MGBSFL PREMIER DIVISION
HENDON UNITED SPORTS A 7 FAITHFOLD A 2

David Garbacz believes Dovi Fehler will take the league by storm this season after firing an opening day hat-trick in the 7-2 demoliton of Faithfold at Hadley FC.

Last season's Morrison winners came from behind to make a big statement of intent with captain marvel ARI LAST and Yehuda Nevies completing the rout.

But it was the performance of Fehler - who represented Team Maccabi GB in the Open Football competition at the European Maccabi Games in Berlin - that had Garbacz purring in excitement.

Hendon boss David Garbacz told JC Sport: "We couldn't have asked for a better start to the season - we scored lots of great goals including two fine hat-tricks and a debut goal for young Yehuda Nevies.

"The only small downside was a bit of early rustiness at the back which caused us to concede two goals in the first half - a few weeks into the season that won't be happening.

"The two stand-out performances were from Dovi Fehler and Ari Last who both started the season in superb style. With one Premier league season now under his belt, Dovi is a much improved player and can go on to score bundles this year. The rest of the team were also very solid and overall it was an excellent team effort.

"Faithfold were still in it for large periods of the match and competed well. We only really killed the game off on the last 20 minutes. They do seem to be a much changed outfit this season but could still surprise a few teams in this league. For us the important thing was getting off to a winning start - we achieved that and more so no complaints."

Marc Charles and Dan Cohen replied for Faithfold who had taken an early lead.
