REFEREE

---------------------

NOMINATIONS

NORTH LONDON RAIDERS B

Brandon Sassoon (CB) - in excellent form at the moment. Seemed to win everything he went in for and used the ball very well going forwards. A really smart performance and played the conditions well

Anthony Goodmaker (CB) - captained the side from the heart of the defence and dealt with unpredictable second balls. Seems to be building a very strong partnership with Brandon and Elad

Elad Hertshten (CB) - a very good all-round performance. Matched his opposite number for strength and pace all game. Did well when moved to the left wing too

David Dinkin (CF) - continued his excellent goalscoring form with a well taken goal but his all-round play was outstanding. Held the ball up well, was involved in most of Raiders' best moves and is thriving up front with Jake Gilbert

---------------------

REAL HENDON

Benny Goldberg (S) - led the line with tireless enthusiasm, winning every header and bringing the ball down expertly - Heskey esque in his determination to bring others into play

---------------------

HERTSWOOD VALE

Josh Cohen (ST) - scored one with his left, one with his right and topped it off with a token header - a perfect hat-trick. Vale's answer to Peter Crouch had his best game of the season to double his tally to six goals. Not hit the goal-scoring heights of last season yet, but there is plenty of time to go this season

- Danny Hirschberger (Manager) - in sole charge of this week's game in the absence of his co-manager, oversaw a required win without much stress

- Darryl Colmans (Ref) - controlled the game throughout and gave an excellent account of himself with this performance. Our best referee this season

---------------------

MACCABI LONDON LIONS WHITE

Akiva Levin (RB) - "unreal" against Raiders

Ollie Craig (S) - hat-trick hero

---------------------

FAIRLOP FC

Jordan Kara (GK) - Jordan is the epitome of what a Boaty boy is, happy to sacrifice himself for the cause and willing to get stuck in, with our regular goalkeer away he was drafted in and he did not disappoint, he made two genuine "world-class" finger-tip saves that kept us in the game

Max Freedman (CB) - I think the opposition's manager's comments says all you need to know about Max's performance today, time and time again putting his body on the line for the cause! Funnily enough, he joined the Boats as a striker and was destined to be a 20-minute man, but he's dropped back to centre-back and has made the role his own!

James Jaconelli (S) - was tough for both JJ and Dan Rosen up top today but JJ delivered when it mattered, hunted down the centre-back, stole the ball off him and coolly took it round the goalie and finished into an empty net

---------------------

LOS BLANCOS

Jake Doffman (CB) – his aggressive approach to the game would have merited Vinnie Jones the Fifa Fair Play Award, totally dominant and chipped in with a pile-driver top corner finish that I’ve only ever seen Adriano on Fifa 2008 execute

Gav Krieger (Capt - CB) – skipper for the day and was the conductor to this fine orchestra, in the heavy Borehamwood snowfall his performance was so eloquent he failed to leave footprints in the snow completely controlling the tempo of this clash

Avi Kestenbaum (CF) – he was so pleased with his performance he left in the 70th minute, his early departure was well deserved as his work rate and finely taken goal set the foundations for this game

Joe Davis (CM) – the groundsmen were the only people upset at his performance as he covered every blade of grass, some of the fans likened his performance to Harry Winks versus Real Madrid as his neat passing and movement influenced this game

Oli Sade (CF) – the Jewish Messi was unplayable today, I hope Camden are kind enough to send the footage of his cheeky lob over to the JC headquarters so we can enjoy hearing commentating abilities of Dovid Kurzer describing this stroke of magic

---------------------

BAYERN MINCHA

Guv Nussbaum (D) - Another solid performance at the back. Won every battle and got another goal!

Eli Davila (D) - a beast at the back, nothing went past him

Adam Ellis (S) - Gave the Raiders defenders no chance of stopping him

Daniel Holder (M) - dictated the midfield. Ran the whole game. Did a double 360 spin on two of their players

---------------------

MILL HILL DONS

Oliver Burchell (GK) - made several impressive saves as well as a world-class point-black range save with his feet. A very well-deserved clean sheet

Adam Isaacs (RM) - made his long-awaited return in style scoring twice and proving to be handful throughout 

Zach Cohen (S) - involved in all four goals, two perfectly weighted balls for both of Adam Isaacs’ goals, he also managed to find the net twice in the second half. 18 goals in nine games in the league this season, scary form

---------------------

FC TEAM

Adam Rones (RB) - solid performance

---------------------

OAKWOOD B

Rafi Bloom (S) - worked tirelessly against Raiders

Dan Selwyn (LW) - put lots of great crosses into the box

Max Clynes (D) - strong and led the defence superbly

Dan King (GK) - stepped in as Ben Lewis was injured in the warm-up. Made a crucial save at 3-3
