Geez Park find their touch with seven-goal rampage

“Overall, it was a great performance, to come away from Hendon with the win, we had too much energy for them today and in beating them, secured our third consecutive win in a year where we have struggled for consistency.”

The win pushed them into the top-four of the table, though they have played a game more than the three sides above them, meaning they are switching their attention elsewhere and hopefully repeating history. Diamond added: “The league is very competitive this season and we hope to continue our winning form, however our main focus is on both cups, which we won back in 2024 and would love to emulate again this season.”

Stoke Salmon remain two points clear at the top of the table after they came away from Athletico Bears with a 4-0 win. HMH join Hendon on 19 points in joint-second spot as they scored seven goals of their own, winning 7-0 at Redbridge Jewish Care A. Ethan Krell scored a hat-trick, Saul Norton scored twice, with Charlie Ezra and Adam Abadi completing the rout.

In Division One, Sukkotingham Forest increased their lead at the top of the table to ten points as two goals from Dillon Caine helped them to a 3-1 win at Hampstead Ducks. Eytan Miller scored their third goal, with manager Sam Nagioff saying: “It was a great performance and comeback from the lads after a poor first half.” Zachary Collins scored for The Ducks.

Two goals in two second half minutes from Ben Nothman – his first for the club – and Sam Holden saw 40 Year Wanderers record a 2-0 home win over Rapid Vienna, the victory seeing them leapfrog Vienna to finish the day in fourth spot in the table.

Manager Sam Anderson said: “The boys were brilliant. Bar the first 10 minutes, the game was never not in our control. We dominated them across the pitch and I couldn’t be prouder of my team’s performance, it was a massive three points”.

Bochur Juniors ended their six-game losing streak to claim their second league win of the season, beating Mill Hill Minyan 3-1. Yedidya Solomon, Kalmi Springer and man-of-the-match Zack Mason scored the goals, with manager Joel Ucko saying: “I’m absolutely delighted for the lads. We were down to the bare bones, had players missing everywhere, and lads stepping in out of position, but the attitude was first class. It would have been very easy to come here feeling sorry for ourselves with excuses ready to go, but there was none of that. They rolled their sleeves up, they got on with it, and they put in a proper shift.

The last few months have been really tough, there is no getting away from it. When you’ve been on a run like we have confidence takes a hit and you have to find a way to stop the rot. Today we went back to basics. We were organised, compact, won our duels and defended our box with real pride. It was a proper away performance. Not always pretty, but professional, disciplined, and full of character. Everyone put a shift in for the team, everyone did their job and that’s what you need when you are going through a tough spell.

“To a man they were outstanding. We’ve got that winning feeling back and it tastes very sweet, but it is only one result. The challenge now is to build on it, back it up, and take this momentum into 2026.”
