The home side`s slim chance of getting something from the game then disappeared completely on the hour when striker Jordan Brown received a second yellow card and was promptly given his marching orders. Ten minutes later a trademark Matt Sysum bullet-like header from Sean Wood`s corner made it 3-0 giving the United defender an impressive haul of 13 goals for the campaign. By now the game had turned into a training session for the Red and Whites, Grant made a flying save from Sloggett, Chambers and midfield dynamo Nick Stanley pulled shots wide and Wood ballooned a `sitter` over the crossbar with only Grant to beat. United continued to ping the ball around for fun, Grant was in the thick of the action again pulling off a wonderful fingertip save from Sloggett`s volley and then somehow got down to save an angled drive from the same player a few minutes later. Such was United`s dominance, substitute goalkeeper Conor Thompson came on in the closing stages for Mann and neat skills by the burly stopper nearly got himself on the scoresheet but his deflected shot bounced kindly into the arms of Grant. It was a positive finish by United who suffered just two defeats in the final 16 games and the shut-out in Buckinghamshire was an impressive 20th clean sheet of the season.
