Given the ill-feeling between Redbridge Jewish Care B and Norstar London Raiders B last season, it is so refreshing to see a happy ending.
Speaking to JC Sport after the 2-2 draw that means both teams will be promoted, NLR gaffer JONATHAN ADELMAN said: "It's a pleasure to be part of games like this on a Sunday morning and, for such an intense rivalry, there is great respect between Jon and myself and the two sets of players. We congratulate Redbridge on the title which they are sure to win and which they deserve this season"

BEST OF THE REST
- MITCH YOUNG (FC Team B) - "Credit must go to Whetstone - they did not deserve to lose the game and played extremely well. They are a great young side and were unlucky today"
- JASON STEIN (Oakwood B) - QUOTE 1 - "DC, I want to begin by thanking you. Because you ignored all the background noise, the nonsense as I call it, and stuck by my Oaks and predicted us a victory this week. That took courage and cold-blooded analysis"
- JASON STEIN (Oakwood B) - QUOTE 2 - "Striker James Abrams was superb on his debut and it just shows that if you bring the right players in early then none of this deadline day nonsense is required"
- JON JACOBS (Redbridge JC B) - "Credit again to Jonathan Adelman and his Raiders team; they fully deserve to be going up with us, and having given us the two best games of the season, we'll look forward to renewing acquaintance next season in the Premier League and continuing the rivalry"
- DAN YOSS (Faithfold B) - "That result was for the gaffer and Josh Barnett. They put in a lot of effort and it was nice to reward them"
- ADAM GLEKIN (Hendon B) - "It was certainly a game of firsts for us ... our first draw as well as our first clean sheet of the season!"
- DAVID GORDON (FC Team C) - "We have a massive game to come this weekend and hopefully we can produce a display from the first minute rather than the 46th!”
- DAVID GARBACZ (Hendon A) - "I'm really proud of this squad - week on week out whoever plays always gives all for the shirt and all for the ultimate aim of winning trophies. 5 games to go and everything still in our hands which is how we like it. Roll on next week"
