Hendon slipped to their first pre-season defeat of the campaign as they lost 3-2 at a well-organised Ware side. Both sides played good football throughout the game, with Ware going 3-0 ahead with goals from Chris Ellerbeck, Sam Berry and John Frendo. Hendon came back late on to make the scoreline more reflective of the balance of play with goals from Dean Green and Jazz Rose.
