Hendon lost to the only goal this afternoon, as a Richard Jolly strike in the first half earned Carshalton all three points at their War Memorial Ground. A much brighter performance from the Greens saw an even first half, both sides forcing smart saves from the respective 'keepers, but it was only after a quick counter-attack that the Robins broke the deadlock, Jolly on hand to fire the home side ahead.

Hendon continued to probe however, and undoubtedly had more of the posession and chances in the second half, O'Leary hitting the bar with a free kick, and Stuart Searle being forced to get down on several occasions to keep the lead intact. However, controversy reigned late on as around 10 minutes from time Hendon were denied a goal as the ball hit the bar, bounced in the vicinity of the goalline and out to be claimed by Searle. Almost immediately from his clearance, the Dons broke again and Haule was brought down by Toppin inside the 6 yard box, but the referee waved away the visiting side's claims.
