Wednesday 17th & Saturday 20th July 2024

Northwood 1 Colney Heath 0

The Woods visited the new 3G pitch at Everett Rovers in pre-season 2023 for the official opening and notched an 8-1 victory. In this midweek game, the Woods were the “home” team against Step 5 side Colney Heath who had actually beaten Northwood in pre-season a year earlier.

This time our squad of nineteen began to look more like a team than on previous outings and notched a 1-0 victory thanks to a scrambled goal that was knocked in by Jordan Brown for his first of pre-season. Colney’s lively front-line were kept at bay by a good, solid defensive display led by Jemale McKenzie alongside the Woods newly appointed skipper, Harry Gallagher.

Just four days later we visited Colney Heath for a quick return match against the same opposition. Finally, we got to play on grass too after a series of matches on 3G surfaces.

One welcome return was in goal with former Woods ‘keeper Dan Hosier making his first appearance having been otherwise engaged watching England in the Euros in Germany over previous weeks. Players were still being looked at though as the management team gave a run out to twenty players during the afternoon including several for the first time.

With that in mind, the whole squad did well yet again to keep another clean sheet against a useful side. This time the Woods recorded a 2-0 victory. A second penalty of pre-season was, this time, taken advantage of as Harry Gallagher fired it home early and there was a first goal from midfielder Prince Mbengui to wrap up the scoring as he netted from outside the box.
