MGBSFL PREMIER DIVISION
MACCABI LONDON LIONS BLUE 0 NORSTAR LONDON RAIDERS A 4

Rob Richman believes NLR are in top shape to challenge for the title as they moved into pole position to win their first MGBSFL Premier Division title with a comprehensive victory over the Lions.

L'Orange avoided a cup hangover to maintain their title challenge, with Liron Mannie, Ricky Engleman, David Dinkin and Jonny Kay on the mark against the Lions.

Raiders boss Rob Richman told JC Sport: "A week is a long time in football and after the disappointment of last weekend, we are much more content this Monday morning.

"We have found that every game this season provides a test and despite playing against a depleted Lions side, we were still made to work hard for the three points. All that mattered though was securing the three points and we did that comfortably in the end.

"There were some good positives to take out the game, our captain David Rhodes came through his first game in a month unscathed and was at his most imperious, Adam Joselyn looked very sharp on his first start since September and Liron Mannie was somewhere close to his unplayable best.

A quick word also on David Dinkin who showed his undoubted talent with a superb diving header; he has been unlucky the last few weeks to find Matt Stock and Mannie in such good form, but he will be hugely important as the season reaches the closing stage.

"Another game ticked off and another three points, we move on to Fairlop and Woodford for what no doubt will be another tough fixture where we will do our utmost to secure another important three points."
