JC GOAL OF THE WEEK CONTENDERS
- MICHAEL KENLEY (ML Lions Blue) - A quick free-kick from Ben Winters on the halfway line was played long to Jono Gaon who chested it down and passed it to Kenley who volleyed the ball from outside the box across the keeper into the corner
- LIRON MANNIE (ML Lions Blue) - picked up the ball just past the half ay line, beat three men and coolly slotted past the keeper
- JOSH BLOOM (ML Lions Blue) - a really neat interchange of passes around the edge of the box saw Bloom slotted in by Liron Mannie, with Bloom chipping the keeper
- GAV NOE (Real Hendon) - produced a finishing masterclass with one particular cheeky lob from 15 yards out as part of his four-goal salvo

PETER MORRISON TROPHY QUARTER-FINAL
HAROLDEANS 3 REDBRIDGE JEWISH CARE A 0
Haroldeans set up a semi-final showdown against Manchester Maccabi 2nd after blitzing Redbridge 3-0 in Liverpool. First-half strikes from Max Barnett. Zak Goldsmith and Adam Shiffman eased the Merseysiders to victory.
Haroldeans boss Mike Bloomberg told JC Sport: “It was an excellent performance all round, especially as we played the second-half with 10 men after Maxim Green was sent off for retaliation. Our biggest game in living memory awaits us next week at Maccabi.”
DC prediction: Haroldeans 1 RJC 2

HENDON UNITED SPORTS 3 CAMDEN PARK 2
Strikes from Zac Lewis, Greg Corin and Mordy Weiler put Hendon United within touching distance of securing the title after winning a five-goal thriller against a plucky Camden Park at Hadley FC.
Hendon player-manager Greg Corin told JC Sport: "It was another big test for the team today; missing key players and playing against a Camden side who made the game very difficult. It’s a shame to say but we were disappointed by a number of their over-aggressive challenges and the general attitude we received. However, we showed our quality focusing on the football and got the all important three points.”
DC prediction: Hendon 4 Camden 0

OAKWOOD A 1 MACCABI LONDON LIONS BLUE 3
Oakwood's title hopes are hanging by a thread after they suffered a shock defeat at the hands of Lions Blue, courtesy of goals from Josh Bloom, Michael Kenley and Liron Mannie.
Kyle Bentwood's 59th minute effort gave Oakwood hope but their destiny now lies out of their hands.
Jubilant Lions boss Sam Marchant told JC Sport: "Heading into our last game of the season, we really wanted to finish on a high and thankfully did just that. All our three goals today were of real quality and we certainly deserved to get the three points. It feels great to finish the season in such a positive manner, and for our first season in this league, we feel we have done well, learnt a lot, and will be prepared better for next season."
Oakwood joint-manager Dan Kristall gave an honest assessment and told JC Sport: "This was a hugely disappointing day for the club. To be clear, we deserved nothing from the game and were beaten by the better side on the day."
DC prediction: Oakwood 1 Lions 0

Oakwood B consolidated third place after returning to winning ways thanks to doubles from Jacob Richler-Kleinman and Daniel Selwyn.
Redbridge's goals came via Josh Wynne and Richie Caplin.
Oakwood boss Jason Stein told JC Sport: "Before the game I explained to the boys how important it was for us to win the game. We’d never won in Essex before, and I wanted us to tick that mental barrier off. So I’m more than pleased that we did it."

MILL HILL DONS 2 HERTSWOOD VALE 3
A last-gasp winner from James Neidle as they ended Mill Hill's title hopes once and for all, and placed their dreams of a top two finish in jeopardy.
Josh Cohen and James Millet also found the net for a red-hot Hertswood team who registered their eighth league victory.
Zach Cohen and Josh Cinna the marksmen for the Dons.
Delighted Jacob Emanuel told JC Sport: "A huge result for Vale which both myself and Danny are very proud of. Having thrown away a two- goal lead in the reverse fixture, the boys were up for the match and ultimately got their reward for clinical finishing and hard work."
DC prediction: Dons 3 Hertswood 1

Faithfold's goals came via Gav Lewis and David Prager.
Real player-manager Smulovitch told JC Sport; "We are looking forward to the final few games of the season and pressing for that Europa league position!”
