Finally the beginning of the season is just hours away and a trip to Braintree Town awaits on Saturday afternoon. The Iron finished in the play offs last season, losing in the semi-finals to Eastleigh, and will be keen to make a challenge for the title this season. Manager George Borg has made some shrewd signings during the summer including goalkeeper Nick Morgan from Southend United, experienced striker Carl Griffiths from Heybridge Swifts and former Hendon striker Ricci Crace. The good news for Hendon supporters is that Gary McCann goes into the game with the whole squad fit and available. We hope that as many supporters will be able to make the trip to Essex on Saturday afternoon and get behind the team and hopefully cheer them on to a good start to the season. Kick off at Cressing Road is at 3.00pm. Admission is £8.00 for adults and £4.00 for concessions.
