Hendon started 2020 with defeat as they went down 2-1 to title chasing Chesham United this afternoon at Meadow Park.

After a goalless first half in which Ben Goode made a number of fine saves from Kingsley Eshun, David Pearce bundled home a rebound in the second half to give the hosts the lead, and Eoin Casey doubled the lead with 17 minutes remaining.

Liam Brooks reduced the arrears from the penalty spot in stoppage time but it was too little too late for the Greens.
