Brave Boreham Wood Bounce Into The FA Cup Last 16

By Sam Elliott

Incredible Boreham Wood are bouncing into Round Five of the FA Cup after getting the better of AFC Bournemouth.

Luke Garrard’s lionhearts were sensational as they clinched a date with Premier League Everton.

How they deserved the 1-0 win, thanks to a rare goal in the first half from captain Mark Ricketts, 37.

He returned from injury to dish out the killer blow, slotting home as the Championship title chasers had no response.

Drama was delivered as they created history on the south coast as they held first and became the first National League team to reach the last 16 for five years.

They have still not let in a goal in the FA Cup this season and now they head to Merseyside to meet Frank Lampard’s Toffees.

Match winner Ricketts told ITV Sport: "I didn't believe it would be me getting the winner!

"I'm not known for scoring goals but it's huge - now we go to Goodison Park.

"We've got big hearts, and it sounded like there was 10,000 fans here it was fantastic."
