From the moment Sarah Cole forced the ball home in the opening minute the Ducks never looked back and the match was over as a contest within twenty minutes as captain Gemma Franklin and last season's top scorer Kay Norton scored twice each to make the score 5-0.
In truth United could have scored more as the Ascot goal led a charmed life for a period before Leigh Reed resumed the scoring from close range and Franklin completed her hat-trick shortly before the break.
The one way traffic continued after the interval as Aylesbury created chance after chance. Reed notched her second within minutes of the restart before Gemma Franklin added two more in quick succession to take the score into double figures.
The United defence may have had a quiet afternoon but they remained focussed throughout to record their first clean sheet of the season and at the other end the Ducks still weren't through as Kay Norton completed her hat-trick, turning in Suzie Cole's goal bound effort.
Not to be outdone Cole senior finally got her name on the score sheet with a low drive and fellow midfielder Sarah Flight completed the rout with a looping effort before the final whistle blew to put the Berkshire side's players out of their misery.
A fantastic start to the season but United will face much sterner tests in the weeks ahead.
