==================
JC GOAL OF THE WEEK NOMINATIONS
SAM LEADER (Brook Farm Rovers) – a flowing team move from back to front. After playing out from the back, Dan Cohen received it in the middle of the park from Alex Woffenden and played a superb ball through centre-back and left-back to Jake Dayan on the wing. His cross to the back post fell to Alon Pinhas who calmly laid it across for Leader to back heel into the corner
DAN HARDOON (HMH) - a beautiful lob as he was put through on goal
OSCAR WAGNER (HMH) - a sublime and slick seven-pass move and an equally sublime lay-off from Dom Feldman to George Goldberg on the run who fed Wagner to finish it off
MITCHELL GERBER (Borussia Barnet) - capped off a wonderful, flowing team move with a cool finish
ISAAC VIRCHIS (Mill Hill Dons) - took up the opportunity, with usual free-kick taker Zach Cohen on the bench, to have a strike from distance. He placed it right in the top right corner leaving the goalkeeper stranded from 25 yards
JOE REECE (Mill Hill Dons)- Team Goal - everyone was getting involved in the build up to this goal ending with a great pass by Zach Cohen to Olly Goodman who unselfishly laid it beautifully on a plate for Reece
HARRY MOSS (Mill Hill Dons) - a strike from just inside the box that he couldn’t have really hit any better. He hit the sweet spot and it went rocketing into the net
JOSH BHARIER (HENDON UTD SPORTS) – great team move and a great ball across goal by Chaim Korman left JB to finish into the roof of the net
ZACK LEWIS (HENDON UTD SPORTS) - GOAL 1 – another great team move saw the ball switched to Chaim Korman who chested it down for Jordan Mizrahi, he sent in a wonderful cross to the far post and Zack headed in superbly
ZACK LEWIS (HENDON UTD SPORTS) - GOAL 2 –– one of the best free-kicks you’ll see at this level. Whipped past James Harpin, bounced off the bar and was unsavable
JOSH HARRIS (HENDON UTD SPORTS) - GOAL 1 – won the ball on the edge of the box, danced inside 3 men and then finished through the keeper's legs
JOSH HARRIS (HENDON UTD SPORTS) - GOAL 2 – received the loose ball 30 yards out from a cleared corner and whipped the ball up and over the keeper into the far corner. What a strike
==================
JC SAVE OF THE WEEK NOMINATIONS
ZACK NATHAN (North London Galaxy) - pulled off a great save when turning round a goal-bound shot that was heading for the top right-hand corner
BEN POLLINS (Brook Farm Rovers) - a cross from the right-hand side fell to PSJ’s striker two yards out but Pollins denied him with a brilliant point-blank reaction save to keep the scores level
==================
JC QUOTE OF THE WEEK NOMINATIONS
JAMES HARPIN (NWL Bears) - "It was a tough day at the office for our young boys. We were outclassed by some outstanding attacking play from Hendon. If you were to look at the match stats, I reckon Hendon had 50 shots and 90 per cent possession. They were just too good for us today and showed why they will walk all three competitions this year"
LUKE LEWIS (North London Galaxy) - "We can win games by a landslide, edge it through last-minute winners and also do it in front of the masses in a penalty shoot-out. Unbeaten all season, we want all the belts!"
BRANDON HAMME (Mill Hill Dons) - "I couldn’t have asked for a better birthday present from the boys, they showed up in style"
==================
CYRIL ANEKSTEIN CUP ROUND TWO DRAW
YOUR WEEKEND REVIEW STARTS HERE:
PETER MORRISON TROPHY ROUND ONE
BORUSSIA BARNET 1 CAMDEN PARK 1 (Borussia won 4-3 on penalties)
Second division Borussia Barnet stunned Premier Division Camden Park in front of the JC cameras, winning the tie on penalties.
Borussia opened the scoring midway through the first half - some brilliant-link up play between Scott Greenfield and Michael Kenley saw the ball played square to Mitchell Gerber for a tidy finish into the bottom corner. Camden equalised shortly after, with what was their only clear-cut chance of the game, when Danny Sherman equalised.
Borussia just couldn’t find the winner, "despite dominating for large periods of the game". The tie went straight to penalties - both goalkeepers, Camden's Steven Murad and Borussia's Joe Botchin, saved one apiece while Camden saw another effort hit the post, meaning Borussia progressed, with Gerber, Jack Mattey, Kenley and Adam Lipman all converting.
Borussia joint-manager Brad Papier told JC Sport: "I would nominate every single player today for team of the week as for a Division Two side to beat a Prem side you have to do something special. The goal was worthy of goal of the week for the build up play. An incredible performance from all of them."
DC Prediction: Borussia 2 Camden 3

HENDON UNITED SPORTS 13 (THIRTEEN) NORTH WEST LONDON BEARS 1
A four-goal bonanza from ZACK LEWIS helped MGBSFL leaders Hendon United Sports overpower North West London Bears in a ruthless message to their rivals.
