YOUR WEEKEND REVIEW STARTS HERE:
LONDON FA SUNDAY CHALLENGE CUP ROUND ONE
ASIANOS 1st 4 HMH 4 (AET - Asianos won 4-2 on penalties)
HMH bowed out of the LFSCC on penalties after an extraordinary tie against Asianos.
Avi Goldberg's boys went ahead within 10 minutes but Asianos rallied superbly and just 20 minutes later they led 3-1. HMH clawed their way back into the tie, making it 4-4 through goals from George Goldberg, Natey Kashket and goal of the game from Alex Moss, who finished a fantastic move by rounding the keeper and slotting home.
Eli Wegrzyn hit the bar and a well-worked free kick move was wasted as HMH pressed for the winner but it was not to be and it took a superb save from Alex Davies on his debut to defy Asianos a winner on the break in dying minutes before they exited in heartbreaking fashion on penalties.

HENDON UNITED SPORTS 11 (ELEVEN) NLO 1st 2
JOSH BHARIER (4) and ROCKY SPITZER (3) were the hat-trick heroes as Hendon United Sports cruised into the second round after destroying NLO 11-2.
There were also goals from Moses Seitler, Josh Harris, Yehuda Korman and Simon Peterman as the MGBSFL defending champions ran riot.
Jubilant Hendon boss Jordan Sapler told JC Sport: "It was a thoroughly comprehensive victory during which we played some football that, at times, was the best I’ve ever seen in a Sunday League setting."

MGBSFL PREMIER DIVISION
CAMDEN PARK 0 OAKWOOD 1
Dan Seligman was the match-winner with a stunning strike as Oakwood registered their first win after beating Camden Park in a war of attrition.
Camden joint-manager Stirling Kay told JC Sport: "The second-half display was one of the best team performances from my boys. There was no panicking or poor decision-making and we created many chances but didn’t have our shooting boots on today."
DC Prediction: Camden 1 Oakwood 1
============
MACCABI LONDON FC BLUE 3 FAITHFOLD WHITE 4
Faithfold White finished the weekend top on goal difference after edging a seven-goal thriller against Maccabi London Blue at Rowley Lane, thanks to goals from Akiva Solomon, Dovi Vogel, Avi Garson and Avi Markiewicz.
Superhoops player-manager Markiewicz told JC Sport: "After last week we were fully aware that a two-goal lead can slip. Green and white nerves jangling however we managed to see out the game and enjoy our first and well deserved win of the season."
Maccabi's goals came via Benji, Weinberger, Scott Gordon and Richard Gold but the Blues succumbed to their second defeat. Joint-manager Max Kyte told JC Sport: "Faithfold shocked us early and pounced on our lack of defensive discipline. The goals were plentiful and an absolute cracker from Scott Gordon from the left edge into the top right. The Faithfold player-manager also scored a brilliant free-kick to make it 4-2, just taking the game out of reach. A fair result."
DC Prediction: ML 1 Faithfold 2

