Wealdstone Manager Gordon Bartlett said after the game: ‘ This session was all about looking at players currently trialling with us and trying out some different formations and utilising a very large squad that we brought with us. It was a useful session and will help our fitness regime. These pre season games are certainly not about the result – we lent them a goalkeeper! The management team are interested in performance – we kept the ball well but the end product was disappointing today, but I was pleased with the workout’
