NOMINATIONS

SCRABBLE FC
Danny Sherman (S) - another superb display of hold play and battled till the final whistle. Hit the bar full on with a stunning second half volley
Josh Tiano (LB) - a real captain's performance leading from the back
Zak McLeod (S/W) - caused the Raiders defence a lot of problems with some probing runs
Adam Newman (D) - solid second-half display which tightened things up after moving from the left wing after half-time
Ben Law (GK) - yet another match-winning performance having made crucial saves to deny Raiders attack on several occasions

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

OAKWOOD B
James Abrams (CM) - grew into the game. Passed the ball intelligently, broke up play as best he could and drove us forward when possible. Like a fine wine, getting better with age!

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

NORTH LONDON RAIDERS B
David Simnock (GK) - for that late save, especially given he picked up a nasty twisted ankle in the first half and battled through the pain to stay on the pitch
Danny Bloom (LB/CM) - excelled at left-back in the first half and in centre-mid in the second half
Lewis Blitz (D) - capped a solid defensive display by marauding up the right wing for a one two and calm finish to secure the point

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

NORTH LONDON RAIDERS A
Jake Doffman (GK) – a real leader in the side this season. Made match changing save with score 1-0 to Harmen and followed up with two other excellent saves
Ricky Engleman (CM) – all-action midfield master-class. Popped up with the equaliser and was an example to the rest of his side with his energy, competiveness and desire
David Dinkin (S) – scored two, set one up and brilliant hold up play throughout

Rob Blackman (Harmen) - deserves a nomination. Very good performance against his former club. Strong, composed and handled threat of Jordan Marks really well

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

OAKWOOD A
Sam Cantor (S) - simply unplayable. HE will be disappointed he couldn’t complete his hat-trick from the penalty spot but playing as the target man in a three-man attack, Camden couldn’t cope with his pace and movement
Alex Lee (RB) – first start for Oakwood and filled in a right back. Very good performance
Josh Rose (CM) – tenacious and tackled hard throughout
Simon Davies (CB) – helped us out in central defence. Did a brilliant job filling in from his usual central midfield role

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

SPEC FC
Ben Myers (LB) - another great performance from the youngster capping it off with his first goals for the club, including a worldie from distance!
