Despite a battling performance, particularly in the second half, Hendon lost 2-1 at Salisbury City and slipped to 10th place in the table. Salisbury took the lead in the 28th minute when they launched a counter attack which was completed by the unmarked Adam Wallace who headed the ball home. Just before half time Hendon were awarded a free kick just outside the 18 yard box which was duly converted by Dave Sargent as he curled the ball inside the near post. However there was still time for the Greens to concede a debatable penalty, the referee admitted at half time he had made a mistake, and Wallace fired home the spot kick. Hendon battled to find an equaliser in the second half, but John Frendo saw an excellent shot hit the bar and then the post before bouncing to safety, Gary Meakin hit a shot just over the bar while Mark Nicholls and Wayne Carter both saw shots go narrowly wide. Eugene Ofori had earlier hit the post in the first half. It turned out that it wasn't to be Hendon's day, and they left Wiltshire having been defeated
