Boreham Wood have launched their 2026-27 pre-season campaign in fine style, recording four wins and a draw ahead of their National League opener. The Wood, who narrowly missed out on Football League promotion last term, have set their sights on another strong season.
How did Boreham Wood start pre-season?
Alessio Dionisi’s first game in charge saw Boreham Wood edge out Sky Bet Championship side Watford 2-1 at Meadow Park. Tom White opened the scoring inside 20 minutes before Mamadou Doumbia equalised for the Hornets. A stunning long-range strike from Trialist D sealed the win for the hosts.
What other results have they achieved?
A trip to Real Bedford followed, where Boreham Wood ran out 8-2 winners despite trailing early. Matt Rush bagged a hat-trick, while new signing Tarryn Allarakhia netted twice. They then drew 1-1 with Arsenal’s youth side, with Marley Marshall-Miranda on target, before beating Tottenham Hotspur U21s 2-1 thanks to goals from Lewis Richardson and Luke Norris.
A 2-1 win over Dagenham & Redbridge rounded off their preparations, with Zak Brunt and Richardson scoring. Their final pre-season test comes against Norwich City U21s before they open their league campaign. Next fixture: vs Kidderminster Harriers (away, 2027-02-16) (10th in the table).
