NOMINATIONS

REDBRIDGE JEWISH CARE C
Nathan Mehlman (GK) - on his debut the 16-year-old keeper was excellent pulling off some wonderful saves, especially on a free-kick pushing the ball off the post which rebounded back onto his head and back out of touch for a corner. I'm sure the lions boys would agree!
Matt Zartz (RWB) - brilliant challenges and effort as right wing back

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

REDBRIDGE JEWISH CARE B
Richie Caplin - LB/RB came on and got the RJC team flowing better

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

FAITHFOLD B
Rafael Meyers (LB) - 17-year-old left-back worked non-stop, put in strong tackles, matched their wingers and even grabbed the important cushion goal at the end

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

OAKWOOD B
Jacob Richler Kleiman (F) - back on the scoresheet with a hat-trick
James Abrams (M) - at his roaming and mercurial best today, James. Passes the ball so well and gets better with age. A fine performance
Rafi Bloom (F): Worked very hard and took his goal well with a nice left-foot finish
Ilan Scorah (D) - having a real renaissance and has been a bright spark this season. Good 90-minute shift today. At one stage embarked on a 50-yard run, past two men, one on one with the keeper .... and blazed it over. 10/10 for trying
Sam Modlin (F) - first start for Oakwood after two goals in two from the bench. Got a few assists today and played well

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

MACCABI LONDON LIONS B
Dom Feldman (CM) - outstanding performance linking the play from the midfield to the attack, gliding past players with ease and causing all sorts of problems for the Catford defence
Josh Bloom (S) - clinical as ever, scoring a hat-trick, one an extremely cute lob over the keeper

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

RCUK FC
Avi Mocton (CM) - MOTM against Brixton. He was hard in the tackle but sprayed the ball around beautifully too, bossing the midfield and driving through the middle, reminiscent of Patrick Viera in his hay day
Aaron Luftig (S) - came on for the final 25 to play a little higher up the pitch than he is used to, made a nuisance of himself and and scored with two excellent finishes

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

FINCHLEY CITY FC
Oliver Sade (S) - hat-trick hero - scored one of the most outrageous goals we have ever seen and a joy to watch
Josh Kanter (RB) - most composed display. Technically superb and defensively disciplined
Gav Kreiger (CB) Best CB in division 1 (although his CB partner Gurvitz will have a lot to say about that) An absolute colossus at the back

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

SCRABBLE FC
Josh Bharier (CM) - his powerful running and tackling caused Raiders enormous problems the whole game ending with three Raiders players bundling him over for Scrabble's penalty winner
Rob Blackman (S) - leading the line for the first time this season in Danny Sherman's absence his constant unselfish running and bringing others into play was unplayable for The Raiders back four
Andy Cohen (FB) - played at times in both full-back positions and didn't put a foot wrong throughout the game
Dan Green (CM) - on as a second-half substitute he added steel to the Scrabble midfield and wore Raiders down with his blocking tackles.Scored a fantastic long-range goal

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

HENDON UNITED SPORTS CLUB A
Josh Harris (S) - nicely taken goal and excellent all-round centre forward display

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

NORTH LONDON RAIDERS A
David Cohen (S) - caused the L'Equipe defence a torrid time from the first minute. Scored two and was involved in several others

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

NORTH LONDON RAIDERS B
Nicky Woolf (S) - two outstanding long-range finishes against Scrabble

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

CAMDEN PARK
David Khalastchi (CM) - immense performance from David. He covered every blade of (artificial) grass, the engine of our team. He was brilliant both on and off the ball. The level of determination and commitment he displays week in week out is invaluable. I would love to have 11 Davids in my team. Man of the match
Michael Khalastchi (CB) - Michael was back to his best. A towering performance, winning every header and not giving Oakwood's strikers a sniff of a chance. When Michael plays like he did today, he has to be one of the best CBs in the league
Jake Saunders (M) - Jake, usually one of our most creative flair players, has had better games on the ball. However, it was his defensive performance today which was so important to the team. Combined with the efforts of David Khalastchi, Rick Harris and Sacha Nussenbaum, we more than matched a very physical Oakwood midfield.
Steven Murad (GK) - a very composed and dominant performance from our keeper today who really has started the season well. Also saved a penalty in the shoot out giving Jake the chance to send us to the next round

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

LOS BLANCOS
Joel Barnett (D) - for his all-round defensive master-class against Hendon
Adam Hersh (S) - for being a menace up top and bagging two goals
