After less than five months away, long-serving Boreham manager Luke Garrard returned home to Meadow Park last September, following the dismissal of Ross Jenkins. Having lost their space at non-League’s top table after nine years of almost continuous improvement, the decision was made to seek a new man to lead Boreham’s charge back to the fifth tier. Jenkins’ reign was brief and unconvincing though, and when The Wood board opted to make an early-season change, they decided to look no further than Garrard, who made an almost immediate return to the Boreham dugout. Player to Watch 
Torquay will once again be facing up to an imposing figure between the sticks tomorrow, with the experienced Nathan Ashmore proving to be a thorn in United’s side many times over the past five seasons. Ashmore began his career in the youth ranks at Portsmouth, before successful spells at Havant & Waterlooville and Gosport Borough attracted the attentions of Ebbsfleet United. In 2019, Ashmore joined Boreham Wood – initially on loan – and he’s been a crowd favourite there ever since. A place in the 2022/23 National League Team of the Season following 15 clean sheets only served as further evidence of his ability, with only a brief loan stint at Maidenhead interrupting his 200-odd appearances for the Club.

Tyrone Marsh is in his second spell at The Wood, having also enjoyed at spell at Plainmoor during the 2015/16 campaign. Marsh is currently in his second stint at Boreham Wood after a brief spell at Stevenage. After beginning his career at Oxford United, the forward enjoyed loan spells at Aylesbury, Staines Town, and notably Welling where he scored ten goals in twenty appearances. He also played for the likes of Ebbsfleet and Dover before returning to Welling. A move to Macclesfield Town followed where he played a pivotal role in their promotion to the Football League at the conclusion of the 2017/18 campaign. Previous Encounter
