Hendon Under-21s kept their nerve and their discipline and avenged their recent 3–0 cup defeat at the hands of FC Vallence by beating them 4–1 in the Cherry Red Books Middlesex County League Division One Central & East .

They got off to a great start when Ercan YILDIRIM netted inside two minutes and they were comfortably on top until losing concentration and conceding a goal 10 minutes before half-time.

Fourteen minutes after the break, Daryl ATKINS restored Hendon’s lead and, after another 14 minutes, his excellent approach play led to a Vallance player scoring an OWN GOAL.

Playing with the confidence that comes from a clear lead, Hendon completed the scoring in the last couple of minutes, ATKINS grabbing his second.

“We played really well today,” said happy manager Eamon Finn. “The defence is getting better and better and looking more composed, too. My man of the match today was Dylan AGGAKO, who controlled the midfield.”
