LOAN WATCH: Isted can't prevent Stones falling to a first league defeat at Daggers

Luton goalkeeper Harry Isted was part of the Wealdstone side who fell to their first defeat of the National League season going down 1-0 at Dagenham & Redbridge on Saturday evening.

The Town loanee was called upon early on, making two saves from ex-Hatters trialist Angelo Balanta and Mitch Brundle in the opening 10 minutes.

After a goalless first half, the hosts broke the deadlock just after the hour mark, good work between Paul McCallum and Balanta ended with the latter finding the bottom corner.

Stones manager Dean Brennan, who played 14 times when at Kenilworth Road himself, brought on former Town striker Ross Lafayette, but Isted kept it 1-0 when he stopped Mitch Brundle’s strike from the edge of the box.

Lafayette almost salvaged a point late on, only to see his effort saved by ex-Luton keeper Elliot Justham, the rebound blasted over the top.

Town youngster Tiernan Parker played 90 minutes as Hitchin Town drew 2-2 with Leiston in the Southern League Premier Division on Saturday, a crowd of 523 in attendance.

One-time Luton academy prospect Callum Stead went close for the Canaries, but it was Leiston who took the lead on 15 minutes when Liam Jackson converted a low cross.

In the second period, William Davies made it 2-0 to the visitors on 71 minutes, before Hitchin fought back, Layne Eadie netting from the penalty spot and then Lawrie Marsh nodding an equaliser, with Parker making a fine save at the death to ensure his side left Top Field with a point.
