Hendon lost 2-0 at Ashford Town (Middlesex), with their task being made all the more difficult when Dean Green was sent off in the first minute for alleged violent conduct. In fact, all Green had done was to push an Ashford player off his foot after the Ashford man had inadvertently stepped on Greens' foot. Ashford were in control throughout the game, and made their extra man count taking the lead in the 7th minute through Ricky Wellard. Former Hendon midfielder Paul Johnson doubled the lead shortly before half-time. It must be said that the ten men of Hendon worked really hard to try and get back into the game but it wasn't to be. A day to forget.
