NOMINATIONS

FC TEAM A
Adam Rones (GK) - with only 11 players and no goalkeeper, Ronesy volunteered and did not put a foot wrong
Jake Weiner (CB) - solid performance a real leader at the back
Simon Peterman (CM) - dominated the midfield area
Mitch Young (S) - first start in 4 years and played the no. 10 role brilliantly, assisting Salmon
Richard Salmon (S) - hat-trick hero - unplayable

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

SHIRLEY PARK
Gideon Gold (M) - too tricky form Harmen to deal with, getting back to his best
Jamie Kent (S) - absolutely clinical in front of goal, and looking back to his best

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

REDBRIDGE JEWISH CARE B
Nathan Sollosi (M) - a virtuoso performance in midfield that was inspirational as it was technically magnificent
Richard Gold (D) - full-back performance par-excellence, kept Faithfold's all-star attack quiet and one every 50:50 challenge

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

BRADY MACCABI A
Jake Rinsler (D) - already showing why he is going to be one of the best jewish defenders ... at 16 never let's anything faze him and was immense today

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

CATFORD & BROMLEY MACCABI
Reuben John (CM) - brilliant in an unfamiliar
Steve Keller (RM) - superb on the right of midfield

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

NORSTAR LONDON RAIDERS C
Grant Waissel (GK) - pulled off a string of fine saves to give Norstar a chance for a shock
Oli Nathan (CB) - playing out of position after an early injury, had a commanding presence and scored a second stunning goal in as many weeks
Alex Goodman (CB) - proved that he is a brilliantly versatile after having an excellent game not in his preferred position
Alex Sherr (CM) - was given the job of protecting the back FOUR and did a superb job of it

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

HENDON UNITED SPORTS CLUB A
Yishai Last - lethal from start to finish, including completing his hat-trick inside the first 10 minutes which must be some kind of record
Avi Korman (M) - just tore Boca apart down the right flank all match

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

TEMPLE FORTUNE
Tony Hirschstein (GK) stand in keeper put in a superb display in goal, quick off his line, mopped everything up, a superb goalline double save at 0-0
Stan Segal (RB) – debut for the club, never got beaten, won everything in the air, calm and composed

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

NORSTAR LONDON RAIDERS A
Rob Blackman (LB/CM) – a man-of-the-match performance from the Raiders utility man first at left back and then acting as midfield destroyer quashing every attack Brady tried to launch.
Ethan Zone (RM) – nominated as much for his outstanding work-rate in defence as his attacking play; prevented Brady’s usually potent left-side from getting a hold on the game
David Dinkin (CF) – back to his best in the second half and capped off a trademark number 10 performance with a stunning free kick
Sam Singer (GK) – without him the score line would have looked a lot worse for Brady – quick off his line, excellent handling and an incredible save to deny Adam Jason in the second half. Not often a goalkeeper outshines Doffman
