NOMINATIONS

OAKWOOD B
Aaron Searle (CM) - exceptional performance and by far Oakwood B's best player. Earned plaudits from the opposition bench and worked incredibly hard

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

REDBRIDGE JEWISH CARE A
Russell Corin (Hendon GK) - for a string of unbelievable saves but his leap to keep out Goldman’s goal bound header was World Class.
Zack Lewis (Hendon) - his 15 minutes at the start of the game was as good as anyone has played against us all season
Steve Summers (S) - worked so hard up front on his own and keeping three defenders occupied, opened up the space for our other players to exploit
Ryan Cole (LB) - another barnstorming performance, especially as he felt his groin go after 20 minutes
Adam Hakimi (CB) - a superb match saving tackle with the scores at 2-2 and then the winner in the dying minutes
Darren Brown (CB) - returning for one week only, he was magnificent at the back and having brought his son, Eytan, to watch, could this be a permanent return
Daniel Garfinkle (LW) – simply unplayable, and it was summed up when the Hendon right-back was subbed off and the guy coming on asked to go to left-back instead

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

HENDON UNITED SPORTS CLUB A
Russ Corin (GK) - a succession of top class saves to keep us in the game – did not deseve to end up on losing side
Avi Korman (M) - more than held his own in a top quality midfield – true battling display

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

SCRABBLE FC
Anthony Goodmaker (CB) - Goodie has his best game of the season for us today at the heart of the back four and was always a danger with his long throws and when he came forward to join the attack
Adam Newman (CM) - so committed in every tackle and left nothing on the pitch
Josh Flax (CM) - ran tirelessly for 90 minutes hassling and probing at the Catford defence

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

FC TEAM B
Gideon Moss (CB) - back in the team and was outstanding in the second half
Richard Salmon (S) - unbelievable set-up play for first goal and led attack brilliantly

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

CATFORD & BROMLEY MACCABI
Richard Adams (CM) - controlled the game against Scrabble, won everything and led the team superbly. "Best performance" Jeff Gotch has seen from him in 20 years"

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

SPEC FC
Zack Neiman (S) scored four goals and was a constant menace to the Sosobad defence from minute one

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

WOODFORD WANDERERS
Tom Alexander (S) – put in an absolute shift up front and capped his performance off with a brilliant goal

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

L'EQUIPE
Josh Lewis (LB) - had a blinding game against Boca Jewniors, flying up and down the left flank – a brick wall at one end and creating chance after chance at the other. His performance was topped off with a well-deserved goal, now meaning that he has scored in every one of L’Equipe’s nine seasons. The only outfield player in history to always have a bottle of water with him throughout every game to prevent any potential (and likely) passing out, he ran himself so hard into the ground that on this occasion, he even had two bottles of water close at hand. A L’Equipe legend through and through

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

REDBRIDGE JEWISH CARE B
Sam Moss (AM) - had a tough week of Accountancy exams and finished the week of in style with a breathtaking performance. Was involved in all RJC B good passing moves and put on the second goal on a plate for inform David Fialka

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

MACCABI LONDON LIONS A
James Harpin (GK) - 16-year-old was absolutely superb, and was faultless throughout the game
Nick Landesberg (CB) - looked comfortable at the centre of the defence, alongside Zac Rose
Andy Glynne (M) - back playing after injury and a honeymoon. He settled things down and was very tidy
Max Kyte (S) - was a colossus up top

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

NORTH LONDON RAIDERS A
Matt Stock (S) – first game since last year’s Anekstein cup final though you wouldn’t have known it. Very classy performance, scored one and had a hand in nearly everything good from an attacking sense
Josh Green – (S) – Two cracking goals and a great all-round performance

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

OAKWOOD A
Daniel Cohen (GK) - was excellent throughout. Made some terrific saves
Austin Lipman (Lions) - was unplayable at times but he was playing in the Conference South last season! Bit of a step up from the MSFL!
Josh Kennet and Max Kyte (both Liosn) - were also a threat throughout

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

ATHLETIC BILBAUM
Ben Bell (LM) - a constant menace and took his goal delightfully to celebrate his birthday!
Josh Pugh (CM) - a stunning free-kick and dictated the tempo throughout

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

NORTH LONDON RAIDERS C
Charles Braunstein (CB/CM) - 60 minutes at the back and 60 in the middle - Braunstein was as solid as he's been all season and his fitness and electric pace were just what Raiders needed towards the end. Capped with two fine goals as well
Liam Stein (lb) - a real captain's performance. Consistent as ever at left-back, didn't put a foot wrong at the back and a threat when he went forward
