Hendon aim to make it five wins in a row on Saturday afternoon as they welcome Yate Town to Silver Jubilee Park.

The Greens come into this game in confident mood, having scored 11 goals and conceded just 1 in their past 4 games. This fine form has seen the Greens climb up to 14th in the table, 4 points clear from the bottom three. The visitors, however, sit 19th in the table and stand out of the relegation zone on goal difference.

They are in their own spell of good form having taken all 3 points against Chesham and Taunton (both won 4-1) whilst drawing against Poole and Walton Casuals. The points were shared in the encounter between the two sides earlier in the season in a 2-2 draw, with Yate leaving it till very late to snatch a draw with almost the last kick of the game after Luca Valentine and Connor Calcutt had looked to have secured the points for the Greens.

Hendon will be without Tommy Smith who has sustained an injury that will sideline him for the rest of the season. Meanwhile, Yate have bolstered their squad with the extended loans of 4 Bristol City academy players; Sam Bell, Tommy Conway, Joe Lowe and James Taylor, all of which have featured and impressed for Yate in recent weeks.

Both teams will look to take all 3 points to extend the gap to the bottom three in what promises to be an entertaining contest.
