The first team came away from Gosport Borough empty handed on a chilly, wet afternoon on the south coast. The final score was 3-1, and the three points deservedly stayed in Hampshire.

However, had it not been for a string of good saves in the first 20 minutes from Pat O'Flaherty, the Greens could have been well in front. They did indeed take the lead, albeit by then against the run of play, in the 39th minute when Shaquille Hippolyte-Patrick added to his collection of fine goals this season. However, within two minutes Craig McAllister, who has been a thorn in the side of Hendon over a number of years, equalised for the home side.

The second half belonged to Gosport, and they took the lead in the 63rd minute through Tony Lee, who took full advantage of a rare misjudgment by Danny Boness, before securing the points late on when Patrick Suraci found the back of the net.

Next up is a much shorter trip, this time to Kings Langley on Tuesday evening - kick off is at 7:45pm.
