Boreham Wood extended their exceptional start to the National League season with a convincing 3-0 victory over Yeovil Town at Huish Park. The promoted Glovers' impressive run came to a halt as the visitors demonstrated why they are among the league’s top contenders, climbing to third place in the table.
The breakthrough came just 20 minutes in when Abdul Abdulmalik showcased his pace and skill, racing down the left flank before deftly sidestepping defender Andrew Oluwabori and curling a precise shot into the net.
Boreham Wood’s Jeff King came close to doubling the lead but was thwarted by the post. However, Matt Rush made no mistake in first-half stoppage time, expertly converting a cross from Charles Clayden to put the visitors firmly in control.

After the interval, Femi Ilesanmi sealed the win with a composed finish, capitalising on a loose ball following Clayden’s mis-hit effort. Although Rush found the net again late in the match, his goal was ruled out for offside, ensuring the scoreline remained 3-0.
This result cements Boreham Wood’s strong position near the summit, while Yeovil will be looking to bounce back in their upcoming fixtures.
