OPPOSITION DUGOUT 

Luke Garrard 

As a player, Garrard started his career at Swindon Town and made his debut in April of 2003, before enjoying spells at Bishop Stortford and Boreham Wood. 

He then joined AFC Wimbledon on a permanent basis in 2006 and made close to 100 appearances for the Club.

Another stint at the Wood followed – where he appeared 140 times before hanging up his boots in 2015. 

Following the resignation of Ian Allinson in 2015, Garrard was handed the managerial role at Boreham Wood – which made him the youngest gaffer in England’s top five leagues. 

ONE TO WATCH

Tyrone Marsh

Marsh started his career at Oxford United and made seven first-team appearances before loan spells at Aylesbury, Staines Town and Welling United.

The 27-year-old left the U’s on a permanent basis in 2014 to sign for Ebbsfleet United.

Marsh then enjoyed time at Torquay United, Dover Athletic and Macclesfield Town.

Stints at current side Boreham Wood and Stevenage followed, but in the summer of 2021, Marsh returned to the Wood for his second spell at the LV Bet Stadium.

The Bedford-born forward bagged a hat-trick against the Bees in the Buildbase FA Trophy in December and is likely to be a threat once again on Sunday afternoon.
