While some managers were blowing hot air, AC Whetstone joint-boss Clive Nathan lapped up the mood, both in his camp and across the community, when he told JC Sport: "Clearly Shabbat UK had the desired effect on our team!" following his team's epic cup win over higher division Athletic Bilbaum.

BEST OF THE REST
- ADAM GLEKIN (Hendon B) - "I hate to be negative, but today was bloody awful. Having got off to so many poor starts this year, I threatened to haul anyone off after 10 minutes if I felt they weren't putting in a shift"
- JON JACOBS (Redbridge B) - "Mr Garbacz refers to everyone as mate - I think he will do well having any mates judging by his classless behaviour. We will give him a real east London welcome in the return match in a fortnight"
- DAVID GARBACZ (Hendon A) - "We look forward to locking horns again with Redbridge in two weeks time in the Morrison when I will make sure I call their manager by his name, Jon, and not mate which he seemed to take enormous offence at as he made it perfectly clear he was not my mate"
- JOSH LEWIS (L'Equipe) - "Today would've have been a great game for the neutral and I think msfl chairman David Wolfe picked the right game to watch"
- JONATHAN ADELMAN (NL Raiders B) - "Jake Gilbert is a nightmare for the opposition - if they get tight he can turn and outpace them, if they give him space he'll punish them with goals like today's volley. If they double up on him they leave space for Jacob Gold and Nick Woolf"
- JONATHAN ISON (Los Blancos) - "The one shining light of Sunday's result was the return of Simon Moses up front, after years honing his skills elsewhere. He took his first goal very well and we look forward to him hitting the headlines in future weeks"
