Thame United are back in the Pitching In Southern League Central Division One action this Saturday when they travel to North West London to face Northwood. The two teams met at the ASM Stadium in November with Thame running out winners by 2 - 1. This was their first meeting since 2018 as Northwood had been playing in the Isthmian League until a sideways move to the Southern League at the start of the 2024 / 2025 season. It’s been a tough season for our host, sitting one place above the relegation zone on 20 points. But have played fewer games due to a number of postponments, last time out Northwood suffered a narrow 1 - 0 defeat at Aylesbury United. Meanwhile Thame got back to winning ways on Tuesday night with a comfortable 3 - 1 home victory against Kings Langley, the win moves the team onto the same amount of points as Flackwell Heath in 5th place.
