A superb third minute goal from Isaac Galliford was enough to settle the Allinson family derby at Silver Jubilee Park yesterday afternoon.

After going ahead, Hendon defended superbly with Marcin Brzozowski making a string of fine interventions as St Albans pushed for an equaliser, while the Greens continued to threaten on the break.

The game was marred by a double sending off for Guri Demuria and a St Albans trialist shortly before the end following their part in an unseemly square dance.

Next up for the Greens we travel to Imperial Fields for the first time since our play-off final defeat against Dulwich four years ago, to take on Tooting & Mitcham United.
