Northwood completed a "treble" over bottom club Hampton & Richmond Borough and at the same time notched their first clean sheet of the campaign with this comfortable victory despite only having a bare eleven players available.

They made a good start to the game at Beveree and were rewarded after 20 minutes when they were awarded a penalty and Oscar John fired home.

The home side were given a great chance to hit back though as they were also awarded a spot-kick but the Woods were grateful to goalkeeper Zak Bux who made an excellent save which kept his side ahead.

The second-half was only six minutes old when a lovely move involving Tom Reid, John and then Ben Crowder saw the latter find Sarin Thapa who turned, shot and scored the second of the game.

It proved enough to win the game though the Beavers did battle through to the end and Bux had to make another good save to ensure that he kept his clean sheet.

Just two games left now for the Woods, both against new leaders Beaconsfield Town who look likely to take the title.
