Wealdstone 1- 2 Leyton
Wealdstone1 - 2
LeytonA better performance from Stones but not the result they wanted or probably deserved – a draw may have been a fairer result.
Leyton were generally stronger and quicker and soon had Stones under pressure but some wayward finishing and the crossbar preserved Stones defending, then on seventeen minutes a Courtnage corner was headed on by Jolly for Morgan to head home at the far post to give Stones the lead.
This spurred Stones on for their best spell of the match and they forced Leyton back, Jolly, Morgan and Carter unlucky not to increase Stones lead before on 31 minutes a Leyton break as stones gave the ball away allowed Williams’ shot to cannon back off the bar to ben Wood who equalised.
With Leyton ‘s midfield beginning to control the game, Stones were glad of the break, but the second half started in similar vein.
Another error on 66 minutes allowed Bajeda through and he sidestepped Andy Carter to slot home from close range, but Stones to their credit battled their way back into the match.
The last twenty minutes saw Stones force Leyton back and a Ryan header flashed wide when maybe he should have scored – Alexander also saw a shot go wide of the post and Morgan had an effort saved but there was to be no breakthrough…
