Dan Breger (M) - won every challenge and was the heart bestow the team
Richard Salmon (S) - another outstanding performance from the big man

Adam Blin (RM) - a right-back playing right-midfield. A goal, an assist, up and down the right flank all game. Tireless and a man mountain. Didn't deserve to lose
Dave Eden (M) - returned from injury in a difficult defensive midfield position. Kept the ball moving, kept possession, made tackles. Great performance
Dan Ash (M) - powerful and incisive running from midfield. Tricky and at times unstoppable
-----------------------
HENDON UNITED SPORTS CLUB A
Yoav Kestenbaum (S) - ran rings around the Redbridge back four in a powerhouse performance full of strength and skill
Avi Korman (M) - scored an unbelievable equaliser to cap yet another brilliant midfield display - well on course for Young Player of the Year
-----------------------
L'EQUIPE
Andy Smith (S) - once again led the line with unbelievable talent, topping it off with another two goal salvo including one ‘worldy’
Nick Stern (M) - with the help of his midfield partner (see below) was able to protect the lead built by L’Equipe despite playing with 10 men, a brilliant performance capped off by an even better ‘worldy’ goal
Richard ‘Scotty’ Alexander (M) - a brilliant all-round performance back in the heart of the midfield. Covered every bit of ground asked of him giving 100% till the very end. Could barely move after the game
James Mandell (S) - a welcome return for all l’equipe fans for James Mandell. Was exceptional all morning beating all defenders in front of him and providing great support for Andy even when down to 10 men
-----------------------
BOCA JEWNIORS
Lioz Tov (S) - ran his socks off and harrassed the MLL defence
Dale Bradman (D) - was in commanding form

REDBRIDGE JEWISH CARE A

-----------------------
SHACHARIT DONETSK
Elliot Nussbaum (M) - "he tactically got it spot on and has to take full credit for our victory. We as massive underdogs took on a King Crown team genuinely contending this season and he got it spot on. Credit of course has to go to the 11 hungover players who attended a big party the night before and I've never been prouder to play under Nussbaum or be a Shacharit Donetsk player"
-----------------------
FC TEAM C
David Gordon (GK) – made five or six saves to keep FC Team in the game
Dan Alfreds (LM) – played a part for every single goal and his corner delivery was superb
