Late winner sees off Uxbridge
The Woods came from behind to beat old local rivals Uxbridge at Northwood Park last night, Karl Oliyide heading the winning goal in the 90th minute of the Calor League clash. The win lifted Mark Burgess's side into fifth place in the Central Division, their highest so far this season.
The close-fought encounter saw the sides evenly balanced through the first half, and the visitors went ahead five minutes after the restart. But Dave Lawrence slotted home the equaliser within sixty seconds, and after Woods had a goal ruled out in the closing stages through a narrow offside call, Oliyide's header from a corner won the points for Northwood.
The match report will appear later; the full colour matchday programme can still be ordered online from our publications section.
