Kingstonian 3-0 Hendon
Kingstonian beat Hendon by three goals to nil at Kingsmeadow, courtesy of strikes from Paul Vines, Bobby Traynor and Bashiru Alimi.
Vines opened the scoring with a powerful header in the second minute of the game, with strike partner Bobby Traynor curling in a second in the penultimate minute of the half.
Hendon's Daniel Sintim was sent off for a wild lunge midway through the second half. Bashiru Alimi calmly slotted home a third goal in the 86th minute to move the K's back into the playoff places they had held all season until last week.

Wealdstone completed a hat-trick of wins over Kingstonian following a three-one win at Kingsmeadow.
Kurtney Brooks opened the scoring for the visitors in the 11th minute, a lead which was extended via Peter Dean in the 36th minute. Paul Vines pulled a goal back early in the second half but the Stones made the most of a penalty awarded for an offence outside the box to seal victory in the final minute.
The longest trip of the season saw Kingstonian take a share of the points, following an exciting one-all draw at Lowestoft.
The Suffolk hosts dominated the early stages, though could not add to a fifth minute Joe Francis goal. The K's ended the half in the ascendancy, having levelled the score through captain Bashiru Alimi, heading in a rebound after Bobby Traynor's effort had been saved.
The second half followed a similar pattern to the first. Both sides had efforts cleared off the line, though the defining chance came in the final minutes as Traynor broke through only to see his strike fingertipped onto the crossbar by home goalkeeper Andy Reynolds.
The fifth Supporters Club draw of the season for club shop vouchers has taken place, with 10 winning member names now available on the Supporters Club page. Draws continue throughout the course of the season for another 30 tickets so make sure you get your membership if you already haven't done so!
Kingstonian and Aveley shared the points following a one-all draw draw at Mill Field. Bobby Traynor had given the K's a 19th minute lead, slotting home minutes after seeing an identical effort saved. The hosts however levelled before the break when scoring a rebound after Rob Tolfrey had saved a free kick. Allan Tait almost scored a late winning goal, when his looping header clipped the crossbar.
The club is pleased to announce the signing of defender Tom Hutchinson (28) from Conference South side Lewes. Tom is from Kingston but started his senior career at Dundee in the Scottish Premier Division, having been a youngster at Fulham. He has since made over a hundred appearances for Woking.
Manager Alan Dowson comments, "Tom is an player I've been after for a while and he's a born winner."
Kingstonian came back from a goal down to beat Croydon Athletic by two goals to one. Joe Dolan levelled the scores from close range on the stroke of half time, before Bobby Traynor fired in the winning goal from a tight angle in the 79th minute.
The club is pleased to announce the signings of left-sided player Jordan Cheadle from Merstham, midfielder Nick Green from Bromley (dual registration) and forward Paul Vines from Bromley (one month loan). Meanwhile, midfielder Mo Harkin has returned from a loan spell at Walton & Hersham.
Manager Alan Dowson comments, "We've got a fairly small squad, but it's time we freshened it up. Jordan is an exciting young player, Nick is comfortable on the ball, and Paul has a track record of being one of the best strikers in this league. We've not been able to see much of Mo yet this season, and he didn't get as many games as we hoped at Walton due to injury and so probably still needs a few more under his belt, but we need his quality back in the team.
"I've got a couple of others I'm working on - one of them is a prospect at a Football League club but he's been called into their squad today so we'll wait and see."
Midfielder Matt Gray has left the club to join Met Police. Matt made 75 appearances (9 goals), for the club since joining from Carshalton at the start of last season.
Defender/Midfielder Lee Hall has joined Met Police on loan. Lee has made 60 appearances (1 goal) for the club since joining from Harrow at the start of last season.
Manager Alan Dowson comments, "Matt has provided us with good football on the pitch, and supported us in our socials off it. Lee is a bit short on confidence at the moment, so we've sent him out to get games and will have a look at him again in a month. I wish them both the best."
