8 Northwood v Egham Town ON THIS DAY 2009

Despite racing into a two-goal lead – thanks to two excellent efforts from Eugene Ofori (pictured in the game) – Northwood had to settle for a draw in this F.A. Cup first qualifying round tie against Wingate & Finchley. Woods started the game strongly, and probably should have added to their tally in the first half, before the visitors pulled one back from a controversially-awarded penalty just before the interval. Wingate levelled the scores twelve minutes into the second half, and despite both sides having chances of grabbing the winner, it’was back to Summers Lane for the replay the following Tuesday evening. Northwood: Mitch Swain, Gary Meakin (Mark Burgess 46m), Gary Burrell, Chris Seeby, Michael Peacock, Brad Hewitt, Rob Ursell (Garry Senior 88m), John Christian, Eugene Ofori, Anthony Page, Hugo Figueiredo.

NORTHWOOD 0 WESTWOOD ROAD, ST IVES

The first-ever meeting of these two sides at senior level went narrowly the way of the home side after they nosed ahead in the early stages and the Woods were just unable to peg them back in a close-fought contest, writes Alan Evans. The home side started like a train. In the very first minute Tom Knowles did well on the left and cut the ball back for Mason Spence to strike for goal and Joseph was straight into the action to dive and palm the ball over the bar. It was the full-back Spence who bombed forward again a few minutes later bit this time shot wide and then more action down that left flank saw Knowles exchange passes with Ross Paterson and force Joseph into a good stop at his near-post. And there was still only ten minutes on the clock when the pressure finally told. Joseph saved again from Ryan Sharman but the defence failed to clear and when Paterson latched onto it just outside the box the ball skidded off the wet surface and this time bounced through the hands of the diving ‘keeper. After that onslaught the Woods gradually began to get more of a grip on the game and began to threaten in attack with about half an hour on the clock. Evans Kouassi led the way with a pacy run that saw him find Meshach Williams who flicked the ball on to put Kouassi into the box. It was a great chance but he placed the ball wide of the near-post rather than shooting across goalkeeper Niall Conroy. Two minutes later the Woods won a free-kick in dangerous position but Kouassi was wide again with his effort and then there looked a certain equaliser on 36 minutes as Kouassi flew down the right, knocked in a centre that appeared to only need a touch from Martin at the far post. But he took an extra touch and was then quickly crowded out as he tried to find an angle to force the ball home when a cut back looked more favourable. Pat Adamson then got forward down the left well to feed Williams whose strike was gathered high by Conroy before Pat Kelly put in a cross which was too near the ‘keeper and then Adamson again attacked well but shot over the bar. Still the Woods swept forward and just before the break Kouassi knocked in an excellent cross which was met by Williams with a fine downward header which Conroy pushed up and onto the crossbar to keep City in the lead at half-time. The Woods were hoping for much of the same after the break but it was Cambridge who started the half better again. Joseph had to push out an accurate free-kick from Knowles and then another marauding run from Spence saw him combine with Lewis Wilson to fire for goal but again the Trinidad & Tobago Under-20s ‘keeper Joseph was equal to it. On 55 minutes Kouassi tried to go it alone, cutting in from the left and working to find some space before shooting but it was straight at the ‘keeper who saved comfortably while at the other end Joseph saved similarly from Ryan Towner’s effort. Northwood were still playing the better football but the final pass or shot seemed to be lacking. Some good work got the ball into the box and when McDonnell’s touch fell to Williams his effort was well over the bar. Then Kouassi burst down the right again and knocked in a tempting cross which eluded everyone, was scrambled out as far as Adamson but his strike was again saved by Conroy in goal. Substitutions were made on 73 minutes with Kojo Gyimah and Jean-Paul Antwi both getting their first action of the season for the Woods but it failed to refresh the Woods and actually stopped their momentum. Salim Relizani had a couple of efforts on goal which sailed wide while home substitute Oliver Snaith wasn’t far away with a low drive. Kouassi had the last chance for Northwood but he frustratingly shot wide two minutes from time and Towner went closer for City at least forcing Joseph into one last save, pushing the ball wide of the post to complete a good game for the Woods ‘keeper.

18 Northwood v Egham Town NORTHWOOD 2 MONDAY 28TH AUGUST 2017 EVO-STIK LEAGUE SOUTH HAYES & YEADING UTD 0 NORTHWOOD PARK

By Guest Reporter Dev Bajwa

Northwood looked to keep their good run of form going with a strong performance against Hayes and Yeading this bank holiday. With games coming thick and fast, the players had been instructed to play a “high pressure” game as they considered themselves the “supremely fitter” outfit when matched against their older, though more experienced, opponents.

In a game, which benefitted from a very spirited start, the Northwood faithful would have been encouraged by the energetic showing of Tayshan Hayden-Smith, with the pacey attacker regularly attacking the Hayes back line in the early running. With Northwood attempting a variety of set- piece plays whenever the chance presented themselves, Hayes were well matched to deal with any pressure.

The home side, however looked continually threatening with right-back Pat Kelly and marauding centre-midfielder Evans Kouassi pulling the strings, searching for that opening goal. And without either side having a clear-cut chance for the first 15 minutes, up stepped Tommy Boxer in a sea of white shirts who was able to benefit from some poor Hayes defending to head over the advancing Jack Smith to give the Woods the lead.

This advantage encouraged the Woods even further to stamp their authority on the game with Wilson Chingoka and Kouassi forever causing problems for the ageing Hayes back line. Then, merely 8 minutes after conceding the first goal, the Hayes net rippled once again after a magnificent solo run from that man Kouassi before he scuffed a shot that crept past the diving Smith. 2-0 up now and the Woods are cruising to their second victory in a row, especially with the visiting crowd growing ever more restless with their Hayes players.

Following a short water break it was anything but business as usual for the home side as the all-white Hayes came storming forward through Spyros Mentis and Gurkan Gokmen, the latter of whom brought out the best in goalkeeper Harry Voss just minutes before the break.

The Woods went into half-time very satisfied but the same couldn’t be said for their opponents. My guess is their manager must have riled them up at half time as Hayes came storming out the blocks at the beginning of the second half. But each time they were confronted by the man-mountain that is Harry Voss who was dealing with everything comfortably.

The same must also be said for Barnet loanee Lewis Hobbs who showed what his parent club was missing after some excellent positional play to deny and frustrate the opposition. Such frustration became apparent in Hayes’ own captain, Mentis who, after having already been booked in the first half for a late challenge on Williams, was flirting with the law again with a few late challenges flying about the pitch.

Hayes were as lucky to end the game with 11 men as Northwood were to get their clean sheet. And in the end, a result that warrants Voss’ outstanding performance in goal, the Woods came away with a 2-0 victory to the delight of the West London faithful.
