MGBSFL DIVISION TWO
TEMPLE FORTUNE 2 BOCA JEWNIORS 0

Jonathan Cohen insists he is looking for to Temple Fortune's run-in after strikes from Lee Fegan and the player-manager himself lifted the team off the foot of the table.

The game against Boca Jewniors was played on a pitch which was not conducive to any sort football played on the deck – extremely bobbly, very very soft in some areas and very long grass.

Somewhat unsurprisingly then both of the goals came from set-pieces. A corner delivered by Jonathan Cohen was met firmly by the head of captain Fegan just 10 minutes into the game.

The second goal came from a free-kick aimed toward the far post delivered by Cohen again which managed to evade everyone and ended up nestling into the goal off the post.

Fortune boss Jonathan Cohen told JC Sport: "Firstly I want to commend my players and also the players/management of Boca Jewniors. In recent weeks we have been discussing the future of the league with many teams folding etc and to keep going every week when you are at the bottom of the league of the bottom rung of Jewish football takes real commitment. There was no signs of any lack of effort from either team and I think the rest of the league should take note."

"To be honest the game was one-way traffic but we were wasteful in front of goal today and their keeper made two terrific saves – one after some great work from our midfielder Aron Barnes who went on a mazy run only to be denied by a strong left hand of the keeper.

"The game will not go down as a classic at all but for us we kept a clean sheet, scored two goals and defensively we didn’t allow for a single shot in anger on target.

"We are delighted to be off the bottom and with four points in our last two games we look onward and upward."
