Leaders Boreham Wood march on with victory over Carlisle
Enterprise National League leaders Boreham Wood came from behind to beat Carlisle 2-1 with two late goals at Meadow Park.
Carlisle, looking to build on Monday’s 4-2 win over Scunthorpe, took the lead on the hour when Stephen Wearne drilled a low shot into the bottom right corner.
Boreham Wood – having won four and drawn one of the opening five games – were back on level terms in the 79th minute when Jay Bird, who had just been sent on for his debut following a short-term loan switch from Salford, glanced in a deft header.
The home side then secured all three points with nine minutes left when Zak Brunt’s corner flew in past Carlisle keeper Adam Desbois, and defender Jack Ellis appeared to get the last touch at the near post for an own goal.
