Thame United are back in the Pitching In Southern League Central Division One action this Saturday when they travel to Chesham to play Aylesbury United. This will be the third meeting of the two teams this season. The first was at the start of the season Thame beat Aylesbury at home in the FA Cup preliminary round 3 - 0, this was both teams first competitive match of the 2024 / 2025 season. The first league encounter came in November when Thame won 4 - 0 at The ASM Stadium. Dan West and Harry Alexander scored two early goals with Jefferson Louis and Hayden Beadle, adding two late goals to secure the victory. Both teams have improved considerably on last season and have already surpassed the points they gained, with Thame now mathematically safe from relegation, a far cry from finishing second bottom last season. After a good run of form Aylesbury have lost their last three outings, the latest a 0 - 1 home defeat to Stotfold. While Thame come into the game on the back of a 4 - 4 home draw against fellow playoff contenders Hadley FC, who were 3 - 0 up after 30 minutes. The draw sees the gap between third and sixth place now extend to 9 points albeit Thame have three games in hand. While Aylesbury in eighth place will be looking to close the game on their near neighbours. Kick off at the Meadow Chesham is 3pm.
