NOMINATIONS

HERTSWOOD VALE

Ben Davis (RB) - came back into the team with a bang. Didn't give their  winger a sniff. Provided a constant attacking threat

Jordan Harris (LB) - recovered from a poor-performance the week before. Showed his defensive prowess throughout the game - even winning a token header.

Jack Shulman and Ashley Hirschberger (CB) - a makeshift defensive pairing that have put in a real claim to start our next game. First to everything in the air and on the ground. Frustrated the RCUK attack who didn't have a shot on target all game. Lead us to our first clean sheet of the season

Adrian Leibovitch (CDM) - a faultless performance from our vice-captain. Kept Avi Mocton and Jake Lewis quiet. No easy task. Lead the boys on the pitch and was committed to win every loose ball

Simon Englander (CDM) - partnered Adrian in the engine room. Won header after header despite his 5ft frame. Played a significant role in solidifying the middle of the park and turned deep-lying playmaker as we looked to hit RCUK on the counter. Man of the Match

(submitted by RC UK)

Ben Mandell (M) - real menace down the wings.

Ashley Hirshberger (D) - solid against RC UK

Jack Shulman (CB) - cleared everything

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

CAMDEN PARK

David Kanzen (CB) - man of the match in his first game at centre back, was immense, won everything, blocked everything and while the rest of the back four changed throughout he stood firm

Steve Murad (GK) - two point-blank stops, was excellent throughout

Josh Tiano (CB) - went of after 20 minutes but came back for the good of the team at centre back and did very well on one leg

Jake Saunders and Yohan Jordi (M) - dominated a very strong Raiders midfield, covered every blade of grass

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

FAITHFOLD B

Dan Lowen (CB) - solid all game winning every dual, clearing absolutely everything. To top it off Lowen, playing centre back today, scored potentially Faithfold's goal of the season with a Scholesy rocket volley from outside the D which flew right into the bottom corner

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

TEMPLE FORTUNE

Adam Speck (CB) - captain marvel 

Brett Stead (CM) - bossed the game throughout 

Jorden Sharifian (S) - hat-trick again, great finishing 

Eshad Rahiv (M) - constant menace to the L'equipe full back, played his socks off 

Michael Goldberg (CAM) - ran the entire game, everything went through him, he was simply outstanding. Make sure he wins player of the week!

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

OAKWOOD A

Brad Wine (M) – fired up all game and got us back into it

Harvey Kaye (D) – great performance starting at RB and moving to LB

Jake Norton (D) – filled in for Dave Cohen who went off injured in the first half. Big future for Jake at Oakwood

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

REDBRIDGE JEWISH CARE B

Scott Shear (GK) - by far the best keeper in the league, and another smooth performance from the RJC B No. 1

Richie Caplin (RB) - kept the usual danger man Benjy Weinberger very quiet. I believe he is still in Richie pocket

Jordan Sapler (CB) - been brought in from the C team, and is shown he is by far one of the best CB in the league. Won everything in the air, against the big duo of Micheal Kenley and Josh Bloom. Just immense and a masterclass of how to defend against a long ball team

Dan Andrews (CB)- sensational from the "lanky" CB. By far his best game in an RJC shirt, first to every ball, stood toe to toe with the Lions forwards and had Micheal Kenley in his pocket

Scott McKenzie (LB) - a very solid performance, did not the Lions winger have  one second on the ball

Adam Noble (DM) - did an astonishing job in the middle. In the second half, his positioning and tackling was spot on and broke up the Lions play so much. Helped the gaffer out big time

Daniel Bean (CM) - their were screams of "Kante" so many times today. If Kante was watching he would actually think he is white brother! Pressured Lions everytime they came near the RJC B half. The engine of team, and just an amazing asset to have

Kane Hopps (CM) - worked so hard today, on and off the ball. His defensive side was outstanding, and his main attribute of carrying the ball was very effective for RJC B attacking. Assisted captain Brad Gayer for the second and crucial goal

Adam Goldman (RM) - he is another work-horse on this amazing squad. Put in 110 per cent. Just fantastic. Had been practicing his golf passes with gaffer before the game, and played a masterclass loft wedge in for RJC B first goal to assist Jack van Gelder

Brad Gayer (LM) - Captain fantastic - scored a very crucial second goal to put Lions heads down. His work rate today was brilliant, a real captain's performance

Jack Van Gelder (CF) - been brought in for last few games, and a great asset to have at the club. A proper player. Tucked away the first goal effortlessly. Always causing the Lions back line problems. Worked his socks off

Anthony Cope (CF) - worked tirelessly when brought on, and very effective in managing the game out. Just what the manager asked and he delivered

Sam Rank, Johan Simberg, Richard Stern and Richie Caplin (Management set-up) - without this backroom team none of this season would be possible
