On a still evening in Northwood our lads attacked from the offset of this F.A. Youth Cup first qualifying round tie. It was clear that because of Northwood’s pace up front Hanworth would face a difficult evening.

That’s exactly how the match turned out, and after twenty four minutes Isaac Alawode scored an absolute cracker with a shot from outside of the box.

Five minutes later it should have been two but the Hanworth goalkeeper pulled one of the Woods’ players down and should have been sent off. Constant pressure followed but half-time was reached with the home side just the one goal up.

The second period started in sensational style for Northwood when Aaron Garrick scored after just twenty seconds. The pattern of the game was now set, with Hanworth pushing forward and Northwood attacking on the break.

Hanworth, despite huffing and puffing got no change, from the Woods’ defence whatsoever, and it was no surprise when Michael Elderfield scored on the hour. Then another breakaway saw the same player hit a post a couple of minutes later.

One more breakaway just after saw Darius upended by the Hanworth goalkeeper and, again, quite why he wasn’t sent off having already been booked no one knows. Justice was done, though, as Matt Cooper scored with a great free kick to make it four.

Game over and Northwood march on to the second qualifying round, where they will meet Ashford Town.
