Hendon were eliminated from the FA Trophy this evening at the first stage by Fisher Athletic, going down 4-2. Fisher, who continually pulled the Hendon defence apart with their pace, had a goal disallowed for offside in the opening minute before the Greens took the lead after 11 minutes when a shot that was going wide from Jeff Campbell hit Andy Cook and flew into the net. However, the lead lasted a mere two minutes as Tim Clancey was left unmarked at the far post to equalise. In the 36th minute Ben Walshe slotted the ball into an empty net and five minutes later Steve Watts was also left unmarked to head home at the far post. Six minutes into the second half, it was the same again as Watts was once again unmarked at the far post to score. All six substitutions came in 15 minutes, during which Hendon started to get back into the game creating a number of chances. Unfortunately just one was converted when John Frendo finished off a fine move with an excellent strike. Fisher held on to win the game, and will go on to face the winners of tomorrows game between Windsor & Eton and Uxbridge. Speaking after the game Gary McCann said "They were just too good for us in the first hour but I must give the boys credit for the effort they put in tonight. We were just not as good as our opponents on the night"
