Wealdstone clinched their first Conference South home victory of the season after Gordon Bartlett’s men sealed a 1-0 win over Concord Rangers on Saturday.

Chances were sporadic in the opening period. Scott McGleish battled as the lone striker but he found opportunities hard to come by.

Concord did create an opening but goalkeeper Jonathan North saved brilliantly to deny Jordan Chiedozie.

The hosts’ best chances of the first half fell to Joe Turner. He first sent a snap-shot wide before wasting a good opportunity at the back post.

Concord started the second period brightly but Wealdstone fought their way back into the half and Shaun Lucien looked menacing when the home side attacked.

McGleish had more joy after the break and saw a long-range effort tipped over by Josh Vickers. However, in the 74th minute, the deadlock was broken. Lucien tricked his way past several defenders, crossed into the area and McGleish dipped down to head home.

Lucien then missed a chance to double the advantage before late pressure from Concord was well dealt with by the Stones defence.

Wealdstone face St Albans City in the FA Trophy third qualifying round on Saturday.
