The Woods signed off for the season with an excellent result away win at Champions Beaconsfield; their best away win since 2010.
They got off to a fine start when Nicholas Casteluber set up Ben Crowder for a fine finish after just nine minutes but Beaconsfield were level on 20 minutes and it needed a strike from skipper Joe Reade to put the Woods back in front seven minutes later.
Oscar John, playing his last game as an Under 18, then put the Woods further ahead only for the home side to counter with another so the Woods led 3-2 with 35 minutes gone. The game continued to be very open and just two minutes later Tom Reid put Crowder in on goal and he fired home his second of the game to give Northwood a comfortable two-goal advantage at the break.
Beaconsfield started the second half on the front-foot but the Woods hit them on the break and substitute Noah Softleigh-Moore capitalised on a goalkeeper error to add a fifth on 51 minutes and the Woods were well in control. The game went much quieter but there was still time for a sixth and final goal after 78 minutes when Casteluber scored his first goal for the club with a fine solo effort.
