CYRIL ANEKSTEIN CUP
HENDON UNITED SPORTS 3 OAKWOOD A 1 (After extra-time)
With the final returning to Wingate after a one-year sabbatical, there was an early delay when Hendon's Jonti Aremband suffered a nasty knee injury.
Hendon hit the bar after 11 minutes, but an epic cup tie came to life in the second half when Oakwood forged ahead with an acrobatic volley from John Levy which flew into the net.
However, their hopes were dented when flying winger Josh Cuby received a second caution following a scything challenge on Moses Seitler, and Oakwood played the remainder of the game with 10 men.
Hendon capitalised on their numerical advantage and Chaim Korman levelled the scores in the closing stages. And with no further goals the match went to extra-time.
And it was there that Hendon did the business, with Rocky Spitzer (114) and Seitler (119) securing the win - and a first piece of silverware for manager Jordan Sapler, in his first season in charge.

PETER MORRISON TROPHY QUARTER-FINAL REPLAY
HAROLDEANS 1 MANCHESTER MACCABI 1st 1 (AET - Haroldeans won 4-2 on penalties)
Haroldeans will host Mill Hill Dons in the semi-finals of the Jewish FA Cup after beating Manchester Maccabi on penalties in Liverpool.
The original tie, which Haroldeans also won on penalties, was ordered to be replayed by the National Football Committee after Maccabi appealed that the referee had broken competition rules after playing only 10 minutes of extra-time each way, rather than the required 15, as he had another match to officiate at.
Once again it finished 1-1 after 90 minutes - Manchester forged ahead on 20 minutes before Haroldeans equalised 15 minutes into the second half.
There was no mistake as 30 minutes of extra-time, before the Merseysiders held their nerve to reach the semis for the second time in two years.

BARRY GOLDSTEIN TROPHY SEMI-FINAL
NORTH LONDON GALAXY A MILL HILL DONS (Match abandoned due to injury)
The BGT semi-final will be replayed following a serious injury to Dons keeper Sam Singer forced the game to be abandoned with his team leading 2-1.
The Dons, who have also reached the last four of the Morrison, stormed into a 2-0 lead through top-scorer Zach Cohen (17) and Sam Stead (30).
But first division Galaxy stormed back to level with two quickfire goals via Tyler Smith (pen) and Jordan Grundman, before Singer suffered a broken arm.
