The Greens put in another disappointing performance this afternoon as they slipped to a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Basingstoke Town. In a forgettable game, the only goal came in the 59th minute when Efon Elad took advantage of a slip in the Hendon defence to drive the ball home. Hendon's best chance fell to new signing Fabian Forde, but he saw his shot on goal blocked by a defender. Hendon will now go into 2004 looking to end the poor home form of the past couple of years.