DIVISION ONE
BROOK FARM ROVERS 0 REDBRIDGE JEWISH CARE 1
A penalty from Ross Weinrabe was all that separated Redbridge Jewish Care and Brook Farm Rovers as RJC made a winning start.
RJC boss Daniel Jacobs told JC Sport: "It was a very tight game and we're absolutely delighted to get started with three points. I could not have asked for more from the boys, they battled immensely."
Brook Farm joint-manager Ben Polins told JC Sport: "It was a closely contested match from start to finish - both teams struggled to create chances although it was Brook Farm playing all the football. Some questionable decisions in the second half reached its pinnacle as a long ball from deep hits the arm of defender Simon Zeffert and is inexplicably called inside the box despite the opinion of the linesman."
DC Prediction: BFM 2 RJC 2
============
HERTSWOOD VALE 1 NORTH LONDON GALAXY 2
A late strike from Tyler Smith got title hopefuls North London Galaxy off the mark following a hard-fought win over Hertswood Vale.
Player-manager Luke Lewis had put Galaxy ahead, only for Ben Mandell to equalise for Vale.
Smith scored the decisive goal but Galaxy finished with 10 men after Zack Nathan was sent off.
Galaxy boss Luke Lewis told JC Sport: "I’ve said to the boys, that’s a win of potential champions - first game back, under pressure at times and we still walk away with a win. Many more gears to come and many players to come back - the support today was amazing with at least 30 people on the side supporting the boys."
DC Prediction: Vale 2 Galaxy 3
============
MILL HILL DONS 6 BAYERN MINCHA 0
Zach Cohen and Harry Moss bagged braces as Mill Hill Dons hit Bayern Mincha for six, with goals from Adam Lisberg, Scott Waissel adding the gloss.
Delighted Dons' boss Brandon Hamme told JC Sport: "This was the perfect response to last week's disappointment. We looked a lot more assured and comfortable on the ball, we moved it well and showed lots of desire throughout."
DC Prediction: Dons 2 Bayern 1
============
NORTH LONDON RAIDERS 6 SPEC FC 3
Two goals apiece from Seb Garber and Aron Gale guided Raiders to victory in a high-scoring win over SPEC.
Alex Jacobs and Matt Warner also found the net for L'Orange, with Jamie Smaje (2) and player-manager Ricky Lawrence on target for SPEC.
Raiders' joint-manager Gideon Gale told JC Sport: "We're delighted to get the first three points on the board. Having gone behind after 30 seconds, I was impressed with the boys desire and character as we went on to lead 4-1. Credit to SPEC for bringing in back to 4-3 but I think superior quality pulled through."
SPEC player-manager Ricky Lawrence told JC Sport: "Raiders are a very good team and we probably shocked them a bit to go from 4-1 down to 4-3 with 15 minutes left. We gifted them a fifth goal though and the sixth was the last kick of the game. They were worthy winners but we played our part in a decent game.”
DC Prediction: Raiders 2 SPEC 1
============
DIVISION TWO
BORUSSIA BARNET 5 TEMPLE FORTUNE 1
Jack Mattey was the two-goal hero as Borussia Barnet produced a five-star performance to beat Temple Fortune.
Further strikes from Oron Sheldon, Nathan Rosenthal and super-sub Joe Woolf completed a first win for Borussia.
A Borussia spokesman told JC Sport: "It was a much-needed result after the disappointment last week. We can’t get too ahead of ourselves and we have to keep working hard, but we deserved today."
Fortune's consolation goal came through Max Martin, and manager Simon Linden gave an honest assessment. "We were not good enough and let ourselves down for large spells in the first half," he told JC Sport. "The second half was an improvement but on the whole a disappointing morning."
DC Prediction: Borussia 2 Fortune 1
============
FAITHFOLD GREEN 3 HAMPSTEAD DUCKS 5
Faithfold Green were left spitting feathers as Hampstead Ducks made a winning start to life in the MGBSFL, running out 5-3 victors thanks to a treble from JONO GAON plus two headers from centre-half Jack Wagner.
Chaim Kraus (2) and Jamie Kent replied for Faithfold. Player-manager Ben Kfir told JC Sport: "We're very disappointed not to have taken something from the game. Some very cheap goals were given away but I'm encouraged by the overall team performance, especially our midfield and attacking play."
DC Prediction: Faithfold 2 Ducks 1
============
FC TEAM 2 NORTH WEST LONDON BEARS 2
FC Team came from two goals down at half-time to earn a 2-2 draw and they were denied a win by the brilliance of Bears' goalkeeper and joint-manager James Harpin in a thriller.
Zacki Doumou and an own goal had put the Bears in pole position after 45 minutes but Doumou was sent off soon after scoring and FC Team hit back through Connor Perl and Adam Rones.
Bears' joint-player-manager James Harpin told JC Sport: "Some may see it as a point gained, some will see it as two points lost. All I know is that boys put in a great shift and worked tirelessly to make sure we did not lose."
FC Team player-manager Mitch Young told JC Sport: "Poor from us today, we gifted them a 0-2 lead after 10 minutes with two silly errors and then was always going to be difficult. Our first half display was hard to watch. We regrouped in the second half scored nice goals, played better football and if it wasn’t for James we would have come out winners."
DC Prediction: Team 3 Bears 1
============
PARIS SAINT-JEWMAIN 3 CLUB DE CHIGWELL 2
Paris Saint-Jewmain claimed one of the results of the day, with Josh Cohen (2) and Louis Relevy the scorers in the impressive 3-2 win over title hopefuls Club De Chigwell.
Chigwell's goals came via Harrison Grant and Charlie Cohen.
Delighted PSJ chief Mickey Elia told JC Sport: "After a heavy defeat last week, this was the perfect response from the boys. We are delighted with the victory and look to carry momentum with us for next weeks game against Hampstead Ducks."
CDC joint-manager Adam Conway told JC Sport: "We let ourselves down today with our performance but we will work harder and longer on the training ground to make this result a one-off."
DC Prediction: PSG 1 CDC 5

SCRABBLE 4 WEST HAMDILLAH 1
Scrabble made a triumphant start to the season, with Alex Bourne (2), Lloyd Becker and Neil Kochane the marksmen in the 4-1 win over West Hamdillah.
