MATCH REPORT: Altrincham 1-3 Woking

Altrincham 1-3 Woking

Enterprise National League

J Davidson Stadium

18th October 2025

Woking claimed back-to-back away league wins, thanks to strikes from Ashley Boatswain, Jack Turner and Josh Kelly.

After the disaster midweek against Brackley, a big result was needed from the long journey to Cheshire. After a positive few days in training, Neal Ardley’s side came out with a strong message as Boatswain fired home his second goal in his first three games.

The hosts managed to get back on level terms when they split the Woking defence, and Jimmy Knowles was the spare man in the box to skillfully beat Will Jaaskelainen.

Shortly before half-time, however, Jack Turner spun his defender in the box and fired home past Fallon in goal to regain our advantage at the break.

Half time: Altrincham 1-2 Woking

Alty never really troubled the Cards in the second half, and Kelly made them pay in the final few moments after winning a penalty and coolly converted from 12 yards to send the 96 travelling supporters into a frenzy.

A great performance on the day was the perfect way to bounce back and gain confidence going into our next league game against table toppers Rochdale AFC.
