NORTHWOOD LEAVE IT LATE FOR WIN
STEDFAST 3 NORTHWOOD 4
Although Northwood had both the wind and slope advantage in the first half in their first Harrow & Wembley League game of the season, they soon found themselves a goal in arrears.
However, a glorious through ball from Godley was converted by Byrne to level the scores. Although Northwood continued on top, Stedfast snatched another goal to lead 2-1 at the interval.
Second half play was marked by the persistence of the Northwood wingers, Perry and Rogers.
Byrne nodded home a Rogers cross to level, but once again Stedfast went ahead. Northwood made another comeback when Godley converted a Rogers cross five minutes from time.
Northwood attacked via the wings in the closing minutes, and a Rogers cross was converted by Byrne to complete his hat-trick and win the match.
Other results: Northwood Res. 7 (Brownlow 3, Greencell 2, Swallow, Wellner) Northolt 0; Northwood A 5 (Hardy 2, Blair, Neighbour, Whitney) Dale Rangers 2.
Northwood: R. Byrne, D. Byrne, J. Saunders, G. Harding, L. Kaufman, D. Jackman, B. Rogers D. Godley, D.P. Byrne, J. Parker, K. Perry.
