David Garbacz insists Hendon United Sports Club only have themselvse to blame after their MGBSFL Premier Division title hopes were dealt an almighty blow following a 2-1 defeat against a rejuvenated Maccabi London Lions at Rowley Lane.

A stunning individual effort from Team Maccabi GB star Dovi Fehler had put Hendon in charge, but the Lions rallied superbly with goals from Thomas Priars and James Gold sealing a famous win.

Played on the G3 surface at Rowley Lane, a pre-kick off team-talk from ex-Premier League star and now Lions coach Mikele Leighterwood was all about keeping to the instructions and providing a disciplined performance.

That’s exactly what the Lions delivered down to a man. Ed Bloom in goal made save after save to richly deserve his man of the match accolades.
