James Neidle's thunderbolt against KS Reunited impressed the JC panel of judges, but it wasn't quite good enough to win the Goal of the Week. However, if it's small consolation, the post-match comments of his Hendon B manager were.
ADAM GLEKIN: "Our captain, James Neidle, didn't have his best game, but I think he'll be telling his grandchildren about the goal he scored today. I've been playing in the MSFL for a decade and can't recall seeing many better!"

BEST OF THE REST
- DAVID GARBACZ (Hendon A) - QUOTE 1 - "As far as the Cup Final is concerned – Stuart Delmonte said he wanted us and now he’s got us in what will be a tremendous North versus South shoot out at Oldham. Up the South – we’re coming to get you!"
- DAVID GARBACZ (Hendon A) - QUOTE 2 - "Our motivation for this match was huge – despite two trebles in three years, Hendon players are constantly overlooked for National tournaments in favour of others and today the incentive, as well as getting to the cup final, was to show that some of these boys definitely deserve far more recognition than they get"
- ANDY LANDESBERG (Lions Spartans) - "Hendon were fantastic and David should be very proud of his team. Perhaps one or two things could have gone our way, but they didn’t. You make your own luck, and that usually comes from hard work and wanting it more than the other team"
- ROB RICHMAN (NL Raiders A) - "It's a dream to win the most coveted prize in Jewish football and is great reward for all the effort, hard work and dedication the entire squad has put in all season"
- JONATHAN ISON (Los Blancos) - QUOTE 1 - "Since the beginning of the season I have been comparing us to Liverpool, and on the day with both teams in their respective semi finals, both were very poor, however, Blancos were able to turn it around in the second half and show what we are made of"
- JONATHAN ISON (Los Blancos) - QUOTE 2 - "FC Team B are clearly a good team and have had a great season, but we know on our day we are a match for anyone, and we are going to Wingate confident of ending our long wait for silverware!"
- JOEL ALTERMAN (Harmen) - "It’s always difficult having to travel up or down the country for a big fixture like this and I’m sure Stuart and the boys enjoyed their three-hour trip back to Manchester a lot more than we enjoyed our 15-minute journeys home"
- OLI LESLIE (Harmen) - "To come this far in our first season as a new squad is a tremendous effort - currently third in the league and reaching the semi-finals of the Morrison - but next year we are determined to go further and win both of these competitions and the Anekstein Cup"
- ELLIOT NUSSBAUM (Shacharit Donetsk) - "First half our boys were already on the beach - it was a terrible performance. Second half slightly better!"
