Hendon pulled 7 points clear of the drop zone with five matches remaining of the season with a vital 2-0 win at play-off chasing Poole Town.
In a match low on quality but with plenty of endeavour Ryan Hope celebrated his representative call-up with the opening goal after 78 minutes, drilling a low shot into the corner of the net before substitute Ogo Obi made the game safe in stoppage time with a trademark free-kick from 20 yards.
The result moves the Greens up to 15th place in the table.
