DANNY CARO'S GOAL OF THE WEEK
JAMES MANDEL (L'Equipe) - a phenomenal through ball from Grant Bates set Mandell one-on-one with the keeper, and as the keeper was closing him down he had the audacity to lift the ball over the keeper's head and into the back of the net

-------------------------------
DANNY CARO'S SAVE OF THE WEEK
WINNER: - RUSSELL CORIN (Hendon A) - superb save flinging high and wide to his right with the ball looking destined for the top corner from a fine shot from from Josh Rose from the edge of the area
Runner-up: - DANIEL LIPMAN (ML Lions B) – got his fingertips on to a 35-yard free-kick heading for the top corner, and pushed it on to the crossbar
-------------------------------
-------------------------------
DANNY CARO'S QUOTE OF THE WEEK
WINNER: - RICKY LAWRENCE (SPEC FC) - "When the opposition goalie scores twice, it's never a good day!"
Runner-up: - JASON STEIN (Oakwood B) - "To come from 2-0 down against a side who I respect immensely is something we should rightly be proud of"

TOP MARKS FOR 10-MAN CAMDEN
BLIZZARD STORM 0 CAMDEN PARK 2
Guy Marks and Josh Marks registered for the second consecutive week as Camden secured their second win at the expense of fellow new boys Blizzard.
Delighted Camden boss Will Castle told JC Sport: "If I could nominate everyone for team of the week I honestly would but since I can't I will nominate Jake Saunders who was like 2 players and made up for the fact we only had 10. I was proud of my team last week but I'm even prouder this week."
Blizzard boss Simon Linden told JC Sport: "It was a frustrating morning, we really should have taken advantage of playing against 10 men in the last 25 minutes. We didn't create enough chances."
DC Prediction: Blizzard 2 Camden 2

Team boss Ben Gilbey told JC Sport: "I am really disappointed with the team performance and the amount of individual errors. We will go away and hopefully this will teach some of the boys a lesson. Onwards and upwards!"
DC Prediction: Harmen 1 FC Team 1

Captain marvel Ari Last scored the only goal as Hendon maintained their perfect record with a hard-fought win over Oakwood.
Hendon boss David Garbacz told JC Sport: "These are the type of games you have to win if you want to win the title - it was a very tight match where Oakwood fought extremely hard and will probably consider themselves unlucky to lose."
Oakwood joint-manager Dan Kristall told JC Sport: "Our aim is to use the positives from the game and move on to the next one. It’s a long season and we’re very much alive in all competitions, but we’ll be even more ready for Hendon next time…"
