Wealdstone's Ryman Premier play-off hopes suffered another setback after losing 3-2 at home to AFC Hornchurch on Saturday.

The Stones gave a debut to former Watford left-back Louis Lavers but it was a difficult introduction for him in a side missing several first-team regulars.

The Urchins took the lead in the 29th minute when Ross Wall pounced following a goalmouth scramble.

But Wealdstone went into half-time level after Ryan Ashe tucked away a penalty which was given for a foul on Danny Spendlove.

Hornchurch regained the lead seven minutes after the restart when Michael Spencer reacted quickest to fire the ball into the net.

The visitors' third goal arrived with more than half an hour left as a misdirected clearance enabled Jamie Dormer to punish Wealdstone.

The Stones pulled one back with a late effort from Callum Martin but it was not enough to prevent their fourth defeat in the last six games.
