Robert Woodcock was a redundant keeper as K&P launched waves of attacks.
Three minutes after the break it was 3-0. From another well-worked corner Chris Henderson weaved his way towards goal and curled his shot home.
Stone wrapped up a sporting tie which was controlled superbly by the Aylesbury referee Andy Gillett when he finished off a scintillating move by Russell Stock and man of the match Henderson - tucking the ball into an unguarded net on 67 minutes.
At Flackwell Heath, the Yachtsmen's Paul Cook opened the scoring in the 10th minute but Flackwell Heath equalised on 15 minutes with an own goal from keeper Scott Howie.
Two second-half goals from Cook and Steve Spriggs saw Wroxham through.
