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

NOMINATIONS

BAYERN MINCHA

Joseph Manuel Nyman (GK) - a fantastic debut from the keeper, with a couple of outstanding saves. We fancy him to get several clean sheets for the lads this season.

Rafi Terespolsky (RB) - A CM who filled in at right-back and didn't put a foot wrong all game. He made a crucial goal-line clearance at 1-0 which was a big moment in the game

Adam Ellis (S) - five goals for him today and he was virtually unstoppable with his pace, power and finishing. I back him for the golden boot this season

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

CATFORD & BROMLEY MACCABI

Alex Jacobs - came on changed the game and scored a belter from 30 yards

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

NORTH LONDON RAIDERS A

Alex Moss and Ben Joseph (both CM) - Both pulled the strings, got on the scoresheet and were the best two players on the pitch

Dan Shafron (Manager) - two losses and at 2-0 down, it didn't look good but made key game changing substitutions and positional changes which resulted in a great comeback and an excellent win against a good Lions side 

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

NORTH LONDON RAIDERS B

Simon Buchler and Rob Blackman (CM) - were superb in central midfield for the whole 90 mins and extra time - especially given they were up against a Redbridge centre midfield trio most of the game

Jake Gilbert (S) - scored two and made one

Josh Goldstein (M) - a magician with the ball at his feet, and a free kick demon (he's scored from his last 3!)

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

SCRABBLE FC

Oli Richardson (LB) - making his debut, looked solid and reliable defending and going forward 

Ben Cantopher (CB) - Was like a rock at the heart of the defence moving into midfield in the second half as the ball winner

Zak McLeod (M) - was all over the field today creating and chasing the ball down and scored what I'm sure will end up being the goal of the season

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

TEMPLE FORTUNE B

Jonny Black (GK) - made a crucial save at 2-0 to ensure we stayed on track for a clean sheet! 

Jacob Kalms (CM) - covered every blade of grass and protected our defence to perfection

Declan Spiro (S) - super signing did everything you would hope from a striker. He held the ball up well and had some great link-up play with the midfield and scored two very well taken goals (including a 25 yard screamer)

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

REDBRIDGE JEWISH CARE A

Scott Oldstein (M) - out for a year with a cruciate ligament, his first full game saw him back to his best with a brilliant display of wide play and a goal to boot

Daniel Garfinkle (S) - unplayable in a first half where Redbridge battered Brady and his pace scared the whole of the Brady defence and it was matched by two goals, one of them a very smart finish

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

FAIRLOP FC

Kai Vale (S) - went home with the match ball after his fantastic hat-trick. Kai is an integral member of the management team and helped set up this wonderful football club but has had a tough start to life at Fairlop to which I have called him out for but he responded excellently today and showed what true ability he has. Deservingly man of the match

Daniel Bean (CM) - our very own Jewish Kante 

Matt Berkley (CM) - our very own Jewish Matic

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

CAMDEN PARK

Ben Harris (RB) - playing his first game in a year he was excellent at the back and going forward.

Rob Hershman (S) - fantastic 25-yard goal and was very bright throughout the game, playing his first game for a year

Rick Harris (CM) - 50 years young came on as sub after 15 minutess and was still the class act on the pitch

Yohan Jordi (M/CB) - the skipper had to switch from midfield to centre back and did not put a foot wrong for 90 minutes, keeping SHP's best player quiet the whole game
