It was Boxing Day delight for Lee Allinson as his side showed excellent resilience to pick up three crucial points to temporarily move out of the relegation zone for the first time this season.

After weathering an early Hanwell Town storm in the first 20 minutes, Joe White's 52nd minute goal, tapped in after his penalty was saved by Josh Strizovic, was enough to secure the points with the Hendon back four excellent throughout.

With an early kick off, the Greens moved out of the drop zone, until Yate Town's 2-2 draw with Merthyr moved the Bluebirds above.
