JC GOAL OF THE WEEK: THE CONTENDERS
JOSH HARRIS (Hendon Utd) - a lovely ball down the line from Mordy Weiler found Moses Seitler who made a defence-breaking run, he then provided a lovely cross which was finished superbly by Harris to break the deadlock
ZAC GARBACZ (Hendon Utd) - a superb tackle and then an even better strike from 25 yards that swerved away from the keeper into the bottom corner side netting
JOSH BHARIER (Hendon Utd) - a move that started from the back and went through nearly every player. A through ball found Dovi Fehler who unselfishly passed it around the on-rushing keeper for Harris to finish into an empty net. A truly great team goal
MATT WARNER (NL Raiders) - scored a worldie free-kick against Jewdinese
JAMES BELCHAK (NL Galaxy) - incredible free-kick which left the keeper no chance. At least 30+ yards out
- NICK BARNETT (NL Galaxy) - a 25-yard knuckleball which cannoned off the underside of the bar and went in. Another incredible strike
SAM MONJACK (HMH) - spectacular quick, two-touch football, involving too many players to mention, but at its heart were Eli Wegrzyn and Monjack, with latter tucking home from the final defence-splitting pass by Wegrzyn
CONNOR PERL (FC Team) - GOAL 1 - Mitch Young cushioned a header down to Perl whom from the tightest of angles volleyed it first time into the roof of the net
CONNOR PERL (FC Team) - GOAL 2 – Ben Sollosi played the ball to Perl who dummied the ball through the defender's legs on halfway line ran on to slot it past the keeper
JAMES MILLET (Hertswood Vale) - GOAL 1 - a quality team goal involving Justin Mullem down the left side saw a ball fall to Millet 35 yards from goal who ran into the space before calmly dinking over the onrushing Redbridge keeper

JC QUOTE OF THE WEEK: THE CONTENDERS
JORDAN SAPLER (Hendon Utd) - "I want to give Fairlop huge credit for getting together a team and ensuring that the game was played. I know that they were struggling to get 11 men together during the week. They sometimes get a lot of stick but it was refreshing for a team to not just give up and say we don’t have a team and cancel the game. If only every team was like this it would ensure that much more football gets played"
JAKE SANDERS (Fairlop FC) - "At the 37th time of asking, our unbeaten league record as a club - which is surely one of the longest ever in the history of Jewish football - was finally ended, but I couldn't be prouder of the the boys. Not bad for a club that some said wouldn't last a season!"
GIDEON GALE (NL Raiders) - "We dominated the ball, possession and chances. Credit to every single one of the boys today in what was probably our best performance since I’ve been in charge. If that’s not a statement to the league, I’m not sure what is..."
MITCH YOUNG (FC Team) - QUOTE 1 - Connor Perl's goals were sensational and he is playing at a good level at the moment. If he can continue this form throughout the season then we are in for a promising season"
MITCH YOUNG (FC Team) - QUOTE 2 - "Our Essex boys are making a difference to us with their experience and leadership and I have no doubt last season we would have lost that game"
MITCH YOUNG (FC Team) - QUOTE 3 - "It was nice to see a new young referee (Sasha Emanuels) do the game. Well done to Richard Jaye for sourcing him. He kept his cool and made some tough decisions in front of a hostile Essex crowd”
DARREN LAWRENCE (Jewdinese) - "We’ve got to look ourselves in the mirror now and really see how much we want to win the league. We’ve got to vastly improve. It’s as simple as that"

YOUR WEEKEND REVIEW STARTS HERE:
MGBSFL PREMIER DIVISION
FAIRLOP FC 0 HENDON UNITED SPORTS 5
Deadly doubles from Josh Bharier and Josh Harris, plus one from Zac Garbacz, helped Hendon United make it three wins out of three for the season as they claimed a handsome 5-0 win at Seven Kings.
Jubilant Hendon boss Jordan Sapler told JC Sport: "It was another good performance and clean sheet. Once again credit to Fairlop, who without a recognised keeper, kept the game close for large periods. We move onto the cup against Club de Chigwell next week.”
Fairlop's Jake Sanders told JC Sport: "We battled well and although Hendon were the far better side on the day, had one of our two big chances gone in at 2-0, it could have been a different story. But we will take this loss on the chin and come back stronger when we return league action after the break and have the bulk of our squad back in our ranks."
DC Prediction: Fairlop 0 Hendon 2
===============
HMH 3 CAMDEN PARK 0
Jake Norton, Sam Monjack and George Goldberg guided HMH to their first win of the season as they overcame Camden Park 3-0 at the Hive.
HMH manager Avi Goldberg summed up today’s display, and told JC Sport: “It was a very good performance, which gets our season up and running. A clean sheet, good intensity and territorial possession, three goals and actually it could and should have been more. Camden are a dogged, well-organised side but today we found our rhythm and tempo which had been missing for too many periods in first two games.”