Josh Harris (2), Josh Bharier (2), Chaim Korman, Simon Peterman, Kiki Levin, Rocky Spitzer and Moses Seitler added the gloss for last season's double winners.
Hendon boss Jordan Sapler told JC Sport: "We did what we had to do today, the Bears set up to defend strongly and for the first 20 minutes they did so. Once Josh Bharier scored the first though we gained the confidence and belief of ourselves and started to come into our own.
"We scored some really lovely goals and had the ball for the majority of the game, if it wasn’t for James in the Bears goal it could’ve been 20. There’s always things that we can improve on and we still need to be more ruthless in the final third but today was about securing the win and giving people more minutes in the bit to get everyone fully fit. Full credit to NWL Bears, they knew it wasn’t going to be easy but we showed why we won the double last year.”
NWLB's consolation was an own goal. Bears joint-player-manager James Harpin told JC Sport: "It was a tough day at the office for our young boys. We were outclassed by some outstanding attacking play from Hendon. If you were to look at the match stats, I reckon Hendon had 50 shots and 90 per cent possession. They were just too good for us today and showed why they will walk all three competitions this year.
"Hendon have some of the best Jewish footballers in the country in their ranks and it showed today. We still put in the effort and done ourselves proud despite the result. Many other teams would’ve folded when drawn against Hendon, but we played the game and tried our hardest. Next week is the big one against PSJ, with many of our boys being good mates with their players, so we cannot lose!”
DC Prediction: Hendon 4 Bears 0
================
NORTH LONDON RAIDERS 2 HMH 6
Holders HMH are safely through after hitting Division One joint-leaders North London Raiders for six.
Goals from Thomas Prais, Oscar Wagner (2), Dan Hardoon, Alex Moss and George Goldberg eased HMH through.
HMH boss Avi Goldberg told JC Sport: "Raiders received an HMH team who produced a picture-perfect first 30 minutes, restricting Raiders to one shot and Josh Goldstein keeping Liron Mannie in his pocket. We must have had 80 per cent possession and should have been out of sight creating numerous chances. This week there was no man-mountain blocking the goal and we raced into a 3-0 lead. Raiders came out fighting in second half and credit to them but in truth it should have been 4-0 before they pulled one back and before Alex Davies had to pull off his first save of the match and some save it was. A banana skin avoided but in truth the gulf in class showed. The cup holders roll on to the next round."
Aron Gale scored twice for Raiders, and joint-manager Gideon Gale told JC Sport: "It was a disappointing morning for us. You can’t afford to give HMH 3-0 headstarts and wait for 50 minutes to start playing football. We had a huge chance at 3-1 to make it 3-2, but then they go up the other end to make it 4-1. We made sloppy mistakes and lacked a clinical edge. The management team will make sure that’s our first and last defeat of the season. Our priority is the league and we’re looking forward to getting back on track next weekend!"
DC Prediction: Raiders 1 HMH 1 (HMH to win on penalties)
================
MACCABI LONDON FC BLUE 3 JEWDINESE 0
Ben Kohler, James Gold and Richard Gold struck as Premier Division class told as MLFC Blue ran out worthy winners against first division Jewdinese.
MLFC player-manager Max Kyte told JC Sport: "It was great to get back to winning ways and we controlled the game for the most part. It was a good team performance and we are really pleased to get through to the next round of the PM, which we always enjoy playing in."
'Nese manager Darren Lawrence told JC Sport: "It was a pretty bad day at the office for us today. We were beaten by a very good Maccabi London side. It was frustrating to concede from two set-pieces but their third goal was an excellent passing move. We are all looking forward to having some league games now and gaining some momentum and getting some points on the board."
DC Prediction: MLFC 2 Nese 1
================
MACCABI LONDON FC RED 0 NORTH LONDON GALAXY 0 (Galaxy won 5-4 on penalties)
North London Galaxy held their nerve to beat Division One rivals MLFC Red in a dramatic fashion, winning a shoot-out at Rowley Lane.
In an even first half, Galaxy had the majority of the possession but failed to break down a well-organised MLFC defence and while chances were few and far between, Galaxy could have taken the lead on half-time but the chance went begging.
MLFC created better chances in the second half, and on chances created "should have won the game," according to boss Joel Nathan, but it wasn’t to be ... MLFC hit the bar through an Adam Arnold shot before Zack Nathan pulled off a great save when turning round a goal bound shot that was heading for the top right-hand corner.
Nick Barnett for NLG and Dan Green both missed their penalties, before Tyler Gordon, who had not put a foot wrong in the whole game, was the unlucky one whose spot-kick was saved to give the game to NLG. Luke Lewis, Zac Rose, James Belchak, Jayden Tomlinson, Jordan Grundman successfully converted for NLG, with goalkeeper Zack Nathan keeping out two.
