With lots of games off, the judges were tickled by Sam Rosenthal words following the win over Camden, which probably summed up how many were feeling as Redbridge Jewish Care A boosted their title hopes with a 3-0 success.

Traditionally a man of few words post-match, Rosenthal told JC Sport: "The hot chocolate at half time helped and I'm not sure Camden really fancied a cold January day out in Essex"
