Non-League round-up: Late Wealdstone leveller, Uxbridge through on penalties

Wealdstone snatched a point at Hartlepool United thanks to an own goal from Reiss McNally five minutes into stoppage time.

The Stones were heading for defeat after Brooklyn Ilunga’s 79th-minute strike, but Joe Newton’s cross took a deflection off the Hartlepool defender and went in to earn a 1-1 draw.




Goalkeeper Dante Baptiste had kept Wealdstone level with a series of saves, as Hartlepool had the better of the first half and the early stages of the second.

Ilunga eventually made the breakthrough, collecting a loose ball on the edge of the area and drilling a low shot into the bottom corner.

The late equaliser denied Hartlepool a win that would have lifted them out of the bottom four.
