Zak Brunt Sends Borehamwood Fc Past Forest Green 1-0
borehamwood fc edged Forest Green Rovers 1-0 on Wednesday night in the National League eliminator, and Zak Brunt settled it in extra time. Dale Vince did not sound broken by the exit. He called the match incredible and said the result was overwhelmed by the performance.
Brunt Decides It In Extra Time
Brunt scored the only goal, and it came after the match had already gone beyond 90 minutes. That finish sent Boreham Wood through and ended Forest Green’s play-off run on the night.
Vince said, “Incredible game Wednesday night at Boreham Wood, end-to-end is an understatement, some fabulous football and only one goal scored, sadly not by us”. He added, “But I didn’t feel sad after this game, I couldn’t – if I wanted to, we were so incredible, the skill and the effort on display, was just stunning – it overwhelmed the result.”
Vince Praises Forest Green
The Forest Green chairman pushed the same theme further. “And that’s been our season for the most part, great football, excitement and fun – back at FGR.”
He also thanked Robbie Savage, Mark Bowen and Asif Rehmanwala, along with the players. “Big thanks to Robbie Savage and Mark (Bowen) and Asif Rehmanwala – I sound like Robbie now – and to our players who gave their all.” Vince then singled out the supporters: “And to our fans who’ve been fantastic all season long and especially (like everyone else) last night in the biggest game of our season.”
Forest Green Turn To Next Season
The defeat closed the play-off chapter for Forest Green, but Vince framed the season around the quality of the football rather than the exit. His final note was forward-looking: “Next season is just weeks away and we’ll do better again, I know we will, you can see it.”
For Forest Green, the immediate change is simple. The campaign is over, Boreham Wood move on, and the club’s attention now shifts from a 1-0 extra-time loss to building for the next one.
