Woking 2-0 Spurs U21s
Pre Season Friendly
26th July 2025

Woking’s third pre-season friendly of the season saw them take on a Spurs U21 side, as they looked for their third victory in four outings so far.

The Cards came out firing and seized the initiative early. As Spurs held a high defensive line, the hosts looked to play in behind down the flanks.

Jamie Andrews was the first to break the offside trap, but could only put his effort wide. Sam Ashford’s persistence led to another chance, but once again the shot failed to hit the target.

Their pressure bore fruit shortly after the half‑hour mark when captain Aiden O’Brien headed home an Aaron Drewe backpost cross for the opener. Just six minutes later, Jack Turner doubled the lead, slotting home into the bottom corner from another Drewe cross.

Spurs U21s were largely penned back during the first period, unable to create clear-cut chances as Woking’s energy and physicality paid dividends.

Tottenham’s made several changes at the break and returned with renewed intensity, making a string of changes that injected fluency into their play. Oliver Irow found himself denied twice in quick succession by Woking keeper Craig Ross, who produced some fine stops to preserve his clean sheet.

On the counter, Ashford once again found himself through on goal, only to see his first effort well saved and the follow-up blocked on the line.

The Cards controlled the remainder of the game to secure their third victory of pre-season.

Next up is a trip to Motspur Park to take on Fulham’s U21s on Tuesday night.
