a tough game against a strong opponent who pushed Town all the way. Injuries and illness have played a big part in the recent form of the team and continued to do so with several players still out and Tyrelle Joseph suspended

Alfie Young almost opened the scoring in the 4th minute when one on one with the Dynamos keeper but was denied by a good save.

Dunstable went behind nine minutes later when a header was converted at the back post.

They equalised in the 28th minute when Isaac Babalola chested the ball into the path of Owen Russell who fired home from the edge of the box.

Five minutes before half time Town took the lead when a Luis Ribeiro-Nso shot was saved but Babalola scored with the follow up.

Ribeiro-Nso then had a goal ruled out for offside just before the end of the first 45 minutes.

Aylesbury came out quick off the blocks in the second period and drew level five minutes in.

On the hour mark Dunstable regained the lead when great work by Elliot Green who pressed high to win a throw, took it quickly to Babalola who laid the ball off to Russell who finished well.

Seven minutes later Babalola headed against the post from a great cross by Russell.
