Sutton United 3- 2 Wealdstone
Sutton United gained ample revenge for their shock 0-4 drubbing by the Stones at The Vale in September and this victory with a highly dubious 86th minute penalty also preserved the home side’s unbeaten record at Gander Green Lane. Stones will be very disappointed to have ultimately lost this exciting game against a strong U’s side, [...]

Wealdstone 3-0 Wembley
Wealdstone cruised into the 3rd Round of the Middlesex Senior Cup on Tuesday evening seeing off a struggling Wembley side currently fourth from bottom of the Combined Counties League, Premier Division. Stones ought to have racked up their highest win of the season by some margin, but a combination of some wayward finishing, including a saved [...]

Tonbridge Angels 1 – 2 Wealdstone
Wealdstone travelled to a chilly Longmead Stadium to face Tonbridge Angels on Saturday looking to get back to winning ways following two consecutive but narrow league defeats to Dover Athletic and Hastings United. Stones achieved their objective, putting in a sterling team performance with goals from midfielder David Hicks and centre half Alan Massey. Despite a [...]

Wealdstone 5 – 2 Metropolitan Police
The intrepid Wealdstone faithful that braved the freezing elements at The Vale on Tuesday evening were rewarded with a hugely entertaining and hard fought Isthmian League Cup 2ND Round encounter. This was not only an encouraging performance and emphatic win over a strong Met Police side currently sitting in second position in Ryman Division One South, [...]

Hastings United 2 – 1 Wealdstone
Wealdstone slipped to an unexpected and disappointing Ryman Premier League defeat at a dank Pilot Field stadium on Saturday. As a result of this reverse Stones dropped one position to 10th spot in the table. The only team change for Stones, from last week’s narrow home defeat to table topping Dover Athletic, was new signing Danny [...]

Wealdstone 1- 2 Dover Athletic
Despite taking an early lead, competing well throughout and matching a table topping Dover Athletic in the physical contest, the sending off of skipper James Gray in the second half ultimately proved too much for Wealdstone on Saturday, and their winning run was halted. Dover may have experienced a rare defeat in midweek but the task [...]

Horsham 0-2 Wealdstone
Wealdstone’s remarkable winning run in the league continued at Woodside Road on Wednesday evening (19th November) with goals from Marvin Sordell and Davis Haule. Stones dominance was such that mid table Horsham rarely threatened their opponents’ goal during the second period and were made to regret a number of wasted opportunities during the latter stages of [...]

Wealdsone 3-2 Maidstone United
A fast improving Wealdstone side rocked fourth in the table Maidstone United with goals scored after 30 seconds of the first half and a minute of the second and then netted a third to halt the ‘other Stones’ in their tracks in front of an enthusiastic crowd of 660 at The Vale on Saturday. Stones had [...]

Heybridge Swifts 0 – 1 Wealdstone
Wealdstone made it three league wins on the spin at Heybridge’s Scraley Road ground on Saturday and in the process moved up to 12th position in the Ryman League Premier Division table, albeit on goal difference. Stones totally dominated the first half through a goal from the rejuvenated Chris O’Leary, and dug in during the [...]

Wealdstone 1 – 2 Tiverton Town
Both sides did well to produce any constructive football at all in horrendous conditions of high winds and incessant driving rain throughout this very competitive FA Trophy tie at the Vale on Saturday. Wealdstone battled bravely and fought back to draw level midway through the second half but a more composed, experienced and physically strong Tiverton [...]

Wealdstone 4 – 3 Staines Town
In a hugely entertaining match played out in atrocious blizzard like conditions, Wealdstone blitzed high flying Staines to take a three goal lead in the first half, only to end up hanging on in the second when Staines roared back and almost snatched a point. Stones lost striker Stephen Hughes to injury and drafted in an [...]

Margate 0-1 Wealdstone
Despite being under pressure for long periods of the first half of this match at Hartsdown Park on Saturday, Wealdstone eventually wore down and frustrated the home side in the second period and deservedly came away with all three points courtesy of a Ryan Ashe goal after 69 minutes Margate striker Michael Power had the first [...]

Wealdstone 1-1 Aylesbury United
Manger Gordon Bartlett took the opportunity in this friendly against Aylesbury United on Tuesday evening at The Vale to play a mixed side with the fringe first team players and a number of reserves getting the opportunity for a good run-out. Having scored a hat-trick for the Reserves on Saturday away at Tooting & Mitcham [...]

Wealdstone 1-0 Croydon Athletic
Prior to the match Wealdstone Manager Gordon Bartlett had described this FA Trophy 1st Qualifying round encounter against Ryman Division 1 opponents as ‘crucial’ coming as it did on the back of a succession of poor results with Stones last win almost a month ago. Stones have played far better and lost this season but they [...]

Wealdstone 2-3 Canvey Island
In life as in football there is no such thing as ‘fair’. Wealdstone again realised that hard work, effort and moral victories are no substitute for the real thing. And the real thing for the Stones at present is turning possession and effort into goals and of course the ability to defend a lead by [...]

Wealdstone 1 – 1 Carshalton Athletic
Despite the scoreline, Wealdstone made some real progress in this hard fought but entertaining match with a high flying Carshalton Athletic side on Saturday. On the back of three consecutive league defeats, Stones made an encouraging and positive start in lovely warm conditions at the Vale and on loan striker Gavin James, who looked lively [...]

AFC Hornchurch 1 – 0 Wealdstone
Speaking after Tuesday nights (7 October) narrow 0-1 defeat away to AFC Hornchurch, Wealdstone FC Manager Gordon Bartlett was in a much more upbeat frame of mind: ‘I am disappointed with the result but much more pleased with the performance. I thought that we showed a much improved application throughout the match, passed the ball [...]

Harlow Town 2-0 Wealdstone
Wealdstone slipped to eighteenth position in the Ryman League Premier Division following another defeat, this time by Harlow Town at their new Barrows Farm ground on Saturday. Stones were reduced to 10 men in the second half when James Gray was adjudged to have deliberately hand-balled a goal bound shot and the resultant penalty sealed [...]

Wealdstone 0 – 3 Tooting and Mitchum
A competitive, fast and furious start to this match, coming on the back of Wealdstone’s emphatic win at Hendon on Saturday, did not indicate the collapse of confidence and any form of constructive forward play that was to come in the second half, and, with it, a hugely disappointing defeat. Growing concerns with the forward line [...]

Hendon 1 – 4 Wealdstone
If ever Wealdstone needed a result this was the time and place to deliver. With Stones still feeling the effects of a devastating and undeserved reverse in the FA Cup during the preceding midweek at Bedford, this emphatic but somewhat flattering Ryman Premier League win was just what the doctor ordered. The fact that Stones didn’t [...]
