The first HFCTV highlights package has just gone live tonight, featuring our 3-0 win against Enfield Town on Tuesday night, including both Niko Muir's hat-trick and Tom Lovelock's penalty save.
As previously outlined as we announced HFCTV, since the club is run to a tight budget we do need to cover the costs of filming. We therefore have two options for those wishing to view; either 2 pounds per match or a one off 40 pound season ticket, both payable via PayPal. Meanwhile, for those who want a taste of what HFCTV has to offer before committing to either, highlights from this weekend's visit of Harlow Town will be made available for free early next week. For more details on payment options, please visit our HFCTV page either via the menu at the top of each page, or the link below.
We would also like to thank Planet International UK for kindly sponsoring HFCTV this season and helping to make this possible. As with all our sponsors, we appreciate their assistance and hope that our supporters consider using them should in the event of needing property specialists.

We are pleased to announce that Oliver Sprague has returned to the club on a season long loan from Billericay Town, and will be available to play tomorrow.
Ollie joined Billericay midway through last season but has been unable to break into their side this campaign. He won't be able to play against Billericay.
In his previous two spells with us, Ollie has scored 4 goals in 119 appearances and we look forward to seeing him back in the green shirt this season.

As some supporters will be aware, Luke Tingey broke his wrist during the first half of last night's game against Enfield Town.
Having had an x-ray which confirmed the break, he has undergone surgery today which has been successful.
We all wish Luke a speedy recovery.

Niko Muir was the hero this evening as he scored all three goals in a 3-0 victory over Enfield Town - only the second time the Greens have won a league game since our opponents were formed.
The opening goal came in the 7th minute when Muir finished off a fine move and just twelve minutes later he had doubled the lead after more good work by the midfield and forwards.
Enfield were given a lifeline early in the second half when they were awarded a penalty, but Tom Lovelock was able to save the spot-kick from Drew Roberts. Not long afterwards Muir completed his hat-trick, sweeping the ball home past former Hendon keeper Joe Wright.
The Greens had further chances to score, but Wright made a number of good saves, whilst the defence held firm to ensure the clean sheet was secured.

The League Cup is now known as the Velocity Sports Trophy and the draw was released earlier today. As only 63 of the league's 72 clubs have entered the competition, one club has received a bye to the second round - and we are that lucky club.

We would like to apologise to all those who attended the game tonight and hoped to buy a copy of our matchday programme. Unfortunately both ourselves and our printers were badly let down by the courier company who were due to deliver the programmes to Silver Jubilee Park. We will be investigating this tomorrow with the printers, and will be taking steps to ensure that this doesn't happen again. We hope that you will understand that this was outside of the control of both Hendon Football Club and our printers.
We do have the PDF version of the programme available, and we would like to make this available to all free of charge. If you would like a copy, please email hendonfcprogramme@gmail.com and we will send the PDF version to you.
We are hoping that the printed programmes will turn up in the next day or two, so that we can sell them on Saturday at a reduced cost. There will be a new programme issued for the Harlow game.

Our game at Tonbridge Angels has been featured by the Bostik League Website, which is under new management with Ian Townsend having taken over during the summer.
Ian was at Longmead yesterday, and as well as reporting on the game, he spoke to supporters from both sides. It is an excellent article and well worth a read - and it can be found by clicking here.

A positive performance from the Greens ended in defeat at Tonbridge Angels, the home side winning 1-0.
The main difference between the two sides was ultimately the quality of the finishing, with Nathan Elder scoring the only goal of the game in the 77th minute.
A few minutes beforehand the Greens had the perfect opportunity to take the lead when Zak Joseph was fouled just inside the box by Liam Smith, but Matt Ball's penalty hit the bar and was cleared to safety.
Jonathan Henly had been the busier keeper in the first half - making two excellent saves, one at the feet of Joseph, and the second getting fingertips to a shot from Reis Stanislaus.
However, despite the positive performance, it's goals that win games, and that's what the Greens were unable to score.

