Hendon were knocked out of the FA Cup this afternoon by a strong AFC Telford United side in the shadow of the arch of Wembley Stadium. Playing just down the road from the international side (who kicked off shortly after the end of the Greens' cup tie), the Bucks took early control of the tie taking the lead in the 11th minute through a Terry Fearns header. Hendon rallied well, and kept the Conference North side at bay for much of the half, but Lee Moore took advantage when the Dons were overcommitted just before the half-time break to put Telford 2-0 ahead.

An improved second half saw Hendon create a number of chances, with Ryan Young having to save well on a couple of occasions, but it took an injury time penalty for the home side to get their deserved consolation, Haule sliding the ball under Young's dive. Telford go into the hat for the 4th qualifying round draw on Monday, while the Greens are left to reflect with a "home" tie against Harrow Borough on Wednesday night at Northwood FC.
