Southern Counties Floodlit Youth League – Kick off 7.30pm

‘Wood’s’ under 18’s suffered their first league defeat of the season last night (Monday) when Luton travelled to Meadow Park and secured a 1 – 0 victory.

Boreham Wood Football Club are delighted to announce that two of their young players represented the English Colleges’ FA against the Welsh Schools’ FA last Monday, 16^th January 2012.

Both Charlie Hunter and Ruddock Yala played the last half hour against the Welsh Schoolboys and added quality to the ECFA side that were already 2 – 0 down. The game ended 2 – 0 and the two boys gave a good account for themselves.

PASE Academy Head Coach Luke Garrard said “I watched the game and thought the boys made a real difference when they came on with half hour to go. Over the last 3 seasons we’ve had five boys play for the English Colleges’ and they all have represented the Club tremendously”.

Garrard continued “We have lots of talent coming through our ranks at the moment, so in years to come we could have many more International players representing English Colleges’ and Schools’”.

Charlie and Ruddock’s next game will be against the Welsh Colleges’ in February in Bangor before flying to Italy in March to play in a European International Tournament against the likes of Italy, Slovenia, Slovakia and Romania.

Filton College 2 – 3 Boreham Wood (Conel College) A.E.T.
Wednesday 18^th January 2012 – Kick off 1.30pm
English Colleges’ Football Association National Cup

Boreham Wood’s Under 19’s progressed narrowly through to the next round of the English Colleges’ FA National Cup, after beating Filton College 3 – 2 after extra time.

‘Wood’s’ youngsters were sloppy throughout the first half, but took the lead when Sam Doolan headed the ball into the net after a Charlie Hunter free kick was fumbled by the Filton goalkeeper.

However Filton equalised shortly after when ‘Wood’ goalkeeper Jake Wilton was deemed to carry the ball outside his box to give away a free kick and, the subsequent free kick was slotted in to level the score. Before half time, a defensive mix up allowed a Filton striker through on goal, only to be brought down inside the box by ‘Wood’ keeper Jake Wilton, who was subsequently booked. However Jake redeemed himself with a great save, when he plucked the ball out of the bottom left hand corner, to keep the score 1 – 1 going into the interval.

Boreham Wood started the second half much more brightly, but they were dealt a devastating blow when Harvey Scott-Morris was given his marching orders for an off the ball incident. Minutes later Filton took the lead and it looked as if ‘Wood’ were going to be knocked out of the competition they are current reigning Champions of.

But ‘Wood’ didn’t give in, and after a last gasp onslaught, the Filton defence finally succumbed when Callum Martin’s right footed volley found the top left hand corner after good hold up play from Lee Close, and so the game went to extra time.

‘Wood’ kept their discipline and shape and were patient to await the chance they needed to take lead. This chance came late in the first half of extra time when Captain Charlie Hunter found front man Robert Hastings from inside his own half. Hastings took the ball down on the edge of the Filton box and passed the ball to Callum Martin to finish expertly in the bottom right hand corner.

Late in the game the Filton goalkeeper was shown a second yellow card after handling outside his box. ‘Wood’ remained resilient and showed great attitude and character to hold onto their lead.

Boreham Wood have progressed to the next round of the English Colleges’ FA National Cup where they will face Hartpury College at home, date to be confirmed.

Squad: J Wilton, L Close, S Doolan, R Yala, L Wallace, L Griffin, C Hunter, M McCann, H Scott-Morris, C Martin, R Hastings. Subs: T Winston, D Laughton, D Loveday, M Roles, T Mashingindze

Goal scorers: C Martin (2), S Doolan.

Boreham Wood’s Under 18’s travelled to Berkhamstead on Wednesday night for their first game of the New Year, picking up all 3 points to continue their unbeaten league record this campaign.

‘Wood’ took the lead after just 3 minutes when front man Steve O’Connor scored from the penalty spot. The ‘Wood’ youngsters soon doubled the score line when Sam Doolan picked out striker Dean Rubinia from a free kick, who turned and finished with ease.

‘Wood’ continued their dominance and widened their advantage with a third, when Steve O’Connor calmly finished Matt Roles’ cross to claim his brace.  

It looked like ‘Wood’ were going to enter the interval with a 3 goal advantage, but Berkhamstead clawed a goal back just before half time from the penalty spot, when defender Billy Goggin was deemed to be holding a Berkhamstead player inside the box.

‘Wood’ showed a mature second half performance by remaining resilient and soaked up any Berkhamstead pressure. Boreham Wood currently sit one point behind league leaders Newport Pagnell with 5 games in hand, after recording 6 wins and 1 draw from their 7 games so far.

Squad: J Wilton, T Mashingindze, B Goggin, S Doolan, M Roles, M McCann, H Scott Morris, L Balogun, R Hastings, D Rubinia, S O’Connor Subs: D Laughton, T Winston, J Abass, G Hunter, K Brown.
