Six-hit Redbridge keep treble hopes alive

articlemain

Sam McCarthy, manager of Redbridge Jewish Care A, cut a relieved figure after watching his team keep alive treble hopes with a hard fought victory against Division One high-flyers Brady Maccabi in the quarter-finals of the JC Cyril Anekstein Cup.

They ran out 6-1 winners but the tie was far from comfortable for RJC who finished the game with 10 men after right-back Craig Sandford was sent off. It needed some late intervention from hat-trick hero Dean Nyman, Steve Summers and Daran Bern to send the Premier Division leaders through.

McCarthy said: "We dominated the second half and played some excellent football. Our pace up front proved too much for Brady and it was only a matter time before the floodgates opened."

Brady manager Josh Rosenfield said: "We have set our sights on promotion and playing teams like RJC week in, week out. We would've given them a better game with a full-strength side out."

Temple Fortune A edged four points clear in Division Two following a 6-0 demolition of FC Marylebone. Rob Benson (2), Ben Isaacs (2), Scott Shindler and Michael Goldberg were the marksmen.

Brixton Old Boys proved too good for L'Equipe with Danny Sherman (2), Alon Hershkorn and James Kaye doing the damage in a 4-0 win.
