Hendon slipped to defeat at in-form Taunton Town this afternoon in front of a bumper crowd at a blustery Wordsworth Avenue with the home side winning 3-1.

Jay Foulston opened the scoring with a well-taken volley just past the half-hour mark, a lead that was doubled by Jake Wannell's stooping header four minutes after the break.

Hamza Semakula reduced the arrears with a strike from 25-yards that was too hot for the home goalkeeper to handle before Ross Stearn restored the home side's advantage with a brilliant overhead kick to seal a tenth straight win.
