BARRY GOLDSTEIN TROPHY GROUP D
TEMPLE FORTUNE 1 OAKWOOD B 8
Jason Stein praised the attitude of his players after they stormed to the top of Group D with an 8-1 demolition of Temple Fortune.
Jacob Richler-Kleiman led the procession, hitting the target four times and running the Fortune backline ragged, with Charles Cohen (3) and Dan Ash adding the gloss in a game the Oaks finished with 10 men after right-back Josh Berkley was sent off for a handball, with the score at 7-0.
Lee Fegan grabbed a consolation from the penalty spot for Fortune.
Oakwood manager Jason Stein told JC Sport: "I'm absolutely delighted to win 8-1, obviously. But I'm more pleased with the attitude of the players than anything. We hadn't played for a month and we had a depleted squad with only 11 players available.
"But the boys - more or less the core of our squad anyway - turned up and did a very professional job on Temple Fortune.
"We've laid down a massive marker in the group and we're in a good position. Win next week against Hendon United B and we're through to a quarter-final tie.
"We've done half the job today and we will aim to finish it next week when we have even more choice in the squad.
"We cannot let this slip."
