Highlights: Walton & Hersham 2 Northwood 1

The Swans triumph in the Play Off Semi-Final, a late penalty delivering victory


Walton & Hersham put Saturday's disappointment behind them to triumph in the Pitching In Isthmian South Central Play Off Semi-Final last night, but they had to work hard to inflict defeat on Northwood for the fourth time this season. The Swans, who were a moment from the title before a late, late Thatcham Town equaliser on Saturday, fell behind early on, a Northwood break seeing Josh Helmore fire into the bottom corner- but they were level just before the half hour, Mitchell Gough heading home a corner. The winner came eight minutes before the end, a penalty awarded and Harry Mills defying the pressure to safely tuck it away.
Commiserations to the Woods, who have had a magnificent campaign, much of it spent looking down at everyone else.
