DANNY CARO'S GOAL OF THE WEEK
WINNER: - STEVE SUMMERS (Redbridge JC A) - received the ball about 35 yards out on the left hand side, looked up and curled the ball into the top right of the net with their keeper stationary, pure class!
Runner-up: DAN SELIGMAN (Oakwood B) - absolute stunner in the first half from 25-30 yards that landed in the top right corner. Was determined to put in a shift in central midfield and certainly did so
3rd: SAM SOLLOSI (Redbridge JC A) - with fantastic dribbling skills and futsal technical drills, Sollosi completed his first half hat-trick by beating a few trailing Hendon defenders and then sent Corin tumbling the wrong way in the Hendon goal as he did him with his eyes and chipped the ball over him for a goal of pure beauty
-----------------------------
-----------------------------
DANNY CARO'S SAVE OF THE WEEK
WINNER: - JAMES CASTLE (Harmen) - on as an early first-half substitute for the injured Max Shields – Rob Hershkorn had an opportunity to pull one back with a free-kick just outside the area. With the ball heading towards the top corner of the net, James managed to tip the ball on to the bar and away from danger with Rob still talking about the “unbelievable save” after the final whistle
Runner-up: BRAD GRANT (Redbridge JC A) - kept out a one-on-one with Dovi Fehler to preserve three points against Hendon
-----------------------------
-----------------------------
JC QUOTE OF THE WEEK: THE CONTENDERS
- JON JACOBS (Redbridge JC A) - "We finally unleashed the three Sollosi brothers in midfield and they delivered a family masterclass"
- DAVID GARBACZ (Hendon Utd SC A) - "Good luck to Redbridge though - they may well have a team to challenge for the top trophy this year and that can only be good for Jewish football"
- ADAM GLEKIN (Hendon B) - QUOTE 1 - "if we were at 70 per cent for the opening 45 minutes, we made up for it in the second half by being at 130 per cent - I thought we were phenomenal"
- ADAM GLEKIN (Hendon B) - QUOTE 2 - "That's four wins on the trot and we're flying high, but it would be nice for my heart if we could turn up right from the first whistle!"
- DAVID DOMB (NL Raiders C) - "HMH were a real credit to their football club. They played the game in the right way and were unlucky to be on the losing side"
- ROB RICHMAN (NL Raiders A) - "It's another pleasing win against a really committed and tough side. Team picked up some big victories last year and I'm sure they will do so again this year so we are delighted to take the three points this time round"
- JOSH DAGUL (Brady Maccabi) - "We might be shipping goals but we are scoring for fun and let that be a lesson to the league, you might score 2,3 or 4 but we will score 3, 4 or 5"
