JC HERO OF THE WEEK
Rob Richman and David Simnock (North London Raiders C) - After keeper Alex Kanter fractured his wrist in the warm-up, Richman volunteered to go between the sticks. A quick phonecall was made to B team keeper David Simnock and he came rushing in to take over after about 30 minutes of the game gone. A truly heroic effort by the pair of them.
