Boreham Wood U18s, who have remained unbeaten this season apart from the Swansea City FA Youth Cup defeat, have a ridiculous congestion of fixtures, all because of their own success.

In the last few weeks, they have won their league and have successfully negotiated another two semi-finals. It now leaves the Wood youngsters having to play the National Conference Cup final against Cirencester on Wednesday at 2pm, before competing in another important cup final just 48 hours later, when they play in the prestigious Champions Youth Cup. They then have to compete in another two semi-finals and two big cup finals in less than a fortnight, to complete the season.
