JEWDINESE

Jake Yudelowitz (CB) - made his debut for the club. Superb at the back
Harley Patoff (CB) - impressed on his first appearance for the club. Another superb addition to the side

David Ronson (CM) - impressive debut in the centre of midfield, battled all game. Won every header and scored a 35-yard screamer

SHIRLEY PARK
Rob Abrahams (GK) - after committing to Park between the sticks for the season, the former semi pro (Potters Bar and Hoddesdon Town) man was outstanding and commanded in the box, a great addition to the Park life crew

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

NORSTAR LONDON RAIDERS A
Jake Doffman (GK) – outstanding debut performance; aside from a fantastic penalty save, he exuded confidence and the clean sheet was never in doubt
Josh Morris (RB) – stand-out performer amongst the outfield players; strong in the tackle, a constant threat down the right hand side and stopped Lions getting anywhere near the goal
Ethan Zone (LW) – having played predominately for the B-team last season, Ethan showed that he was more than capable of making the step up with an accomplished performance on the left wing that included an assist for the own goal and a fine finish of his own
