Sam Ashford put the home side ahead early on but Brandon Barzey levelled things up as he drilled a low shot into the corner of the net.

Ashford then scored again to put Wealdstone back in front on 77 minutes, before veteran Adrian Mariappa made it 3-1 late on.

There was still time for Ricardo German to net a consolation for Hemel but they couldn’t find an equaliser.

Berkhamsted are aiming to bounce back from relegation from the SPL Premier and will start the Division One Central season at home to Stotfold.