Gary McCann has added one more player to the squad ahead of tomorrow's opening game at Tonbridge Angels in the shape of Leo Pedro. The exciting 22 year old forward joins us from Bedfont & Feltham and has put in some impressive performances during pre-season.

On a wet evening at SJP, the first team won their final friendly of the pre-season campaign against Hertford Town 1-0. The side was largely made up of trialists and coaching staff - the only registered players to take part were Cameron Currie, Ashley Nathaniel-George, Matt Ball, Kezie Ibe, Reis Stanislaus and Keagan Cole - and the only goal came in the 5th minute when Ball fired home a drive from 25 yards into the roof of the net.

Gary McCann has made a further signing today, securing the signature of Chima "Daniel" Uchechi to the squad.
The 27 year old came through the youth set up at Charlton Athletic, and has previously been with West Ham United, Sheffield Wednesday, Aberdeen, AFC Eskilstuna (Sweden), Dalkurd FF (Sweden) and BSV Hurturkel (Germany). He made 19 appearances for Boreham Wood last season, one of which was in the FA Cup tie against us and has also represented Nigeria at U20 and U23 level.
Gary McCann said "I am pleased that a player of Daniel's ability and experience has joined the club."

For the 2017-2018 season, Hendon FC are delighted to announce a partnership with Film My Match, to film all 23 home games, with a 10mins highlights package and post-match interviews available a few days after each match.
As at our level, unfortunately good things are never free. Therefore, we would like to cover some of our costs of offering you this service with the following fee structure. The highlights will be on a pay-per-view basis, with individual matches at 2 pounds. Alternatively, a season ticket at just 40 pounds will enable you to pay once with a password enabling you to bypass the payment option for each viewing thereafter.
We will make our match v Harlow Town on 19 August free to view, so all supporters will be able to have a taster before you buy. As the season progresses, we will also aim to film a few away matches to see if there is interest. The links to highlights will be available on our website and advertised on our Facebook and Twitter feeds as and when they go live.
HFCTV are also looking for sponsors to support us. Sponsors will have their name and/or logo placed prominently on all HFCTV related content throughout the season.

We were sorry to hear of the passing of former player Arthur Peel, who died a few days ago.
Arthur made his debut on 3 March 1964, our first season in the Isthmian League, a 5-0 win over Hitchin Town at Top Field, and played his final game exactly 13 months later, a 6-0 defeat of Corinthian-Casuals at Claremont Road, when he scored the last of his six Hendon goals. A right-winger, Arthur played almost no part in the run to the Amateur Cup victory over Whitby Town, but he did net one of the goals in our 8-0 Middlesex Senior Cup semi-final victory over Harrow Town. Earlier in the season, he played in FA Cup tie against Port Vale and also won Middlesex County honours whilst with Hendon.
In his 13 months, Arthur found himself behind Roy Drake in the pecking order for the No.7 shirt, but he still made 37 appearances for the Greens (29 in the Isthmian League and eight in various cup competitions). When he left Hendon, Arthur joined Wembley as Player-Coach.
With thanks to Chris, Steve and Phil Rogers, yet again, for the awesome amount of information available on our excellent website and to Peter Lush for the information in the Hendon history book.

The first team continued their preparations for the new campaign with a 1-0 win at Conference South side Whitehawk. A great team performance was rewarded in the 77th minute when Niko Muir found the back of the net.

The first team were beaten 3-2 by a very strong Ebbsfleet United side, but put in an excellent performance, giving their National League opponents some tough times, particularly in the first half.
The opening goal fell to the Greens and saw Niko Muir slip the ball home after excellent work from Keagan Cole in the 16th minute.
Ebbsfleet equalised in the 55th minute through the experienced Danny Kedwell, and further goals from Darren McQueen and Danny Mills looked to have made the game safe, but Lewis Davis made the last couple of minutes interesting with an outstanding curling shot.
