Boreham Wood and Tamworth drew 3–3 in a thrilling match. Tamworth twice took the lead through Kieren Donnelly, but Matt Rush scored three times, including a late goal that put Boreham Wood ahead. Tamworth’s sustained pressure was rewarded when Danny Cashman brought down TJ Bramble in the area, allowing Ben Milnes to score a stoppage-time penalty and secure a share of the points.

Boreham Wood have signed 19-year-old Bangladesh forward Farhaan Ali Walid from Fulham on a season-long loan ahead of their National League opener against Tamworth. The versatile attacker, who came through Chelsea and Fulham’s youth systems, recorded nine goals and five assists in Premier League 2 and was later promoted to Fulham’s under-21 team. His performances earned him a pre-season call-up from manager Alvaro Arbeloa, along with a first-team debut in a behind-closed-doors match. He will wear number 20 for Boreham Wood, while the club continues to face uncertainty over Abdul Abdulmalik’s future amid reported interest from Leicester City.

Boreham Wood have signed Crawley Town playmaker Danny Cashman on a season-long loan, making him the fourth addition to Luke Garrard’s squad. The 25-year-old previously impressed at Worthing, scoring 28 goals in 79 appearances, but made only five League Two appearances for Crawley last season after struggling with injuries. Following a brief loan spell at Sutton United, Cashman will aim to regain his fitness and form while helping Boreham Wood challenge for promotion.
