Wealdstone claimed a comfortable 2-0 victory at Altrincham on Tuesday evening, the result never seriously in doubt once the visitors had established control through the opening exchanges.
Jimmy Knowles gave Wealdstone the lead on 35 minutes, finishing with composure after a well-constructed move, and Altrincham offered little to suggest they could respond before the interval. The home side looked disorganised in possession and struggled to threaten a Wealdstone back line that defended with confidence.
The second half brought a flurry of substitutions from both dugouts around the hour mark. Tom Crawford came on for Altrincham at 62 minutes, and Wealdstone introduced Kahrel Reddin, A. Forde, and Jake Cooper simultaneously at 70 minutes, a triple change that maintained their tempo rather than disrupting it. Elijah Dixon-Bonner and Anthony Georgiou followed for Wealdstone at 73 minutes.
Sean Adarkwa settled the contest definitively when he added a second goal at 85 minutes, shortly after Terrell Agyemang also came on for the visitors. Lucas Weaver's late appearance in the 90th minute and Michael Adu-Poku's earlier introduction at 77 minutes underlined Wealdstone's depth and confidence in the closing stages.
Altrincham created nothing of substance throughout. Wealdstone managed the match intelligently, moved the ball with purpose, and closed out the win without alarm. The margin flatters neither side nor understates them.
