Wood soon ran out winners after Dan McAteer saved Oxfords 4th penalty for Karl brown who was tremendous all game to finish with real quality to put Boreham Wood through to the last 8 of the Football Conference Youth Alliance Cup.

Manager Luke Garrard was pleased after a hard week “that was majority of the boys third game of the week, the likes of Brown, Hastings, Doolan, Mashingaidze & Thompson were into their third game in 5days, they showed a true intelligence in the manner in which they played the game, ball domination was key as they had to contain their energy. We now progress through to the last eight and have shown some real quality when playing in the cup, we know how much a cup run energises a squad and it keeps the excite of the season going, were now in the quarters of two Nationals and look to progress further in the rounds, we face Maidstone in the next round and will be a tough test but we will be ready and focused in the pursuit of the Semis”
