Under 18s get off the mark...
Northwood's Under 18s have achieved some excellent cup victories this season - knocking out Enfield Town, Metropolitan Police and Woking in various competitions.
But until last night, they had failed to win in the Ryman Youth League all season. That duck was ended at the Robert Parker Stadium when two goals from skipper David Palmer helped the young Woods to a 2-1 victory at Ashford Town. Well done to the whole squad!!

Single goal wins it for Egham
The Woods yesterday played their first Saturday fixture at Northwood Park since mid-December - and it wasn't a g
ood homecoming as Egham Town took the Calor League points with a 1-0 victory.
Northwood, having played less than 48 hours earlier and with several injury problems, looked tired at times. Boss Mark Burgess gave a debut to 17-year-old youth team keeper Dan Daggett, and he made a couple of fine saves, but Woods - lacking injured top scorer Niko Muir - were uable to reply to Josh Andrew's 70th minute winning goal.
The match report and photos are here; the full colour matchday programme can still be ordered online from our publications section.
Dave Fox's reserve side won 2-0 at Newport Pagnell in the Suburban League, Steve Ward and Calvin Moses finding the net.

Woods lose in County Cup tie
Northwood's oft-postponed Middlesex Senior Cup quarter-final fixture away to Ryman Premier outfit Hampton & Richmond Borough finally went ahead at the Beveree Stadium last night - but the Woods went out of the competition after being on the end of a heavy 1-6 defeat.
The home side took an early lead only for Niko Muir to level on 11 minutes, but then Hampton took control and led 5-1 at the break before adding one more goal towards the end. The match report is here.
The reserves also played last night, going down 2-0 to Dunstable Town in a Suburban League fixture.

Woods back in action and take points
Northwood escaped the recent rain-ravaged fixture list this afternoon as they ran out 3-1 winners away to Leighton Town in a Calor League fixture.
All the goals came in the first half, Karl Oliyide putting Woods ahead with a fine solo effort, then a spot-kick from top scorer Niko Muir hit the crossbar but James Burgess headed home the rebound.
Leighton pulled a goal back with two minutes of the half remaining, only for Oliyide to quickly break again and shoot home number three. The match report will follow....
The clubs' second strings were also due to meet today, in a Suburban League fixture at Chestnut Avenue, but that game is postponed as the playing surface is still waterlogged.

Ryman cups semi-finals draws made
The draws were made today for the semi-finals of the two Ryman League Cup competitions that the Woods are still involved in.
If the Veterans side are successful in the Ryman Veterans Cup away at Waltham Forest on Wednesday 12th February they will have home advantage in the semi-finals as the winners have been drawn against either Leiston or Kingstonian, as they look to defend the trophy they won last year.
It's even harder for the Under 18s in the Lucas Fettes Cup. Their game at home to Woking has been postponed many times already and if they win when they finally get the game played, they still have to travel to Sutton United in the quarter-finals. They now also know that the winners of that will be away in the semi-finals to Burgess Hill Town.
