Wealdstone moved three points clear of the Vanarama National League relegation zone with a 3-0 victory over Dagenham at Grosvenor Vale.

Sam Ashford celebrated his 29th birthday by heading the Stones in front from Jaydn Mundle-Smith’s cross midway through the first half.

The advantage was extended just prior to the half hour via Paul Kalambayi’s own goal, and Alex Reid subsequently added a 69th-minute penalty.

Matt Taylor’s side move up two places to 18th, while Ben Strevens’ Dagenham drop a spot to 15th.
