DEBUT DUO LEAVE THEIR MARKS ON STALEMATE

DEBUT goals from Josh Walker and Kaiman Anderson were enough for Wealdstone and Oxford City to share the spoils on a freezing afternoon.

The Stones took an early lead when Walker was alert to Eddie Oshodi’s deflected shot to place an easy finish past City’s new number one Craig Hill.

The sub-zero temperatures brought a sub-zero performance from both sides as both keepers were rarely called into action.

But at the end of the first half Anderson did bring a save out of Jonathan North in the Wealdstone goal when the keeper tipped wide.

Oxford rallied at the start of the second half and were level six minutes in. Fellow debutant Wilson Carvalho crossed in for Jefferson Louis, his shot was parried by North and Anderson slotted in the rebound.

North then denied Louis again from close range but thankfully for the hosts he held onto the ball second time round.

Substitute Jonny Wright had two golden opportunities for the home side having an effort cleared off the line by Jordy N’Gathe and having a header hit the post right at the death.

Danny Green also brought a spectacular save from Hill in injury time when he saw his long-range strike spectacularly tipped over the crossbar.
