Boreham Wood stun Bournemouth to reach FA Cup fifth round

Mark Ricketts’ goal fires National League side to fourth round glory
Boreham Wood

Boreham Wood shocked AFC Bournemouth to set up an FA Cup fifth round trip to Premier League Everton.

Mark Ricketts put the Non-League side ahead in the first half on the south coast.

Luke Garrard’s men defended superbly as the Championship outfit tried to find a way back into the fourth round tie with keeper Taye Ashby-Hammond, on loan from Fulham, making a stunning double save.

And the National League side held onto their advantage given to them by 37-year-old Ricketts with an accurate finish via the post from the edge of the box on 38 minutes.

Garrard’s side are yet to concede a goal in this season’s competition.

The Wood are the final Non-League team left in the FA Cup and up next is a mouth-watering away date at Goodison Park, where they face Everton and their new boss Frank Lampard.
