Boreham Wood’s opening goal came after a long spell of pressure that made it feel almost inevitable. The home side controlled possession and tempo, forcing King’s Lynn Town to defend deep for much of the first half.
Despite occasional counterattacks, Town lacked precision in the final third. Boreham Wood doubled their lead in the second half, capitalising on a defensive lapse that left their striker unmarked inside the box.
Harry Devonport pulled one goal back for Town with a well-taken finish late in the game, giving visitors hope of a comeback. However, despite a late surge and a few half-chances, the equaliser never came.
“We competed better towards the end, but we didn’t do enough earlier in the match,” said the Town manager after the loss.
Boreham Wood’s consistent attacking pressure and clinical finishing made the difference, while Town’s late response came too late to change the outcome. The final score: Boreham Wood 2, King’s Lynn Town 1.
Author’s summary: Devonport’s late strike lifted hopes, but Boreham Wood’s early dominance secured a 2–1 victory after a tightly fought match.
