It was a memorable day for Brady Maccabi A who put defending champions Redbridge Jewish Care A to the sword 2-0 at Rowley Lane, while the JC cameras saw Chigwell Athletic win the top-of-the-table clash 3-0 against promotion rivals Norstar A in Division One of the JC MSFL. Elsewhere, a last-gasp strike from Jeremy Leigh maintained UJIA's promotion challenge in Division Three in a thriller against Los Blancos. Danny Caro looks back on all the action.

JC SAVE OF THE WEEK
Ryan Monk (Boca Jewniors) - made a magnificent quadruple save, first diving to his top right to keep out an amazing effort from Ricky Lawrence and then to get up immediately and tip another shot away from goal. Applause form both sides followed
JC MISS OF THE WEEK
Dave Lusman (Shirley Park) - ghosted in unnnoticed, beating the offside trap, from a Plotnek cross, took the ball down with the goal practically empty and managed to lose his bearings, missed the ball and his on my face instead of tapping the ball in to an empty net. The random onlookers and the Park faithful were in fits of laughter
SUPERSUB OF THE WEEK: THE CONTENDERS
1. Jason Lindsay (Oakwood) - only played 25 minutes but made a stunning debut ... quite possibly a season defining moment for his new team
2. Adam Barton (Faithfold C) - two goals helped the Superhoops come from 0-2 down to claim their first win of the season against title-chasing Hendon B
JC CELEBRATION OF THE WEEK
