United take to Brunton Park for the first time this season and face Boreham Wood, hoping to add to the three points they earned in a 2-0 win at Woking last Saturday.
The Blues sit third in the Enterprise National League table and aim to build on their positive start to the season as they take on the London-based outfit.

OPPOSITION PLAYER TO WATCH
Boreham Wood midfielder Tom White is a player United know well, having featured for the Blues at youth team level.
White left Morecambe in the summer, joining the Wood earlier this month, and brings proven National League pedigree, winning the division with Barrow AFC in 2020.
The 28-year-old will likely anchor Luke Garrad’s midfield, which he did so in their 2-0 opening-day defeat against Rochdale, but will hope for a different outcome on this occasion.
