It’s been quite a month for James Gershfield – my MGBSFL Player of the Month for November.
His goals have helped propel Harmen into genuine title contenders and even though he wasn’t 100 per cent fit on Sunday, he still had too much quality for Hendon.
He started the month with one in the draw against title rivals Redbridge Jewish Care before firing a hat-trick in the cup success over Real Sosobad.
A deadly double followed in the Peter Morrison Trophy victory over South Manchester Sports and his partnership with Sam Castle is really blossoming. And with Alex Levack now joining the squad, you write Harmen off at your peril.
I also commend the ambitions of managers Oli Leslie, Joe Marsh, Joel Alterman at Harmen for attracting some top talent to the club.
It’s a SPEC FC one-two in Division One, with striker Zack Neiman and player-manager Ricky Lawrence, who masterminded wins over Redbridge, Faithfold, Brady and Oakwood, taking the honours.
Scrabble FC are toasting double delight in the second division after the efforts of Danny Sherman and Ray Abrahams were recognised.
