Northwood and Egham take a point each
The Woods took an Evo-Stik Southern League Central Division point this evening when they drew 2-2 with Egham Town at Chestnut Avenue in freezing conditions, on the coldest November night for six years!
Egham, in the charge of ex Woods manager Gary Meakin, took the lead with a headed goal after just four minutes, Ryan Debattista levelling just before the break.
But the visitors were in front again from the penalty spot two minutes into the second period, only for Luke Heneghan's cross to be put into his own net by Wes Daly to level things up again, and that was how things remained in an entertaining contest. The match report will be online in due course.

Woods take the points at Ashford
The Woods made it three victories within a week as they ran out 2-0 winners at Ashford Town in an Evo-Stik Southern League fixture this afternoon.
Louis Stead fired Northwood ahead with a cracking 30 yard free-kick after 13 minutes - that coming after Ashford had missed a spot-kick in the opening five minutes.
And a well-worked goal superbly finished by Louis Bircham in the 53rd minute effectively finished off the hosts, and in the end the Woods were good value for their win. The match report and photos are here.
