Walsall secured a 3‑0 away win over Gillingham at Priestfield Stadium, with late goals from Isaac Moore, James Connolly, and Aaron Pressley stamping the Saddlers' League Two season with a bang. Moore, a Coventry loanee, struck in the 81st minute to give the visitors a first‑time lead.

Connolly, a summer signing, then bagged a second goal, stunning the home side and cementing the win. The Saddlers' defense held firm while Walsall’s attack remained relentless, earning them a clean sheet and a confident start to the campaign.

Goalkeeper Jed Ward made a series of fine saves to deny Gillingham’s Ronan Hale, and the home side saw James Brophy and Will Goodwin hit the bar. Despite the valiant efforts, Walsall’s trio of late goals proved decisive.
