Hendon came away from their visit to Walton Casuals with a 1-1 draw in a very hard fought contest at the Xcel Hub.
Joe White opened the scoring on 31 minutes, following up Percy Kiangebeni's parried effort before Jerson dos Santos netted on his Walton debut midway through the second half to ensure a share of the points.
Both sides had chances to win the game and goalkeeper Jonathan North left the field injured in stoppage time following a collision, but walked off as Alfie Bonfield made his Hendon debut.
