Wealdstone stayed in the National League after a win over Halifax pulled them out of the relegation zone on a dramatic final day of the season.

The home side – who had started the afternoon in the bottom four, a point behind Dagenham – got off to a fast start when defender Jack Cook headed in from a corner after just four minutes.

Kallum Cesay then tapped in a second before a long-range effort from midfielder Mustapha Carayol had Stones in control ahead of half-time.

Halifax – already secure of a place in the top seven – claimed a consolation just before the hour mark through a long-range effort by Luca Thomas, but Wealdstone saw out the closing stages to edge above Dagenham, who drew at Solihull.

The corresponding results carried an additional air of significance given Solihull boss Matt Taylor left Wealdstone in January to move to Damson Park, ultimately doing his former club a favour.
