The Woods slipped to their third successive defeat and again it was their defensive abilities that let them down.

Camberley looked strong at Krooner Park and really took the game to the Woods in the first half, creating plenty of chances and they took the lead after just eleven minutes.

However, the Woods showed plenty of ability in the final third too and they were level after twenty two minutes when Oscar John smashed in an equaliser.

But Camberley were given a bit of help to get back in front when they were awarded a soft penalty on three minutes and they built up a two-goal lead by half-time with a third two minutes from the break.

When the Reds notched a fourth goal on the hour it looked like it might be a matter of damage limitation but the Woods then showed great character to pull a goal back through Will Robinson, son of former first team player Colin Robinson, who made 70 appearances for the Woods between 1995 and 1998.

Substitute Stanley Thompson managed to head in a third goal with twelve minutes remaining and that set up plenty of interest in the closing stages but the home side managed to hold on to their narrow lead and take all three points.
