Farnborough had won just once in their last nine matches in all competitions, while visiting Hendon had fared almost as badly, with just one win in eight.
And, although the Greens had plenty of chances in the game, it was Boro who pulled to within two points of fourth-bottom Brentwood Town and six of the safety mark, after a hard-fought 1-0 win.
The only goal of the game came in the 74th minute from Estonian U21 international striker Bogdan Vastsuk, who is on loan from hampionship side Reading.
