East Thurrock United0 - 2
WealdstoneComposure was the key to the Stones performance today, as a win would guarantee a play-off place and this was duly secured.
On a difficult pitch, Stones controlled the game from the early stages as their hosts seemed more intent on timewasting rather than trying to win the game, but Wealdstone found it difficult to break through and create any more than a half chance. Their best effort of the half, a cross cum shot from Butler which hit the crossbar, other efforts from Jolly, Beckford and Tilbury failing to break the deadlock.
The second half started in similar fashion, but on 62 minutes Stones got the breakthrough when Butler headed home from a corner, and continuing to press, stones scored a second when Jolly forced the home keeper into an error – he spilled the ball to Dave Ryan – whose back heel was good enough to score Stones second goal.
East Thurrock failed to create a single decent chance in the match and so Wealdstone progress to the Ryman League Play-Off for the last place in the Premier Division for next season. The match away to Dulwich Hamlet on Monday 3rd May at 7:30pm.
After 58 matches this season, success or failure comes down to the very last match…
