l A four-goal salvo from Zac Lewis sent MGBSFL leaders Hendon United A four points clear following a 7-0 demolition of FC Team A.
December 9, 2016 14:29Further strikes from Dovi Fehler, Josh Harris and Yehuda Korman added the gloss for David Garbacz’s men.
Hendon boss Garbacz said: “If we can keep on winning we will be incredibly hard to overhaul. Congratulations to my players who were simply magnificent.”
FC Team manager Mitch Young commented: “When we do not have our strongest 11 against the top three sides in the division, I need everyone to perform to their best. None of my players were anywhere near that and we were deservedly beaten.”
A superb 92nd minute free-kick from Oli Sade boosted Finchley City’s promotion hopes as they edged past Los Blancos in Divsion One.
Finchley boss Joel Holder commented: “We are quietly climbing the league and I think we are establishing ourselves as a force to be reckoned with.”
A deadly double from player-manager Chaim Gothold ensured Real Hendon heaped more misery on an out-of-sorts Catford & Bromley Maccabi.
Real match-winner Gothold commented: “We rode our luck a little, but going into the break 1-0 down we did very well in the second half to win the game.
“We worked extremely well as a team and can be proud of our performance.”
Simon Linden admits Temple Fortune only have themselves to blame as they lost ground on leaders L’Equipe after a 2-2 draw against Hertswood Vale in Division Two.
Josh Gorb had put Vale ahead before goals from Jordan Sharafian and Gab Stone looked to have secured the points for Fortune.
Hertswood dented Temple Fortune’s hopes with a surprise point - their first of the season - in a game where the red-hot Jordan Sharafian and Gab Stone registered for the visitors.
But a superb 35-yard strike from Ben Mandel earned Hertswood their first point of the season.
TFFC boss Linden said: “It was a disappointing performance and the boys know that. It should have been a comfortable win and there are no excuses.”
Joint-manager Jacob Emanuel believes Hertswood were good value for their point.
He said: “I’m proud of every player for an incredible team performance. Our next target is to end L’Equipe’s unbeaten run on Sunday.”
Brandon Hamme described striker Zack Cohen as “unplayable” after Mill Hill Dons crushed FC Team B 7-1.
Cohen (4), Richard Hayim (2) and one from Adam Isaacs eased the Dons to their biggest win of the season.
Jacob Symons fired a consolation for FC Team.
Hamme commented: “We look so much better than we did a few months ago.
“I have to give credit to all the players because they have completely bought into the system and have given it 100 per cent yet again.”
“Zack Cohen dominated the game. He was a nightmare to defend against and we are just glad to have him at the club as we continue our push for promotion.”
Josh Hambling insists Redbridge C “will not get carried away” following the 5-1 victory over Boca Jewniors.
Barry Green, Dan Lipman, Craig Phillips, Jacob Kaye and Ben Oldstein boosted RJC’s promotion hopes, with Anton Nyman replying.
RJC player-manager Hambling said: “Faithfold away next week will be a different contest altogether.
“We’re confident in getting the job done and completing a league double, so long as we stay focused.”
