Halifax Town claimed a crucial victory in an entertaining five-goal thriller at The Shay, with substitute Owen Bray proving the match-winner four minutes from time. The hosts showed tremendous character after twice falling behind to equalizing goals from Boreham Wood, with Josh Hmami's early opener cancelled out by Zak Brunt before William Smith restored Halifax's lead only for Lewis Richardson to level again early in the second half. The turning point came in the 67th minute when Halifax made a triple substitution, introducing fresh legs that shifted momentum decisively in their favor. This victory moves Halifax further away from any relegation concerns in the National League table, while Boreham Wood will rue missed opportunities to claim points on the road in what was an open, attacking encounter that showcased the competitive nature of England's fifth tier.
