MATCH REPORT | Barnet 3-2 Wealdstone
In a hard-fought match, Wealdstone battled back from a 2-0 deficit before a late Barnet goal sunk the Stones to 9th position in the league table.
A first-half brace by JJ Hooper would give the nearly 1,600 in attendance visions that Barnet was going to run away in the local derby and snap their five-match winless streak to open the season. Wealdstone would battle back with Jorome Slew netting his own brace on either side of the break to pull the Stones even. Unfortunately, Barnet would see Flynn Clark unleash a howler from just outside the box on a free kick that would eventually prove to be the match-winner.
WEALDSTONE: Isted, Olowu (Cawley 77), Meekings, Okimo, Efete, Wishart, Dyer, Holland (Lench 82), Green, Slew, McKiernan.
Subs not used: Askew, Parish, Phillips
BT Sport Highlights
Manager Drew Welch - "We played very well today. Well enough to be able to come away with something from this match. Unfortunately, it just wasn't to be. We dominated possession, but we let ourselves get carved open too many times by their counter game. They made 52 entries into our final third from central areas that developed into nine shots on goal. Simply too many. And we need to start converting some of these long-range shots. 0/8 is not going to get it done. We're capable of doing better than that.
