There's very little loyalty left in football, but Joey Lazare is the exception to the norm after saying he's going nowhere following his excellent display for Brady Maccabi against Oakwood B.
After hearing that he'd be most welcome at the Oaks, Lazare responded: "I'm very happy to be part of this Brady squad. When I spoke to the gaffer in June, he sold me the Brady project and I have no interest in leaving. I’d like to wish Oakwood well for the rest of the season but unfortunately the only other time their fans will see me this season is when I kiss the Brady badge in the return leg later in the season."

BEST OF THE REST
- SIMON LINDEN (Blizzard Storm) - "I can't be disappointed with our effort this morning. I had four key players injured and another five away. The youngsters that came into today did well and it gives me great confidence in my squad for the season"
- DAVID GARBACZ (Hendon A) - "I thought the ref did exceptionally well in the circumstances to keep things just about under control as it looked like they'd been watching a little bit too much of the Rugby World Cup"
- JASON STEIN (Oakwood B) - QUOTE 1 - "Today was a really good game between two determined sides. I'm big enough to admit we are perhaps a tad fortunate to come away with a point given Brady had plenty of second half opportunities"
- JASON STEIN (Oakwood B) - QUOTE 2 - "It's always testing to come up against a side with a Northerner of their own and it's a reminder that there are a few talented lads down here not signed with the Oaks. And after watching him play today I can tell you Joey Lazare is welcome to join his compatriots whenever he likes"
- ADAM GLEKIN (Hendon B) - "It was far from vintage today, but we'll take the win. As the old cliche goes, there's no easy games in Jewish football!"
- ADAM GLEKIN (Hendon B) - "Next week is a big game against Real Hendon and we'll need to step it up - but I'm sure the sight of seeing Chaim Strom in their line-up will fire a few of the lads up!"
-DAN LIPMAN (Real Sosobad) - "The winning goal from James Law was good enough to win any game and the celebration put Giggsy's (less the hairy chest) to shame"
