Looking to Bounce Back
FC Halifax Town travel south to face Wealdstone in their second fixture of the 2025–26 Enterprise National League season. After a disappointing 3–0 defeat away at Braintree Town on opening day, manager Adam Lakeland will be keen to see a response from his side.
Squad Developments
The Shaymen have undergone a summer rebuild, with several new faces joining the squad:
– Dylan Crowe
– Thierry Latty-Fairweather
– Shaun Hobson
– Will Hugill
– Josh Hmami
– Cody Johnson
– Will Harris
– David Kawa
– AJ Warburton
Despite the setback last weekend, Halifax showed glimpses of attacking intent during pre-season and will be aiming to rediscover that form at Grosvenor Vale.
The Opposition: Wealdstone FC
Wealdstone began their campaign with a confident 2–0 win over Truro City, showcasing a solid defensive display and clinical finishing. Dutch winger Enzio Boldewijn opened his account for the season, while midfielder Omar Mussa impressed in build-up play.
Under new manager Sam Cox, the Stones have retained key players such as Jack Cook, Max Kretzschmar, and Sean Adarkwa, while adding promising talent like Alfie Massey (on loan from Millwall).
