Classy Corin puts champions in seven heaven

A hat-trick from midfield maestro GREG CORIN helped the defending champions finish in seventh heaven in front of the Sky Sports cameras in Harrow.

There were also goals for Ben Kon, Ari Last and two from Danny Kon as David Garbacz's men filled their boots at John Lyon School.

Hendon manager David Garbacz told JC Sport: "Like British rail we are getting there – this was not the ultimate perfect performance despite the score-line as there were times when our defence still looked a little shaky and we needed Russell [Corin] to be on top form to ensure a clean sheet – but the result was never in doubt and going forward that is the best we have played for quite a few weeks.

"We hope we were able to give the watching Sky Sports cameras some decent footage. It is just the confidence fillip we need going into massive games against Faithfold and Oakwood and I wouldn’t be writing the Hendon championship obituary quite yet.

"For probably the first game all season we had Greg Corin back to full fitness and he showed how important he is to us with a fine all round display – his first goal today was right out of the top-drawer.

"We know there will be tougher games to come, but Norstar still put up a pretty good fight without much luck. We wish them all the best for the rest of the season – they are a good young team and I’m sure will start picking up a few points soon.

"As far as we are concerned – half the league games are now played and we aim to go unbeaten for the second half and will not be giving up our title in a hurry."
