Tamworth drew level with Boreham Wood at 2-2 on Saturday afternoon in a match that shifted repeatedly in the final half-hour after a relatively controlled opening from the visitors.
Boreham Wood settled into the game with purpose. Oliver Lynch gave them the lead on 24 minutes, and Leon Ayinde extended that advantage immediately after the interval. Lynch added a second just past the hour, and for a spell the travelling side looked well positioned to collect the points comfortably.
Tamworth's response, when it came, was concentrated and effective. Stefan Mols entered the fray at 52 minutes, Matt Rush shortly afterwards. Junior Robinson came on in the 66th minute, with Joe Newton following a minute later, and the balance of the game shifted noticeably. Rush pulled one back on 58 minutes before the substitution wave took full effect.
The hosts drew level through Rush again at 76 minutes, then went ahead through Charles Clayden four minutes later. Tyler Roberts reduced the deficit almost immediately, and Charlie O'Connell's goal in the 89th minute, combined with Matthias Curley's effort in stoppage time, made the final scoreline 2-2 rather than the convincing Boreham Wood win the scoreboard had suggested with twenty minutes remaining.
Boreham Wood will feel they allowed a winning position to slip. Tamworth showed enough in the final stages to suggest they have the energy to recover from difficult positions, even if holding a lead remains a challenge.
