THE REAL NORTH LONDON DERBY


Much of the football focus will be on Capital this Saturday as The North London Derby takes place between Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur in the early kick off Barclay's Premier League television game.

However, just a few miles up the road at 3pm THE REAL NORTH LONDON DERBY takes place between Enfield Town and Hendon in the Ryman Premier Division. The bonus being you can watch this game live for a fraction of the price and use all the fantastic facilities Enfield Town's stadium in Donkey Lane has to offer.

It's an important game for both sides with Hendon looking for points to climb away from the bottom of the table and the home side looking to stabilise their position in mid-table and move upwards.

There are many links between both sides with Hendon managed by Gary McCann who fans will recognise from his time with Enfield FC in the 1990s and Town's Captain Mark Kirby being an ex Greens player. Town manager Steve Newing also wore the famous green shirt of Hendon making a few appearances from 1984 to 1987 with Hendon's centre forward Greg Ngoyi playing at Edgware Town when Steve and some of the Enfield squad played at The White Lion Ground.

All the action kicks off at 3pm.
