AFC came out of the blocks from the start as Lee Burgoyne fired in a corner which took a deflection for a Jack Sunderland own goal on only three minutes.

It was no surprise AFC extended their lead when Archie Ryan fired in a thunderbolt from fully 30 yards after 12 minutes, before Stefan Tracey deflected a great cross in from Burgoyne to make three soon afterwards.

Stewart King pulled one back from Tring on the half hour, but Dale Turney scored from close range after 41 minutes.

The goal of the game arrived just before the break as a four man move resulted in Hayden Wills fired home on the volley into the far corner.

AFC had to weather some expected pressure from Tring in the second half and conceded a soft penalty after 58 minutes, but the game was finally put to be when Tracey scored his second in the closing stages.
