This week's top JC Team was arguably the toughest to pick this season, with some big performances in some important matches.
David Grossman (FC Team A) - "outstanding and commanding" display in the goalless draw against promotion rivals Brady. Brilliant performances from Ollie Segal, Jake Weiner and Jason Wood ensured that there was no way past him
John Lessem (Glenthorne United A) - "after his team went down to 10 men early on, Lessem stepped in at centre half and was solid, winning everything in the air and on the ground”
Darryl Green (Woodford Wanderers) - "striker filled in at centre back. Was solid all game and got the team playing good football from the back"
Alex Taylor (Faithfold A) - was an absolute rock at the heart of the Faithfold defence which restricted a Neasden team containing Gershfield, Cash and Ellis to just one goal from a set-piece. One of many heroes in the famous Superhoops shirt on the day
Eddie Manson (Oakwood) - impressed both managers with a commanding performance as he blunted the Raiders attack
Adam Rosenfeld (UJIA) - "worked the Catford full-back hard for 90 minutes"
Scott Ackerman (Inter Borehamwood) - scored one and involved in several others. Back to his best
Simon Levene (North West Neasden C) - "had an outstanding game in the middle and scored an excellent goal"
Toby Katz (North London Raiders C) - "a stunning winner with eight minutes to go and wonderful assist for Jamie Marks' first goal for the club. Toby ran the midfield for Raiders and put in a performance to savor and a goal worthy of winning any match"
Ben Isaacs (Temple Fortune A) - "back to his best with two quality strikes, including the second one where he ran half the length of the pitch, beating three defenders and popping it in the corner"
Daran Bern (Redbridge Jewish Care A) - scored two goals and took the game to Raiders at every opportunity. Will be the key man over the next couple of weeks when Redbridge attempts to seal a first-ever Premier Division title followed by the JC Cyril Anekstein Cup final
