It was a goalless reunion between Hendon and Gary McCann at Billericay Town's New Lodge last night as the two sides played out a 0-0 draw.
With two matches remaining in Hendon's preseason against AFC Welwyn on Thursday, and St Ives Town on Saturday, things looked to be coming together against one of the much-fancied sides in the Isthmian Premier Division.
The only sour note for Hendon was an injury sustained to Dan Matsuzaka in the second half.
