Two goals in the first half were enough to see Hendon go down to a 2-0 defeat at Lowestoft Town this evening.

The Greens plans were hindered shortly before kick-off as James Archer had to be replaced in the starting line-up by Carl McCluskey.

The first goal came in the 21st minute through Matt Nolan, and it was Dale Cockrill who doubled the lead with a 35th minute penalty.
