Jon Breger (CM) - capped a solid performance with a great goal
Matt Drage (CM) - 90 minutes always in the action chipped in with a goal and assist
Rich Salmon (S) - outstanding one the penalty as the defence could not handle him and scored two great goals

UJIA
Ben Radstone (D) - pegged UJIA back to level the score and take the game into extra time. Solid performance all round

Darren Rolfe (GK) - made a couple of important clearances / saves and of course save the fourth penalty.
Simon Sokel (coach) - very organised and knowledgable with plenty of experience to get us over the line. Top man

REDBRIDGE B
Harrison Ford (M) - ran the Brixton defence ragged, was always a threat never stoped running for 90 minutes, fantastic attitude great lad
Richie Caplin (CB) - captain's performance, led the team organised never lost a tackle and when pushed into midfield was a menace and then got fouled after a great run and scored a pen
Scott Mackenzie (LB) - superb in defence and got forward whenever he could
Ollie Brooks (GK) - some great saves had no chance with any of the goals, marshalled his defence superbly to keep RJC in the game
