DANNY CARO'S GOAL OF THE WEE
WINNER - JAMES COOPER (FC Team C) - struck a 30-yard pile driver after just 18 seconds which crashed off the underside of the bar and in. Reminiscent of Di Matteo against Middlesbrough
Runner-up - AMIR WISELMAN (Temple Fortune) - 25-yard screamer against Lions

DANNY CARO'S QUOTE OF THE WEEK
WINNER: - DARYL KAY (Woodford Wanderers) - "I'd like to dedicate the Championship win to the loving memory of late Paul Hyams aka 5 foot who lost his battle to cancer in November 2015. Our legendary ex-gaffer was a true Woodford hero and his voice will forever be heard in the our changing room and on our sidelines"
- MITCH YOUNG (FC Team B) - "We will work hard to finish runners-up and there will be no shame in that, but my players will look back at this season and feel with the players we have, we should have done it"
- DAN KRISTALL (Oakwood A) - "We finish the season with the best Jewish defence in the country, conceding only 12 goals which is a great achievement. If it had not been for three 0-0 walkovers, twice against Harmen and once against Blizzard, I feel we'd have comfortably finished second on goal difference. I certainly feel we were the second best side in the division this season"
- ROB RICHMAN (NL Raiders A) - "Frustratingly, next weekend when we play Redbridge is the Maccabiah men’s football trial which half our side our trialling in, so it’s going to be very tough to field any sort of side. I obviously want all my side trialling in that and hope they all get in but that’s going to have an impact on our ability to field a side"

OAKWOOD A 4 NORTH LONDON RAIDERS A 0
Oakwood A became the first team to beat champions NLR in the league this season following a famous 4-0 success as L'Orange suffered a Morrison final hangover.
Strikes from David Woolman (2), Sam Cantor and Jonny Quinn completed a memorable morning for an Oakwood team chasing the runners-up spot.
Oaks joint-manager Dan Kristall told JC Sport: "It was a superb win against the champions to finish off a season of real progress. We will now aim to use this season as a platform for next year as we seek to win silverware."
NLR co-boss Rob Richman told JC Sport: "We made the decision to fulfil the fixture despite only having eight first-team regulars. It wasn’t much of a spectacle but Oakwood had too much quality in their side for our makeshift team to handle."
DC Prediction: Oakwood 1 Raiders 1

Woodford Chairman Alex Aviram told JC Sport: "This has been a wonderful season for Woodford - my decision to keep the managers in-house with the appointment of Daryl Kay and Jerome Marks proved to be the winning formula. I'm very proud of what this club has achieved and only losing one game all season shows how hard work can pay off. Everyone in involved with this season are true warriors."
FC Team boss Mitch Young told JC Sport: "Congratulations to Woodford they have been the most consistant team all season and have thoroughly deserved to win the league."

DC Prediction: Team 3 Boca 3

TEMPLE FORTUNE 1 MACCABI LONDON LIONS B 8

Amier Wiselman grabbed a consolation for Fortune from 25 yards against a Lions team who moved to within a point of champions Scrabble.
Fortune boss Jonathan Cohen told JC Sport: "I actually think that we played technically the best side in the league. As an attacking force they had real creativity and excellent technique."
DC Prediction: Fortune 1 Lions 5

REDBRIDGE JEWISH CARE B 2 LOS BLANCOS 2 (RJC won 3-1 on penalties)
