DANNY CARO'S QUOTE OF THE WEEK
WINNER: - JONATHAN COHEN (Temple Fortune) - We might be a bit moany every now and again but I am confident in saying we have never shown a lack of respect to the league or anyone it. We are an honest, hardworking team and when several teams fold every year we persevere week in and week out in very difficult circumstances – that should be applauded. We will go again next week with a score to settle with Hendon "
Runner-up: JASON STEIN (Oakwood B) - "I read on his own Facebook that Lorian Madanes was terrific. He's a very good player. But I must have missed his status update when we beat them 4-3 a few weeks ago"
