They say lightning doesn’t strike twice, unfortunately for the Under 18’s it did. After losing to Uxbridge away in the FA Youth Cup it was our turn to host Uxbridge for our second league game of the season.

The Woods started the game brightly and after 30 minutes were rewarded with a well-taken goal by Mayvin Vigneswaran. Northwood were unable to build on that though as Uxbridge had a good spell of pressure after the home side had taken the lead, and managed to equalise just before the break.

The second half started very positively for Northwood, though, and we should have scored our second goal of the game but it never came as the Uxbridge keeper pulled off a couple of great saves.

The inevitable happened, and the visitors went up the other end to made it 2-1 after 70 minutes. As with the previous week, with Northwood trying to get the equaliser, Uxbridge broke away on two separate occasions to put the game to bed and win by a 4-1 margin.

The scoreline didn’t really reflect how close the match was and Northwood didn’t deserve to lose by the margin they did.
