Not for the first time this season, the Woods were weakened with a number of players unavailable and subsequently suffered a heavy away defeat in the Isthmian Youth League.
Both goalkeepers were ruled out, with Mondays being a difficult day to field a full-strength side for a non-Academy set-up like ourselves but the Woods were able to recruit a young 16-year-old keeper, Jack Gillett, for the game.
Sadly, for him, our defence was unable to protect him during the game and things went wrong from an early stage.
The recent 9-0 defeat at Marlow must have been in the side’s mind when the goals started flowing but in fact it was 9-0 by half-time and the second-half was an improvement, though Uxbridge did perhaps drop a gear after the break.
It leaves the Woods on the bottom of the table but still with the knowledge that, on their day, they can give everyone in the League a good game. Skipper Lewis Batten has already made first-team appearances this season so there are plenty of positives to reflect on too.
