GREENS FOR GO ON THE TROPHY TRAIL

IT'S THE ROAD TO WEMBLEY IN THE ISUZU FA TROPHY

- MATT BADCOCK

ALLINSON Hendon's EE says Isuzu FA Trophy tie with National League big hitters is reward for all the people who keep the Step 3 club's show on the road.

Allinson's side won their second successive National League South scalp by beating Weymouth last weekend.

A 2-0 victory took the Southern Premier South Greens into the fourth round with Eastbourne Borough, Walton & Hersham, and AFC Sudbury all conquered along the way.

Former Biggleswade Town boss Allinson says Oldham were the draw he wanted and he says it will be more than a game of cup football.

"It's not about us as a management team, it's not so much about the players - it's about the supporters and people behind the scenes who fight tooth and nail every week to make sure the football club is still alive," Allinson told The NLP.

"We can give them some thing now that can live long in the memory. Hendon Football Club has got a fantastic tradition but over the last 15 years, other than the play-off final against Dulwich with Gary (McCann), they haven’t really had much to look forward to. This gives them something to look forward to and creates great memories for the football club.”
