NOMINATIONS

NORTH LONDON RAIDERS

Josh Bloom (Defence) - solid as ever. Rounded off a good display with a goal against Brook Farm Rovers

Brad Lander (Defence) - bombing up and down the touchline all game. Excellent performance

David Nezri (Midfield) - back now from injury. An absolute beast in midfield. Completely controlled the game and dictated the tempo

Jordan Nathan (Midfield) - playing out of position as part of rotation. Didn’t give the full-back a minute's pieces. One goal and one assist

Matt Warner (Midfield) - once again brilliant. One goal and another assist to add to his growing collection. Probably our most improved player since last season.

Aron Gale (Forward) - another two goals in a 20-minute cameo. His reputation keeps growing

--------------------

FC TEAM

Adam Klein (LB) – solid on debut, good use of the football

Adam Shafron (CB) – superb in leading the defence

--------------------

HENDON UNITED SPORTS

Josh Bentley (CB) - came in today and didn't put a foot wrong, won everything in the air and on the ground and was super. Man of the Match for sure

Danny Kon (Striker) - his first game for Hendon in five years and what better way to top it off with a cooly taken last-minute winner

--------------------

NORTH WEST LONDON BEARS

Louis Martin (Defence) - quality performance at left-back, dealing with any danger and playing superb balls in behind to our strikers

Rory Carlson (Midfield) - ran the show today, kept the game ticking and must have run at least 10K. Scored one of the best individual goals you’ll see at this level

Sam Morris (Striker) - two goals and two off the woodwork. Caused the Chigwell defence a lot of problems and held the ball up well

Zacki Doumou (Striker) - been out for eight weeks with an ankle injury. To score and get two assists on his return was class. Pace and power was too much for Chigwell to deal with

--------------------

BORUSSIA BARNET

Adam Freedman (CB) - played out of position and was brilliant, with Sam Lipton coming down ill this morning

--------------------

MLFC BLUE

Ricky Rinder (midfield) - a terrific defensive midfield performance, leading the team in his words and his playing display. A key part of the teams success

--------------------

TEMPLE FORTUNE

Nick Stern (right-back) - warrior, character and determination throughout 

Liam Stein (centre mid) - absolutely wanted it and didn’t stop winning all his 50/50s - dominating in the middle and also created the first 2 goals

Gary Hyams (centre forward) - three ice-cool and well-taken finishes

--------------------

NORTH LONDON GALAXY

Jamie Murray (Defence) - light work for him. Reads the game exceptionally well and sets the tempo from centre-back. Him and Zac Rose are forming a great CB pairing and got the clean sheet his performance deserved.. unlucky to not have had a goal to go with it but shock he can’t finish his dinner

Josh Shack (Midfield) - numerous pre-assists, receiving the ball on the half turn and playing immense intricate passes through the Redbridge defensive to open them up. Effortless for Dinho today and worked his socks off, wearing the armband in pride. 

Adam Burchell (Striker) - one goal, three assists. Levels above the standard today. We’ve had Jack Mattey play for Galaxy (an outstandingly talented Jewish winger) but this boy is just different. Pace galore but absolutely ruthless with his finishing and final ball. A pleasure to see live in the flesh - hopefully he’ll be back in the country again in time for an end of year final

Ethan Kessel (Midfield) - two goals to top off a centre-midfield masterclass. The Ginger Zidane, working harder than anyone else and with goal-line technology would’ve had a hat trick after an audacious left foot dink bounced off the underside of the bar and over the line - but wasn’t given by the ref. One of the most complete CM performances Luke Lewis has witnessed at Galaxy. Vision galore and composure overload.. again, another outstanding Jewish talent who is fit to play levels above today’s standard

--------------------

HERTSWOOD VALE

Harry Marlow (ST) - in the absence of Harry Graham, Marlow stepped up today with arguably his best performance in a Vale shirt. Ran the Jewdinese defence ragged and grabbed an assist after a bit of impressive individual brilliance. 

Adam Morrow (CM) - stepped up in the absence of midfield lynchpin Charlie Becker with a solid performance. Never stopped running and gave Jewdinese very little to work with in midfield. Not sure what he had for breakfast but it definitely worked!

Jordan Harris (LB) - can’t give this kid a break! In three of the last four games he’s faced Yehuda Korman, Liron Mannie and today, Reiss Mogilner. Kept the MGBSFL player of the decade quiet all game - a huge part of our win. Grabbed himself another assist with a clever rollback for Miller

--------------------

PARIS SAINT-JEWMAIN

Dylan Levi (midfield)- has really excelled in the last two games in his new role as a winger. Was a constant threat down the left hand side and scored a very well-taken goal

Zac Summerfield (midfield) - again has been magnificent playing in a new position (CM) in the last two games. Ran the game and scored possibly the MGBSFL goal of the decade already. The momentum of the game completely changed when he unfortunately had to come off injured

--------------------

FAITHFOLD DOCMM WHITE

Eli Davila (CB) - Nothing ever gets passed him, plays excellent football and really organises the defence well

Martin Smulovitch (CB) - Another superb performance. Will come home today and when he empties his pockets will find 11 Fairlop players there!

Avi Mocton (DCM) - Was at the heart of everything Faithfold today. Time and time again broke up Fairlop possession wining the ball back and laying it off to others to start the attack
