JC GOAL OF THE WEEK CONTENDERS

- MORDY WEILER (Hendon Utd) - fabulous, free-flowing team passing move culminating in Yoav Kestenbaum playing in Weiler who fired first-time past Joe Botchin to level on the stroke of half-time

- SVI FREEDMAN (Los Blancos) - clever link-up play between Lewis and Krieger found Freedman an extra yard of space outside the box who rifled home into the top corner from 25 yards

- MAX KYTE (ML Lions White) - Eshed Rahav broke down the left and set the ball to Kyte, allowing him to run onto the ball and whip the ball with pace into the top left corner, leaving the keeper with no chance

- YOSS BROWNSON (Faithfold B) - netted a stunning long-range volley in a hat-trick

- BEN KAYE (NL Raiders C) - dipping shot from outside the box to get us to back to 4-3.

JC SAVE OF THE WEEK CONTENDERS

JC QUOTE OF THE WEEK CONTENDERS

- GREG CORIN (Hendon Utd) - QUOTE 1 - "The desire, commitment and effort of today’s performance epitomised our season. Relentless in trying to win game after game and it’s great for the team that we’ve managed to bring it all together"

- GREG CORIN (Hendon Utd) - QUOTE 2 - "We enjoy today and prepare ourselves for the Anekstein final in two weeks time where we know Oakwood will be as fired up as ever and they’ll want to ensure we don’t do the double this year. Hopefully we can put in one more big performance"

- DAN KRISTALL (Oakwood A) - "I'd like to wish Hendon a big mazel tov on winning the title. They deserve it because they have been the most consistent side in the league this season so fair play to them. To win a title, as we saw last season, you have to win games regularly and for several reasons (mainly injuries), we just haven't quite been able to do that this season"

JACOB EMANUEL (Hertswood Vale) - "In fairness to Catford, they played their long-ball tactics to a tee, and I imagine that Jeff “Tony Pulis” Gotch will be disappointed not to have won this one"

- DAVID GARSON (Faithfold B) - "We are delighted to get to the final and with it also being my last Faithfold game before moving onto Masters we have sold out of our initial allocation already and had to request further tickets"

PETER MORRISON TROPHY SEMI-FINAL

MACCABI MANCHESTER 2nd 0 HAROLDEANS 1

A first-half header from Eden Harris saw Haroldeans book their place in the Jewish FA Cup final for the first time following a hard-fought win over Maccabi 2nd at Brooklands.

Harris found the net two minutes before half-time for the MJSL table-toppers.

SEE MATCH PHOTOS

Haroldeans boss Mike Bloomberg told JC Sport: “I wasn’t too confident before the game, with key men Paul Harris and Maxim Green missing. But the players stepped up and the performance was outstanding. Our back five, including 17-year-old keeper Jared Clein were superb.

"That was our third clean sheet in a week - and that’s good going at any level. This group of players are on the verge of achieving something special if they maintain this attitude and effort.“

DC Prediction: Maccabi 2 Haroldeans 1

PETER MORRISON TROPHY QUARTER-FINAL

MACCABI MANCHESTER 1st 0 MACCABI LONDON LIONS WHITE 1

A second-half strike from Max Kyte saw Lions White keep alive their hopes of silverware with a gutsy 1-0 win over highly-fancied Maccabi 1st at Brooklands.

SEE MATCH PHOTOS

The decisive came on 60 minutes when Eshed Rahav down the left who turned and set the ball to Kyte, allowing him to run onto the ball and whip the ball with pace into the top left corner, leaving the keeper with no chance.

MLL's Will Beresford told JC Sport: "It was a great battle today from the first minute to the 93rd. We came prepared for a battle and put aside our usual expressive fluid football to get a win.

"The whole back four of Max Hassel, Alex Taylor, James Gold and myself won every header and tackle and let the Mancs know that this wasn’t going to be an easy game. Their solid performance allowed the midfield to drive forward and press the Maccabi ball players and nullify their attacking threat.

Adam Arnold gave a captain's performance and was buzzing around the “hole” both on the attack and also nipping at the heels of their No. 4. We battled for the final 30 and put in a great team performance to hold out the win."

