Two first-half goals set Hendon on the way to a second consecutive league win as they beat Merthyr Town 2-0 at Penydarren Park.

There was no Player of the Month hangover for Hamza Semakula as he put the Greens into a 6th minute lead with a cool finish from just inside the penalty area for his first goal for the club.

Liam Brooks made it two goals in two matches just before half-time from a spot kick to give the visitors a 2-goal lead at the interval.

There was further succour for Hendon fans with the return late on of Joe White from injury as an 87th minute substitute for Wilson Carvalho as Lee Allinson's side held on to record a clean sheet and lift some of the gloom of the past week.
