TUE 2nd FEB ZAMARETTO SOUTHERN LEAGUE DIV 1 MIDLAND
STOURPORT SWIFTS 3 - WOODFORD UNITED 4 |
| |
|
Woodford came out on top yet again in a nail biting encounter at Stourport to send them into the top six,
Stourport had the better of the early exchanges and went in front when Dan Polan broke down the Woodford left,before firing past Finlay at his near post to give the home side the lead, Woodford should have been on level terms before the break,with King and Foriton both going close.
The second half had hardly got under way and the home side were two up, Ross Harris hesitated with his clearance and Chris Cornes was quick to pounce firing past Finlay from 6 yards. Woodford responded immediately when Glenn Hawkins curled a delightful effort past the stranded Paul Evans.
Woodford were now completely on top and only the woodwork and some superb saves by Evans kept Stourport in front. Again the game was turned on it's head when Stouport somehow regained thier two goal advantage,when Dan Polan closed down a Finlay clearance and the ball rebounded off the strikers legs back into the Woodford net.
Woodford again showed the spirit to come back and were rewarded for there endeavors when Forinton was bundled over in the box by Nathan Jukes, the defender was given his marching orders and Hawkins dispatched the spot kick to give Woodford hope.
Hawkins leveled the game with ten minutes left, when he found himself with space in the box from a Travers cross,the striker made no mistake to give him his hat-trick Woodford went in search of the winner and again it has Hawkins who took his tally to four,again Stourport failed to pick him up in the box and the big striker made no mistake to give Woodford the points. |

SATURDAY 30th JANUARY - ZAMARETTO DIVISION 1 MIDLAND
BROMSGROVE ROVERS 1 - WOODFORD UNITED 2 |
| |
|
After a long lay off from league action, Woodford recorded to away victories in the space of 4 days, to stretch thier unbeaten run to 7 games.
Recent signing Howard Forinton was again quick out of the blocks, putting Woodford in front mid way through the first half when he found himself in space inside the six yard box, after Neil King and Lewis Travers linked well down the Woodford rightbefore the later delivered a deep cross for Forinton to pounce. to make it 3 goals in his first 2 games, since signing from Banbury.
In a scrappy 1st half on a difficult pitch, neither side looked like taking any control, Woodford should have probably extended there lead on the half hour mark, when Neil King burst clear and delivered the ball into the box, where Tom Fountain was on hand,the midfielder somehow failed to connect with his header and the chance was lost.
The home side looked like threatening in the latter stages of the half when Danny Scheppel set up Gary Ray but Matt Finlay was on hand to smother the effort.
Woodford extended there lead 2 minutes after the break, Bromsgove were slow to react, when Tommy Kinch slid the ball in between the two Bromsgrove centre backs and Hawkins found himself clear with only Karl Lewis to beat, which he did with ease.
Bromsgrove responded well after this set back and both Josh McKenzie and Ryan Keen maybe should have done better when they had an opportunity to bring the home side back into he game.
Woodford should have made it Three with 20 minutes to go, when Forinton was bundled over in the box by the home keeper, the keeper redeemed himself though, saving the resulting Hawkins spot kick down to his right.
Spurred on by this Bromsgove put Woodfrod under some late pressure, with a succession of corners but Woodford's defense without the injured Parkinson stood firm.
Bromsgrove did grab a late consolation deep into injury time, when Dexter Ravenhill turned well in the box and curled a delightful effort past Finlay, to little to late though and Woodford held on to take the points and move them upto 9 th. with a tough test at home to high flyers Slough next Saturday, Woodford will be looking to continue there fine run of form, which has gone a little un-noticed with all the recent cancellations |
