1. DAVID SACAL (ML Lions A) - first Mexican to play in the League Cup final. Excellent handling, kicked well, made some crucial saves and commanded his area
2. ZAC NEIMAN (Redbridge JC A) - took his first major cup final in his stride. Kept Max Kyte quiet and didn't deserve to be on the losing side
3. DAN GRANDITER (Hertswood Vale) - "Slotted in well at left-back, and eventually right-back for his first game in three months. Solid display going forward and defensively. Unlucky not to bag a goal"
4. ALEX TAYLOR (ML Lions A) - many defenders would have buckled against a Redbridge front line featuring Dean Nyman, Sam Sollosi, Daniel Garfinkle and Russell Goldstein, but Taylor remained calm at all times. A rock solid performance (Ed. must have been all those matches marking me at Powerleague!)