DC Prediction: Manchester 2 Lions 1

BARRY GOLDSTEIN TROPHY SEMI-FINALS

TEMPLE FORTUNE 0 FC TEAM 0 (Fortune won 3-0 on penalties)

Joel Carlowe was the hero of the hour as Temple Fortune set up a final showdown against Faithfold B after holding their nerve to beat FC Team on penalties.

After a goalless 90 minutes, Carlowe saved three spot-kicks to seal Fortune's passage into the final on April 29 at Rowley Lane.

Jubilant Fortune boss Simon Linden told JC Sport: "The 90 minutes were tough: FC Team probably edged it but we wanted it more as a group, from 1 to 16 of those involved, they all didn’t let the club down. It’s a proud day for this legendary football club as we go into our 50th year next season."

FC Team player-manager Mitch Young remarked: “This is the first time all season we have failed to score and if you don’t score, you cant win a game of football."

FAITHFOLD B 4 NORTH LONDON RAIDERS C 3

YOSS BROWNSON was the hat-trick hero as Faithfold B booked their place in the final following a seven-goal thriller against Raiders C at Rowley Lane. Josh Martin scored the other on a memorable morning for the Superhoops.

NLR's goals came via Liam Stein and Ben Kaye (2), which included a stunning JC Goal of the Week contender from outside of the penalty area.

Jubilant Faithfold player-manager David Garson told JC Sport: "I thought we controlled the game well today and Yoss’s first two goals would deserve to win any match. Unfortunately, despite being 4-1 up we managed to make it an exciting last few minutes and conceded two. 

"We are delighted to get to the final and with it also being my last Faithfold game before moving onto Masters we have sold out of our initial allocation already and had to request further tickets."

Raiders boss Sam Rose told JC Sport: "Obviously, we are disappointed to lose the game and not make the final this year, but I felt it was a game decided by fine margins and individual decision-making.

"I actually think overall we played a very good game, started well, kept to our tactics, but it was those key decisions that cost us in the end. I was extremely proud of our comeback in the second half, which ultimately came up short, and we’ll look to give our all in our final game against Fairlop and play a part in the title race.”

DC Prediction: Faithfold 1 Raiders 3

MATCH HIGHLIGHTS

SEE MATCH PHOTOS

Oakwood forged ahead early on via Leor Sidle, but a brilliant team move saw Mordi Weiler equalise on the stroke of half-time. Hendon maintained their momentum to score two more goals in the second half via top-scorer Zac Lewis and Dovi Fehler and win the title for the first time since season 2013/14.

Delighted Hendon player-manager Greg Corin told JC Sport: "I’m immensely proud of winning the league title today against a competitive and hardworking Oakwood team. For me the score was deserved and I believe we showed today we are the best team in this league by some way."

"We can take lots of positives from the performance today against a full-strength Hendon side and we have been generally able to use the game as preparation for the final and an opportunity to give players minutes," he remarked. "We will hope to welcome back a few key players for the final in a few weeks."

BAYERN MINCHA 0 FAIRLOP FC 3

Fairlop FC moved into pole position to win the title after beating fellow new boys Bayern Mincha, courtesy of strikes from Daryl Rubin, Bradley Gayer and Max Freedman.

Proud Fairlop boss Aaron Dias told JC Sport: "It was a big step towards the title, but we know there is still a lot of work left, with us need to get 10 points from our last five games."

Vale joint-manager Jacob Emanuel told JC Sport: "It was a shame to end the season like that, however we were far from our best today and Fairlop capitalised on that."

DC Prediction: Bayern 2 Fairlop 2

-------------------------------

CATFORD & BROMLEY MACCABI 2 HERTSWOOD VALE 2

Vale came from 2-1 down to earn a point in a thriller against the Cats. Josh Gorb put Vale ahead in the 28th minute but Catford grabbed two goals just before half time. Vale nicked a point in the 92nd minute; Josh Cohen tricked his way into the box, with Jack Shulman’s pressure on a Catford defender forcing him to put the ball through his own net. 

Vale joint-manager Jacob Emanuel told JC Sport: "In fairness to Catford, they played their long-ball tactics to a tee, and I imagine that Jeff “Tony Pulis” Gotch will be disappointed not to have won this one. We didn’t turn up at all but we’ll absolutely take a point in our quest to finish fifth."

DC Prediction: Catford 1 Vale 3
