Yeovil Town defeated Wealdstone 2-0 on Wednesday to pull nine points clear of the National League relegation zone. The vital away victory moves Yeovil within three points of the table’s top half, providing a massive cushion as the 2026 season enters its final stretch.
The visitors established control late in the first half. Fulham loanee Terrell Works opened the scoring in the 38th minute. He finished a rapid counter-attack sparked by Ryan Jones to put Yeovil ahead before the break.
Wealdstone made seven changes to their starting lineup prior to kickoff. They prioritized resting key players ahead of their upcoming FA Trophy semi-final this weekend. That heavy rotation proved costly in domestic sports competition. Yeovil doubled their advantage just three minutes into the second half. James Daly found the back of the net in the 48th minute after collecting a perfectly weighted ball over the top from Josh Sims.
