U21s report: Boreham Wood 2-2 Arsenal

Related Topics: Boreham Wood, Matt Rush

Our under-21s kicked off their pre-season campaign with a promising 2-2 draw against National League side Boreham Wood at Mangata Pay UK Stadium.

The hosts took the lead inside the opening minute when a low cross into the box was tapped home by Matt Rush.

However, we responded well and found the equaliser just ten minutes later. After some slick build-up with Louis Zecevic John, Alex Marciniak kept his composure and slotted a tidy finish into the bottom corner.

We came close to going ahead midway through the first half when Ceadach O’Neill picked out Theo Julienne in space, but his effort went straight at the goalkeeper.
