MATCHDAY 15 NOMINATIONS

North West Neasden C
Michael Perkin (GK) "a faultless performance from the new signing" on debut against free-scoring Shirley Park
Adam Levene (CB) - "by far the best defensive performance I have seen this season"
Louis Taylor - dropped himself and masterminded a 2-1 win over Shirley Park

Southgate Harmen B
Ilan Ben-Zion (GK) - regular right-back, help out the team by taking the gloves and had a blinder in goal. He commanded his box well and pulled off a number of match winning saves. Thoroughly deserved Man-of-the-Match award in the shock win over Norstar A

Blizzard Storm
Dan Vandermolen - "played centre midfield today, controlled the game like last week from centre back. Keeper Nick Rubin has quoted that whoever is in charge of the next Maccabiah better have a good look at this kid, he is a hot prospect in the Jewish game!"

Brady Maccabi B
James Joseph "the midfield maestro played in a deeper role than usual, a tactical masterstroke that worked tremendously, as he scored two, and pulled the strings in the centre of the park"
Michael Beaber (defensive mid) - "the anchorman in Brady's attack minded midfield. Beaber did not put a foot wrong all day, as he swept up everything that came his way in the middle, allowing the players ahead of him the freedom to play"
Daniel Hildebrand (striker) - "another two goals from the striker, showing why he has been touted in many corners as the signing of the season"
Jonny Meltzer (centre back)- "back to his usual self. A rock at the back for Brady"
Matthew Posner (right back) - "played at full back the only way he knows how, with attacking flair and high energy. Integral in the second goal, giving Brady the momentum"

Athletic Bilbaum
Ben Bell - "two very well-taken goals and an excellent performance marauding the Brixton defence

NW Neasden A
Jake Gottlieb - "had been out for three weeks with a pulled hammy and had not trained in that time, came in at centre half and produced one of the best performances I have seen at this level"

SPEC FC
Ricky Lawrence (Centre Mid) - "pulled the strings in midfield like a puppateer on speed"
Doug Berlin (Centre Back) - "showed why he is known in the MSFL as 'the wall' with a solid performance. Dominant in the air whilst also happy to get the ball down and start attacks from the back"

Chigwell Athletic
Russell Brill - "used all his experience and kept their main striker Dan Orgel very quiet. Class display from the ex-Wingate player"
Jonathan Swead - playing alongside centre back partner Brillo, organised and didn't lose a header. Great defensive performance"
Daniel Castle - "back after five weeks out and lead by example, as always. Ran the game at times capped off with a brilliant header
