A young Woods side put up a gutsy performance against a very good Wealdstone team on Thursday evening and ended up comprehensively beaten 5-1. From the outset it looked like Northwood would be the team in the ascendency when a shot from Stefan Khailat brought out a fine save from ex Woods junior Troy Roach.
It wasn’t to be. The speed of the Stones front runners upset the Woods’ defence all evening, and the first goal arrived on 15 minutes when a wicked deflection from Freistone's shot beat Keiron Sills. Five minutes later it was 2-0 when a lightning attack saw the ball run through to Carter, who lobbed the keeper from 12 yards.
The Woods got into the game towards the end of the half and reduced the arrears with the best goal of the night. Khailat took a ball on his chest, with his back to goal, controlled it, spun around, beat three defenders in a space of five yards and rifled the ball low into the corner. The Stones immediately responded and Victoriano saw his shot rebound off the crossbar in the final minute of the half.
The second half became a one-way onslaught on the Woods goal and Sills made numerous saves. However he was beaten three more times, the first on the hour when substitute Ogbara scored after a clearance hit him and rebounded into the net. 15 minutes later the impressive Ogbara was too quick for the covering defence and made it 4-1, before Talbot raced down the wing, shot across goal and Billy Myers unfortunately turned the ball into his own goal.
