JC GOAL OF THE WEEK CONTENDERS
- JOSH CINNA (Mill Hill Dons) - hit the back of the net from 30 yards out, you could have stuck five goalkeepers in the net and the ball still would have gone. It’s good there were no speed cameras around because Josh Cinna would have been picking up three points, with the ball flying into the net like a rocket. Goal of the season contender for sure
- JOSH COHEN (Hertswood Vale) - picked up the ball on the left wing 30 yards from goal, shimmey'd right to knock the ball past the defender before arrowing a beautiful strike into the top right-hand corner. In his own words "pretty much Coutinho against Girona, but literally top corner"
- ZACK COLLINS (Oakwood A) - right had edge of the box into the corner of the net. Brilliant striker from the super sub back from Uni. The celebration was even better

JC QUOTE OF THE WEEK CONTENDERS
- AVI MARKIEWICZ (Faithfold A) - "I am very proud of my team and I have to thank every single player who contributed over the course of the season. David Woolf, in attendance today, is going to have a tough time getting medals for all those involved. It was hard work but over the course of the season we played some lovely attacking football and my team deserved it"
- JEFF GOTCH (Catford & Bromley) - "It was a shambles – when you win, you have 25 players – when you lose you have eight and three new players – was 0-0 for 60 minutes but in truth, they were more effective"
- JACOB EMANUEL (Hertswood Vale) - "Today is a proud day for the club - this result says a lot about how far the club have come, and is just reward for the the level of work and effort that Danny, Viv, Jack and myself have put into the club since we started up at the beginning of last season - we'll certainly enjoy a l'chaim or two tonight"
- DAN KRISTALL (Oakwood A) - "We now have a long gap to try and recover some of the injured players for the clash with title favourites Hendon. Whatever squad we put out, we will be ready for the game!"

FAITHFOLD A 1 NORTH LONDON RAIDERS B 1
Faithfold A were crowned champions of Division One, with a goal from player-manager Avi Markiewicz earning them a draw against Raiders B at the Hive.
The champagne was flowing, despite a last-minute equaliser from Scott Waissel in a game Faithfold should have won by several goals.
Faithfold boss Avi Markiewicz told JC Sport: "I am very proud of my team and I have to thank every single player who contributed over the course of the season. David Woolf, in attendance today, is going to have a tough time getting medals for all those involved. It was hard work but over the course of the season we played some lovely attacking football and my team deserved it."

CATFORD & BROMLEY MACCABI 0 BAYERN MINCHA 5
Another treble from top-scorer ADAM ELLIS enabled Bayern Mincha to maintain their two-point advantage over Mill Hill Dons following a five-star performance against the Cats. Samuel Leader and Sam Kanter added their names to the scoresheet.
Catford boss Jeff Gotch told JC Sport: "It was a shambles – when you win, you have 25 players – when you lose you have eight and three new players – was 0-0 for 60 minutes but in truth, they were more effective."
DC Prediction: Catford 1 Bayern 2
------------------------
------------------------
FC TEAM 11 FAITHFOLD B 0
MITCH YOUNG and ADAM RONES helped themselves to hat-tricks as FC Team reached double figures for the second time this season after outclassing Faithfold B. There were also goals for Danny Moss (2), Richard Salmon, Ryan Kangisser and Mike Patterson as Team went goal crazy.
FC Team player-manager Mitch Young told JC Sport: "It was a pleasing performance - sometimes, in these high-scoring games, you can lose energy and focus - but I though we applied ourselves well throughout the match."
DC Prediction: FC Team 5 Faithfold 0
------------------------
------------------------
MILL HILL DONS 5 NORTH LONDON RAIDERS C 2
Mill Hill Dons returned to winning ways as they produced a five-star display against Raiders C.
Goals from Harry Moss (2), Adam Kramer, Jamie Nagioff and a 30-yard thunderbolt from Josh Cinna eased the Dons home.
Delighted Dons boss Brandon Hamme told JC Sport: "It was a great performance from the boys, especially in the first half. We lacked a bit of sharpness towards the end but that’s understandable due to our lack of games recently but there are a lot of positives to take into next week’s crucial game."
DC Prediction: Dons 3 NLR 1
------------------------
------------------------
TEMPLE FORTUNE B 0 HERTSWOOD VALE 10
Hat-tricks from JOSH COHEN (4) and JAMES MILLET saw Hertswood Vale climb into fifth spot after clinching their biggest ever win in the MGBSFL, destroying Temple Fortune 10-0. Elio Elia (2) and Josh Gorb added the gloss on a memorable day for Vale.
Vale joint-manager Jacob Emanuel told JC Sport: "Today is a proud day for the club - this result says a lot about how far the club have come, and is just reward for the the level of work and effort that Danny, Viv, Jack and myself have put into the club since we started up at the beginning of last season - we'll certainly enjoy a l'chaim or two tonight."
DC Prediction: Fortune 1 Vale 3
