It was a good first workout of preseason at Silver Jubilee Park this afternoon as the first team ran out 4-1 winners against Northwood.

The Hendon line up fielded a few trialists, including potential returnees Jamie Busby, following a three year break from the game, and Scott Shulton. Other trialists were Melvin Minter, a keeper formerly with Hayes & Yeading United and Brentford U21s, Courtney Harris a midfielder from Fulham, Jake Cass, a forward who has previously been with AFC Hayes and East Thurrock United, Freddy Champion who has been on the books of QPR, Chelsea and Spurs, Melvin N'Somi and Denis Meta.

All the goals came in the second half, with Max Holland giving Northwood the lead, before Andre Da Costa hit a hat-trick, including a penalty, and Aaron Morgan completed the scoring with an excellent strike from 20 yards.

Next up is a trip to Tring Athletic on Tuesday evening.
