Wingate & Finchley saw off higher-league Hendon in a pre-season friendly at the Abrahams Stadium last night.

Leon Nelson opened the scoring after the half hour, before David Laird wrapped it up with five minutes to go.

It was the Greens' worst performance of what had been an encouraging pre-season.

The Blues, who play in Ryman League Division One North, can certainly take encouragement from this derby win over their Premier Division neighbours.
