Boreham Wood kickstarted their National League Cup defence with a 5-2 victory over Leeds United Under-21’s.
What happened?
The hosts flew out of the traps, buoyed by a dominant victory at FC Halifax Town, and Regan Booty drew first blood inside seven minutes. Boreham Wood is currently 7th in the National League with 4 points, having won 1 and drawn 1 of their 2 games, and has scored 6 goals while conceding 4.
Why it matters for Boreham Wood
The win is a significant boost for Luke Garrard’s side, who are looking to build on their recent form. Farhaan Ali Wahid scored his first goal on his first start, and the team’s attacking play was impressive.
What comes next?
Boreham Wood will face Forest Green Rovers on Saturday, and then Kidderminster Harriers on 2027-02-16, as they look to continue their National League Cup campaign. The team is 2 points behind leaders Harrogate Town, and will be looking to close the gap in the coming weeks. Boreham Wood’s recent form has been promising, with a win and a draw in their last 2 games, and they will be looking to build on this momentum.