Galaxy player-manager Luke Lewis told JC Sport: "So proud of my boys - can win games by a landslide, edge it through last-minute winners and also do it in front of the masses in a penalty shoot-out. Unbeaten all season, we want all the belts! Into the next round we go."
MLFC boss Joel Nathan told JC Sport: "It’s a shame we are out but good luck to NLG in the next round."
DC Prediction: MLFC 1 Galaxy 2
================
HAMPSTEAD DUCKS 1 FC TEAM 6
Ex-North West Neasden star Jonny Haik marked his Maccabi football return with a goal to help his new club FC Team ease into round two.
He was joined on the scoresheet by top-scorer Richard Salmon, Dave Cohen, Mitch Young and Josh Morris (2).
FC Team player-manager Mitch Young told JC Sport: "We played well today in all areas of the park and I am pleased with the standard of play. Our fitness still needs to improve as a squad to really reach the levels I know we can reach. Jonny Haik had a great debut and we are expecting big things from him as we are with the rest of the squad. We have high standards this year!”
DC Prediction: Ducks 1 Team 3
================
HERTSWOOD VALE 8 CLUB DE CHIGWELL 2
JAMES MILLET continued his purple patch to the tune of four goals as Hertswood Vale made easy work of their tie against new boys Club De Chigwell.
Harry Graham (2), Josh Gorb and Ashley Hirschberger were also among the scorers for Vale.
CDC took too long to get out of the blocks, Hertswood took advantage of this and were 5-0 up at the break. The second half saw an improvement from CDC but Hertswood scored four more from corners. Chigwell battled to the end and were rewarded with goals from Daniel Garfinkle and Harrison Grant.
Vale joint-manager Jacob Emanuel told JC Sport: "We’re delighted to be in the second round of the Peter Morrison Trophy for only the second time in our history. Bring on the draw!"
CDC co-manager James Rose told JC Sport: "It was a tough game today. Hertswood Vale showed why they have had a strong start to the season. Having said that the boys know they weren’t at the races today and where we need to improve. Unfortunately we are out of both cups early on but it will allow us to focus on our league performances which was the main aim at the start of the season."
DC Prediction: Vale 3 CDC 1
================
BROOK FARM ROVERS 2 PARIS SAINT-JEWMAIN 0
Dan Cohen and Samuel Leader fired Brook Farm Rovers into the second round at the expense of second division PSJ.
BFR started brightly and got their rewards within the first 20 minutes. First, Dan Cohen nicked the ball in the D, drove forwards, shifted it onto his right and hit it from outside the box leaving the keeper with no chance as the ball found the bottom left corner.
Then a flowing team move from back to front resulted in the second goal. After playing out from the back, Dan Cohen received it in the middle of the park from Alex Woffenden and played a superb ball through centre-back and left-back to Jake Dayan on the wing. His cross to the back post fell to Alon Pinhas who calmly laid it across for Leader to back heel into the corner.
In the second half, Rovers stayed compact and defensively sound to hold out for a clean sheet and nullify PSJ’s threats. BFR joint-manager Dan Cohen told JC Sport: "It was a scrappy game but we dug deep, worked hard and defended solidly. We had two goals harshly ruled out for offside and lots of other chances to kill the game off but it wasn’t to be and we held out for a comfortable 2-0 win. Good luck to PSJ for the season, it was a great battle and they will do very well this season in Division Two. As for BFR, we move into the next round of the cup and continue our recent unbeaten run."
DC Prediction: BFR 3 PSJ 1
================
REDBRIDGE JEWISH CARE 13 (THIRTEEN) WEST HAMDILLAH 0
NIV GUR and playmaker JOSH JOSEPH hit hat-tricks as Redbridge Jewish Care sealed their biggest win of the season after putting 13 past West Hamdillah.
There were also braces from Daniel Wexler, Ben Nathan and Daniel Jacobs, while Ross Weinrabe added the gloss.
Jubilant RJC boss Daniel Jacobs told JC Sport: "It was a comprehensive win in the end, good to keep the clean sheet and get some goals on the board. West Hamdillah players kept going until the very end and we wish them well for the rest of season."
DC Prediction: RJC 4 Hamdillah 0
================
SCRABBLE 1 MILL HILL DONS 6
Youth conquered experience as Mill Hill Dons ran Scrabble ragged, with ISAAC VIRCHIS (3), Zach Cohen, Joseph Reece and Harry Moss registering in the 6-1 demolition.
The Dons marched into a 4-0 lead at half-time before a tighter second 45. Dons' boss Brandon Hamme told JC Sport: "I couldn’t have asked for a better birthday present from the boys, they showed up in style. This was by far the best we have performed this season, we showcased what we are capable of. We moved the ball around with confidence and showed real composure in front of goal. We now to make this the catalyst for our season and get a good string of results going. We should be more than capable of doing that."
DC Prediction: Scrabble 3 Dons 2
