(Interstat) — Boreham Wood delivered a commanding 5-1 victory over Wealdstone in a National League match Friday at Mangata Developments Stadium Meadow Park. Defender James Clarke powered the rout with two first-half goals, opening the scoring in the 33rd minute and adding another in the 42nd. Substitute Sean Jordon Adarkwa and midfielder Zak Brunt scored in quick succession around halftime before forward Abdul Abdulmalik completed the scoring in the 79th minute. The lopsided result defied a pregame projection that favored a closer Boreham Wood win. The victory gives Boreham Wood a winning start to both its National League and overall campaign, while Wealdstone begins the season with a loss. Four yellow cards were issued during the match.
