The Yellows are the form team of the division right now with that success – courtesy of goals in each half from Toby Down and Jack Crago and a resilient defensive performance – making it one defeat in nine now for Lee Hobbs’ men.
“Defensively, how can you not praise those boys?” Hobbs said after the weekend win. “They outplayed us for long periods, but we outworked them and we knew they would try and match that, but we would have to better it and we did.
“The goalkeeper (Adam Parkes) was sensational but the blocks and the desire to want to get up to the ball and put bodies on the line to keep a third clean sheet in a row is testament to who we are right now, but Hendon are a top team and the manager has done a great job since keeping them up last year.”
Asked what has changed since the start of the season, when Parkway found themselves bottom after another slow start to the campaign, Hobbs said: “Personnel. That’s not being disrespectful to the players we signed in the summer but the players we have in the building now, they have just got it and get it.
