It’s the final Pitching In Isthmian League South Central game of a difficult season for the Woods, when Ascot United visit The Skyline Roofing Stadium this afternoon, kick-off 3.00 p.m.

Ascot are making their first ever visit to Northwood, having been promoted last summer as champions of the Combined Counties League, and they were also winners of the FA Vase at Wembley. Ascot manager Jamie Tompkins is a former Northwood youth player; he was a member of our Allied Counties League side who completed a League and Cup double in 2007/08, although he only made one first team appearance. Ascot have enjoyed a comfortable mid-table first campaign at step four, and they defeated the Woods by a single goal on their Racecourse ground back in December.

Northwood boss Ben Bukowski commented ahead of the game: “I’d like to thank everyone who has attended a match in support of us this year, whether it be home or away, one or every game. We appreciate you always and will continue to give you everything.”

Admission costs: Adults £10, concessions £5, with Under 16s admitted free. The matchday programme will be on sale in the C & G Scaffolding clubhouse and at the turnstiles, priced £2. Please note: cash only!

Don’t forget to join us in the clubhouse after the game for our Annual Presentation Evening, which gets underway around 7.00 p.m.

The Woods have been crowned Champions of the East Division of the Allied Counties Youth League after the side were awarded the points from an away game at Chalfont St Peter that was cancelled on the day as the Saints were unable to raise a team.

There is still much to play for, though, as winning the division means that they will compete in the Champions Cup competition with a home semi-final match game against either Walton & Hersham or Camberley Town from the South Division.

Northwood Under 18s have also reached the Final of the Allied Counties Youth League Cup, and will meet Badshot Lea in the final on Wednesday 8th May at Ascot United FC's Racecourse Ground.

Our congratulations to manager Ryan Young and his management team of Marc Harding, Jamie Barry, Kevin Lawrence and Derek Young as well as the whole squad on the title success and best wishes for the games to come!

Northwood beat Hillingdon Borough 2-1 at home this evening to extend their winning margin at the top, skipper Joe Reade and Jayden Williams scoring the goals.

The 94th minute of the third Pitching In Isthmian League South Central game in six days proved just too much for the Woods this evening, when Westfield's late 2-1 win clinched a play-offs spot for the Surrey outfit.

Ben Bukowski's squad put on a great performance, creating a string of chances, and they took the lead on 65 minutes when Harry McCorkell netted his first goal for the club. However, Westfield equalised with ten minutes left on the clock before grabbing that late, late winner.

Battling Northwood recover from three-goal arrears at the break to share the Pitching In Isthmian League South Central points in a 3-3 draw away to Guernsey this afternoon in their penultimate away fixture of the season, watched by the largest crowd to see the Woods this season.

The wind played its part in the game of two halves, and Guernsey took an eighth minute lead and netted twice more before half-time. But the Woods stormed back to draw with goals from Luke Tingey, Lucas Sinclair and Stephan Langley - and Archie James' corner hit the bar two minutes into stoppage time, so nearly a late winner!!

There was a goal-packed Pitching In Isthmian League South Central thriller for the Woods this evening, but it was relegation-threatened Binfield who came out on top with a 6-3 scoreline..

The win meant that Binfield climbed out of the bottom two for the first time in months, having taken an early two-goal lead. Kofi Anokye-Boadi pulled one back quickly, but by minute 57 the home side led 5-1 before Kofi scored twice more to claim his first Woods hat-trick. Binfield had the final say, adding a sixth goal five minutes into stoppage time.

The match report is here.

The next fixture sees the Woods fly out to play Guernsey on Sunday, then two days later we travel to Westfield, before the campaign ends against Ascot at The Skyline Roofing Stadium on Saturday 26th April.

Northwood’s Under 18s won through to the final of the Allied Counties Youth League Cup with an excellent 5-1 semi-final victory yesterday evening away to Didcot Town.

The Woods took the lead on 27 minutes when Joe Reade headed home from a James Payne corner, then two goals just before the break, both from London Latifi, gave them a 3-0 interval advantage.

Didcot pulled one back early in the second period, but Northwood wrapped up their win, with Liam Osborne and Jayden Williams both finding the net.

A brilliant result for Ryan Young’s side, who will meet the winners of the Hartley Wintney v Badshot Lea semi-final.

In an end-of-season Pitching In Isthmian League South Central game seemingly drifting towards a goal-less draw, Northwood ended up being defeated by a three-goal margin at the hands of South Park Reigate at The Skyline Roofing Stadium on Saturday.

South Park's first goal on 78 minutes was the result of some loose defending, and they added two more, in the 88th minute and finally, one minute into added time - a nightmare end for Northwood in an eminently forgettable fixture!

The Woods took a point from this evening's Pitching In Isthmian League South Central game away to Metropolitan Police, with the sides playing out an entertaining goal-less draw.

Northwood boss Ben Buwkowsi had problems before the game when he lost both central defenders in the warm-up. And both sides had chances to win the game, with the woodwork rattled several times at both ends. But the Woods take the point and move onto Saturday's home fixture against South Park.

Alan Evans' match report is here.

Corinthian-Casuals were once one of the most famous amateur clubs in the country, but nowadays they have struggled somewhat, and they currently holding up the Pitching In Isthmian League South Central table. Despite, that today they came out on top against Northwood on a windswept day, finishing 2-1 winners.

Casuals scored after two minutes and again on thirteen, and Northwood - fielding debutant keeper Dan O'Brien - were unable to recover from those early blows. Dan Williams set up Dan James to score his first Woods goal on 56 minutes on his first start, but that was as good as it got for the Woods.

For the second time this season, this afternoon Northwood went down to Pitching In Isthmian League South Central defeat at the hands of a Southall outfit that grabbed a smash and grab victory with late goals.

It happened on Boxing Day, and again on Easter Monday in the Middlesex derby, today after Dan Williams had given Ben Bukowski's side a first half lead. But it wasn't enough to prevent Southall from collecting a 2-1 win at their current Burnham home.

The match report and photos are here.

The Woods are back in action on Thursday evening, 4th April, when they hopefully play the much-postponed fixture away to Binfield.
