As our thoughts in a couple of weeks’ time will inevitably turn to New Year’s resolutions, on a local level 2015 should surely be the year when the people of Elstree and Borehamwood really get behind their local football team – Boreham Wood FC.

Boreham Wood are playing superbly (especially at home) and are currently top of the Conference South. Promotion would mean the club playing in a national league for the first time, just one rung away from the football league.

They are at home on Boxing Day and on Sunday, January 4, 2015. If you like football, there can be little excuse.