DC Prediction: HMH 2 CP 1
===============
DIVISION ONE
BAYERN MINCHA 0 BROOK FARM ROVERS 7
Brook Farm Rovers registered their first-ever MGBSFL victory, thanks to goals from Yoss Brownson (2), Philippe Auret, Aaron Benjamin, Dan Cohen, Simon Zeffertt and Alon Pinhas.
Rovers' joint-player-manager Dan Cohen told JC Sport: "It was a great way to get our first-ever MGBSFL victory and we look forward to building on this performance in the cup next week."
DC Prediction: Bayern 1 BFR 1
===============
NORTH LONDON GALAXY 4 MILL HILL DONS 3
James Belchak, Nick Barnett, Zac Rose and Josh Shack earned North London Galaxy their second consecutive victory as they edged past Mill Hill Dons in a seven-goal thriller.
Galaxy stormed into a 4-1 lead but a hat-trick from ZACH COHEN, including two late strikes, kept the Dons in the end.
Galaxy chief Luke Lewis told JC Sport: "An excellent performance by Galaxy which isn’t fully reflected by the scoreline. Bar a late penalty and a few sloppy errors, we played excellently and dominated throughout."
Dons boss Brandon Hamme told JC Sport: "I think we can take a lot of positives from the game. It took us a while to get going but when we got into the flow of things we played some great stuff."
DC Prediction: Galaxy 2 Dons 1
===============
NORTH LONDON RAIDERS 4 JEWDINESE 1
A brace from Aron Gale eased North London Raiders to an impressive 4-1 victory over Jewdinese in Wembley.
There were also goals from Watt Warner and Jordan Nathan as L'Orange claimed a statement victory over their promotion rivals.
NLR joint-manager Gideon Gale told JC Sport: "I think the score line says it all really. We absolutely dominated from minute one against a very strong 'Nese team and could have easily been more than four on another day. We dominated the ball, possession and chances. Credit to every single one of the boys today in what was probably our best performance since I’ve been in charge. If that’s not a statement to the league, I’m not sure what is..."
Sam Stern fired a consolation for 'Nese. Boss Darren Lawrence told JC Sport: "It was a really bad day at the office for us. We were second best in every department and going up against a title rival, it’s a really disappointing performance."
DC Prediction: NLR 2 Nese 1
===============
REDBRIDGE JEWISH CARE 0 HERTSWOOD VALE 3
JAMES MILLET was the hat-trick hero as Hertswood Vale returned to winning ways with an impressive 3-0 win over Redbridge JC at Fairlop.
Vale co-boss Jacob Emanuel, missed the game, but was happy to tell JC Sport: "It was a very professional performance from the boys, where we were missing 10 players through injury and general unavailability. An extremely satisfying result, and we’re very proud. Special mentions to Jack Green, Alex Trup and Tony Gold who slotted in perfectly into defence with their first appearances of the season."
RJC boss Daniel Jacobs told JC Sport: "You can't win them all. But there's more to come from this new Redbridge side."
DC Prediction: RJC 0 Vale 1
===============
DIVISION TWO
TEMPLE FORTUNE 15 (FIFTEEN) WEST HAMDILLAH 1
A four-goal blitz from DANNY SHERMAN plus trebles from SIMON COHEN and BENJI GOURGEY helped Temple Fortune rack up an incredible 15 goals as they destroyed new boys West Hamdillah at Silver Jubilee Park.
Further strikes from Adam Speck, Josh Lewis, Max Martin, Jacob Kalms and an own goal added the gloss.
Fortune boss Simon Linden told JC Sport: "It was a good win. We were ruthless in front of goal did well all round."
DC Prediction: Fortune Hamdillah
===============
CLUB DE CHIGWELL 1 FC TEAM 2
A deadly double from Connor Perl maintained FC Team's unbeaten start as they squeezed past Club De Chigwell 2-1 to stay top of the table.
Jamie Porter was on target for Chigwell.
Delighted FC Team player-manager Mitch Young told JC Sport: "It was an excellent win against a strong Chigwell team. We had to dig in deep, especially when we went down to 10 men, but this win sets up our season."
DC Prediction: CDC Team
===============
HAMPSTEAD DUCKS 2 PARIS SAINT-JEWMAIN 3
George Leigh, Josh Cohen and Joel Citron were the goal men as Paris Saint-Jewmain earned their second win in three games, winning a five-goal thriller in front of the JC cameras.
Ben Assor and Joe Metliss accounted for the goals for Hampstead Ducks.
DC Prediction: Ducks 3 PSJ 3
===============
NORTH WEST LONDON BEARS 1 SCRABBLE 1
Sam Shackleton was on the mark as North West London Bears shared the points with Scrabble, but they still await their first MGBSFL win.
Bears joint-player-manager James Harpin told JC Sport: "This was another game where we did not create enough to win the game. We are, of course, not happy with the start to our season but if we go and win two or three games on the bounce we will be in a good position."
DC Prediction: Bears 1 Scrabble 2
