Boreham Wood survived a remarkable second-half fightback from Brackley Town to secure a thrilling 5-3 victory at home. The hosts raced into a commanding 3-0 lead within 21 minutes through goals from Matt Rush, Lewis Richardson, and Abdul Abdulmalik, appearing to be cruising to an easy win. However, Brackley's tactical substitutions at half-time sparked an incredible revival, with Shane Byrne, Ben Wodskou, and Zak Brown scoring three goals in 10 second-half minutes to level the match at 3-3. Just when it seemed Brackley had completed one of the season's great comebacks, Boreham Wood showed their character with Zak Brunt converting a penalty and Rush adding his second goal to seal the points and maintain their strong league position.
