“Keaton Ward booked as Wealdstone's frustration grows late on”
Gateshead secured a narrow but crucial 1-0 victory over Wealdstone thanks to Ashley Boatswain's clinical finish on the stroke of half-time. The Heed dominated the opening period and were rewarded when Boatswain found the net in the 45th minute, capitalizing on sustained pressure that had already seen Louis Storey and Terrell Agyemang booked for robust challenges. Wealdstone struggled to create clear-cut opportunities throughout and became increasingly frustrated as the second half wore on, with Connor McAvoy and Keaton Ward both picking up bookings in the closing stages. This vital three points keeps Gateshead's promotion push on track while leaving Wealdstone to rue their lack of cutting edge in the final third.
