It’s all over: 1-0

A frustrating defeat.

At the back post but it was straight at Ashmore.

Has been named man of the match. He has been annoyingly good.

Big chance for Town

Mandeville is once again denied by Ashmore after going through one-on-one.

Quigley misses a sitter

The striker is free in the box but he scoops his close-range finish over the bar after Sheckleford found him in space with a low cross. He has to score.

Grimes glances a header off the post from Banks’ corner and then Ashmore collects the rebound.

By winning two corners down the other end.

Covolan spilled a shot by Ilesamni and substitute Rees tapped in.

But Covolan makes an excellent reaction save and then Horton does ever so well to make a block on the line. That’s the closest the hosts have gone.

Ashmore saves again

This time he parries a powerful drive from Banks from about 20 yards.

To come and claim a long throw from Bush.

And Mandeville fires over from the edge of the box.

We are back underway

Here we go in the second-half.

Goalless at the break

HT: Boreham Wood 0 v 0 Chesterfield

The Spireites have been the better side and should be winning. Ashmore has made a string of saves, one from Mandeville was superb. Grimes and Palmer dominant at the back.
