Woods travel to Flackwell Heath for Tuesday’s League game
Northwood are back on the road on Tuesday evening when, weather permitting, they play away to Flackwell Heath in a Pitching-In Southern League Division One Central fixture.
This will be the 20th time that the two clubs have met, but the first time since an Isthmian League division three fixture in 1997 – which Woods won 4-1 (pictured here)! Flackwell Heath have made a great start to their first season back at Step 4 since 2007, and are currently holding third place in the division. Northwood have a decent record since Gary Meakin took charge, and the boss will be looking for his side to continue with that on Tuesday.
Kick-off is 7.45 p.m. at Wilks Park, Heath End Road,
Flackwell Heath, Bucks HP10 9EA.

Troy Perez-Duah's early penalty sees off AFC Dunstable
The Woods collected three important Pitching-In Southern League Central Division points this afternoon when they edged home with a 1-0 victory against AFC Dunstable at The Skyline Roofing Stadium.
And the only goal of the game came as early as the fifth minute, when Northwood skipper Troy Prerez-Duah, having been tripped in the box, picked himself up to confidently slot the spot-kick past the keeper. Gary Meakin's side had to work hard at times to keep Dunstable at bay, but they did enough to collect the win, ahead of another home game - against Welwyn Garden City - on New Year's Day.
The match photos and report are here.

A surprise recent departure from the club was Archie James, who has been almost ever-present in the squad since he joined Woods from Oxhey Jets in January this year, making 37 appearances and scoring six goals. He is currently the Woods top scorer for the 2024-25 season.
Archie is moving out to Vietnam for a job opportunity and we wish him well in his future endeavours. Hopefully he will be able to find a club out there to play for!
