Boreham Wood returned to winning ways against Wealdstone to move up to third in the table.
Wood went close when a header from Femi Ilesanmi forced Sam Howes to make a good save, and Josh Rees put a chance wide before the break.
They broke the deadlock in the 52nd minute when Danny Newton squared the ball to Rees who smashed into an empty net.
Wealdstone conceded a penalty and Howes saved Tyrone Marsh’s spot-kick, but the forward was able to tuck away the rebound to double Boreham’s lead on the hour mark.
The Stones had a chance minutes later when Olufela Olomola struck the crossbar, and Simeon Akinola headed home on debut to halve the deficit with 11 minutes left.
