Wealdstone fought back from 2-0 down to rescue a 2-2 draw at Concord Rangers in the National League South on Saturday.

It looked like the Stones were heading for their second league defeat of the calendar year after conceding twice but the visitors produced a spirited comeback to salvage a point.

The result was their 13th draw in the league this season which leaves them four points above the relegation zone.

Manager Gordon Bartlett said: "That's two defeats in the last 15 games. We are aiming to get into the top half of the table but we are still looking over our shoulders.

"We would like to be doing a bit better and we are very much in a relegation battle along with about 11 teams."

New goalkeeper James Bransgrove was handed his debut after joining on a month’s youth loan from Colchester United.

Concord opened the scoring with their first attack of the game after 13 minutes when striker Steve Cawley tucked the ball into the net from six yards out.

The hosts almost doubled their lead through a header from Alex Osborn but Bransgrove managed to push the ball away.

The new keeper was being kept busy and managed to save from Jay Dowie as Concord threatened to add a second goal.

Wealdstone almost levelled the game before the break through Scott Davies but his powerful shot was kept out by goalkeeper Ben McNamara.

The Beachboys nearly extended their advantage early on in the second half but Bransgrove pushed away an effort from Osborn.

Concord’s pressure eventually led to their second goal when Steve King headed home from a corner.

Bartlett’s side rallied and pulled one back when a long free kick fell to Jefferson Louis and the striker fired home.

The Stones had the momentum and built on this as they grabbed their equaliser after Davies struck a superb shot into the net in the 77th minute.

Wealdstone were knocked out of the Middlesex Senior Charity Cup last night after losing 4-3 on penalties to Hanworth Villa.

Goals from Scott McGleish, Tom Cadmore and Shaun Lucien ensured the game finished 3-3 after 90 minutes.

One of the bright spots from the game was the return from injury of goalkeeper Jonathan North.

Bartlett’s side return to action on Saturday with a home game against second-placed Maidstone United.
