The Under-18's lost 3-1 at home to Wingate & Finchley, but competed well until they conceded 2 goals in the last 5 minutes. After Wingate had taken a half time lead, Hendon equalised through Brian Haule. However, manager Steve Neville felt able to take a number of positives out of the game as he looks to strengthen his squad as we go into the new year.
