Hendon began their Isthmian League Cup campaign with a much-needed win over Division 1 North side, Newmarket Town this evening in another goal-fest at Silver Jubilee Park.

Lonit Talla scored the only goal of the first half after 8 minutes, following up Kai Brosnan's saved hot to nod home, before two goals early in the second half gave the Greens control of the tie.

Billie Busari latched onto a long ball forward to finish confidently before being fouled a few minutes later for a penalty that Niko Muir converted.

Jacob Mingey reduced the arrears from the spot for The Jockeys before Muir added his second of the evening a couple of minutes later, and sub Shaun Lucien added a fine fifth to cap a decent evening for the Greens.
