Road to Wembley - Happiness isn't a team called Hamlet

Hendon are through to the third qualifying round of the FA Cup after seeing off our one-round wonders Dulwich Hamlet 2-1 in a replay at Harrow Borough FC last week. The first game at Champion Hill ended 2-2 in front of 353 people.

In this game Hamlet found themselves a goal and a man down but put in a stunning second half display that almost snatched an improbably victory. NOEL and CUMBERBATCH scoring the goals earning a replay.

Goals from Dave Diedhiou and Harry Hunt gave the Greens a 2-0 lead at half-time in a game held at Harrow Borough, before the NOEL pulled one back after the break for Hamlet.

Hendon will now host AFC Telford of the Blue Square North Div on October 11. The match will be played at Wembley FC. Hendon are currently homeless after their home for 80 years at Claremont Road in Brent Cross was shut. Hendon, who are owned by a supporters trust have been playing home games "wherever they can," and their future is in serious doubt.

The crowd for the Hamlet replay for a game that was played at Harrow was just 139, the lowest of the season. More on the plight of Hendon soon.
