ONLY a goal difference, but Leyton were good value for this win. The incredible speed of Williams was a constant threat to the Stones back-line all evening. The striker scored twice and could have had more were it not for Andy Carter's agility in the Wealdstone goal and a little misfortune.

As on Saturday the early exchanges went Wealdstone's way, and Gary McKeown's 20 yard dipping strike only just cleared the bar, but also as on Saturday the opponent's scored with their first chance-a static defence watched as Williams went right through its centre to round Carter and score after 13 minutes. Williams then miskicked in front of goal and Carter saved at the feet of Bajada.

The second Williams goal, just after the half hour, was close in from a narrow angle after another run had caused more defensive confusion.

In fact Williams could have had a first half hat-trick but was stopped by Carter once again saving with a dive at forward's feet.

A slow second half, where Leyton retreated into their shell, saw Wealdstone get to grips with the task and, encouraged by the crowd, start to take the game to their opponents. In a spirited passage of play Stones finally put on pressure and keeper Hassell was called on to save efforts from Richard Jolly and Danny Tilbury and also dive at the feet of Jolly when he was put through by Tilbury's superb threaded pass.

Alvin Bubb's mazy run and strike did reduce the deficit giving Wealdstone ideas of a draw, but Leyton upped their game to counter any such thoughts- Bangura fired over with only Carter to beat and Williams again missed out on a hat-trick when his shot hit a post.
