Wealdstone fell to a 3-0 defeat at Whitehawk on Saturday in a day to forget on and off the pitch.

Gordon Bartlett’s side had arrived protecting a three-match unbeaten run but they came a cropper on the South Coast.

They fell behind in the tenth minute as Hawks’ Mike West fired an unstoppable volley past keeper Jonathan North.

And their day did not improve.

Striker Bradley Hudson-Odoi conceded possession to Hawks’ David Martin who set up Danny Mills who easily got past the exposed North to double the hosts’ advantage.

The second half saw some improvement from Wealdstone but any thoughts of a revival were dashed when Josh McLleod-Urquhart brought down Alex Osborn in the area and Martin accepted the gift to convert.

Stones did rally and were unlucky not to trouble the scoreboard with efforts from Scott Davies and substitute Jefferson Louis, but on a day when little went right for the away side, home keeper Craig Ross denied them both to preserve his clean sheet.

Meanwhile, an investigation is under way into crowd trouble at the Vanarama Conference South game.

Stones did arrange a friendly against Staines for Monday night but that fixture was called off. The side host Maidenhead United on Saturday.
