MGBSFL DIVISION TWO
FC TEAM C 4 AC MILL HILL 5
A man-of-the-match performance from Jason Shoffman inspired AC Mill Hill to a crucial win over promotion rivals FC Team C.
The battle for second place remains wide open after Mill Hill won a nine-goal thriller courtesy of a hat-trick from Ben Zloof and two from Jonny Kaye.
In a match-up between two of the division's leading marksmen, Zloof put Mill Hill ahead, only for Team top-scorer Adam Stolerman to level things up.
Kaye then registered a quickfire double to put Mill Hill in the ascendency, before Zloof completed his hat-trick with two more, sandwiched in between another effort from Stolerman.
Mill Hill went in at the break leading 5-2, but Team rallied superbly in the second half and their pressure was rewarded with a stunning free-kick from Matt Davis.
The drama continued as Stolerman missed a penalty before making amends to complete his hat-trick. With their lead reduced to one goal, it was backs-to-the-wall stuff for Mill Hill, but they firm in the last 15 minutes to claimed an important win.
Relieved Mill Hill boss Dan Beresford told JC Sport: "I thought it was all going to go wrong, but we held on for a massive three points. It's now a great end to the season.
"This was undoubtedly our best performance of the season and we were unplayable in the first half."
