Wealdstone FC face a tough Bank Holiday Monday test away to league leaders Sutton United in the Enterprise National League. The Stones travel to the Borough Sports Ground for a 3pm kick-off on August 31st, broadcast live on DAZN, following a last-gasp draw with Carlisle United.
According to a match preview from Wealdstone FC, Gary Waddock's side showed resilience on Friday night. Aaron Henry scored a superb free-kick in the last minute of normal time to secure a 1-1 draw, cancelling out David Ajiboye's first-half opener for Carlisle. Goalkeeper Dante made two important saves to keep his team in the contest.
What is Wealdstone's current league form?
The team's current position provides context for this challenging fixture. As of September 3rd, Wealdstone sit 18th in the National League table with five points from five games. Their record shows one win, two draws, and two losses, with a recent form of WDLLD. They have scored six goals but conceded seven, leaving them with a minus-one goal difference. The title race already sees them eight points behind early leaders Boreham Wood, highlighting the importance of picking up points.
Squad news is mixed ahead of the trip. Dylan Kadji is available again after serving a one-match suspension. However, club captain Jack Cook remains sidelined with injury, as does summer signing Admiral Muskwe. Their absence will test the squad's depth against the league's form team.
How have past meetings between the clubs gone?
This will be the 83rd meeting between the two clubs in a long-running rivalry. The historical record favours the hosts, with Sutton United claiming 44 victories to Wealdstone's 18, while 20 games have ended in draws. The most recent encounter in February 2026 was a painful one for the Stones, a 3-0 defeat with goals from Hayden Muller, Lewis Simper, and Kai Jennings. That result also marked the end of Sam Cox's tenure as Wealdstone manager.
Wealdstone's last victory over Sutton came in October 2025, a thrilling 4-2 win at Grosvenor Vale. Goals from Micah Obiero, Sak Hassan, Connor McAvoy, and Anthony Georgiou secured the three points that day. Manager Gary Waddock reflected positively on the Carlisle performance, stating, "We went toe-to-toe with a very good side who are looking to go for promotion this year. We played really well." He also praised his goalkeeper and match-saver, adding, "I thought Dante made two unbelievable saves to keep us in the game."
What is the challenge facing Wealdstone?
The challenge on Monday is significant. Sutton United sit top of the table with a perfect record of four wins from four games. They edged past Gateshead 1-0 in their last outing, though they finished that match with ten men after Noah Nzuzi's red card for an off-the-ball incident. Facing the league leaders away from home is a formidable task for any side.
