Wealdstone avoid relegation with win over Halifax

Wealdstone stayed in the Vanarama National League after a 3-1 win over Halifax pulled them out of the relegation zone on a dramatic final day of the season.

The home side – who had started the afternoon in the bottom four, a point behind Dagenham – got off to a fast start when defender Jack Cook headed in from a corner after just four minutes.

Kallum Cesay then tapped in a second before a long-range effort from midfielder Mustapha Carayol had Stones in control ahead of half-time.

Halifax – already secure of a place in the top seven – equalised just before the hour mark through a long-range effort by Luca Thomas, but Wealdstone saw out the closing stages to edge above Dagenham, who drew at Solihull.
