NORTHWOOD’S FIRST POINT
NORTH GREENFORD 2 NORTHWOOD 2
Northwood gained their first Middlesex League point on Saturday when they held a strong North Greenford side.
The visitors were two up with 20 minutes to go but North Greenford managed to salvage a point and deprive Northwood of their first win in their new league.
Within minutes of the start Byrne (D.P.) broke through the Greenford defence to power a low shot past the keeper.
At the break it was 1-0 to Northwood and they increased their lead in the second period when Madigan blasted a shot from 25 yards' after the visitors had been awarded a free-kick.
Northwood were to be deprived of a point as the defence made errors.
Northwood: R. Byrne, D. Byrne, Wickison, Gould, Madigan, Dibbens, P. Roche, Millward, D.P. Byrne, Pearce, Horsford.
Ian Harvey, Ruislip Manor midfield player, has signed for Northwood, as has Peter Bailey, a former Hayes and Southall full-back.
