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

NOMINEES

NORSTAR LONDON RAIDERS A
JJ Spiro (CB) - was ill in bed in the lead up to the game but came out and expertly handled any Redbridge threat. He was our best player in pre season and he has carried that form into the season.
Ben joseph (CM) and Liron Mannie (CM) - I wouldn't swap these two for any other players in the league. They dominated the midfield, both being strong defensively and crucially excellent at driving us forward time and time again.
David Dinkin (S) - didn't get on the scoresheet but set up 2 goals and his ability to bring in others to the game was a big reason for our win.

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

BLIZZARD STORM
Matthew Jaffa (D) - the experience Blizzard boy put in a good solid performance
Oli Henry (CM) - big influence on the game, bossed it and scored two crackers
David cohen (RM) - hard-working on the right side of the midfield

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

LONDON ROVERS
Dan Ezra (RM) - two fantastic finishes, with the second taking it round the keeper with such composure
Yaakov Goldin (GK) - made a couple of outstanding saves, held on to every ball and just never looked like being beaten. On a day where Rovers weren't at their best he was definitely a big reason for keeping a second clean sheet in a row

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

MACCABI LONDON LIONS BLUE
Harry Franks (RM) - popped up to get two and will no doubt be fantastic all season
Sam Lipton (LB) - the youngster was class for the whole game against NWN

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

NORSTAR LONDON RAIDERS C
Oli Nathan (CM) - the forever reliable midfielder was at his best once more. L'Equipe found it difficult to handle his all-round display in the middle of the park, and got a deserved goal for his efforts
Josh Bloom (S) - his constant movement and trickery was too much for the opposition throughout, capped off with a sublime double to make it three goals in two games

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

ATHLETIC BILBAUM
Julius Judah (S) - player-manager scored a hat-trick on his season debut - finishing off the day with a delightful chip
Josh Flax (RB) - solid, rRefusing to let Brady make a cross and pulling off some great tackles

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

NORTH WEST NEASDEN
Ben Chernoff (S) - MOM against Lions Blue - two tremendous goals and a threat throughout
Rick Harris (M) - fantastic attitude, great range of passes and, at the age of 45, covered every blade of grass to put tackle after tackle
Dan Andrews (RB) - called in late last night, came in at right-back had one assist and was a rock in a makeshift team, first game great attitude

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

HARMEN
Sam Castle (CB) - seems to have settled comfortable into his new position having previously played as goalkeeper and striker and he led the line well
Harry Fine (GK) - distribution seemed to be on point today and his two spectacular saves were a lift to the whole team
James Gershfield (S) - strong as an ox and brings others around him into play very well. There's always a chance of him scoring when the opportunities present themselves

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

REDBRIDGE JEWISH CARE B
Sam Sollosi (M) - a central midfield master class you would pay to see
Richard Gold (CB) - in his last game before going off to University, Richard was switched to CB and was faultless
Daniel Garfinkle (S) - first two goals of the season for our new forward were both taken with aplomb

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

SPEC FC
Elliott Wallis (Winger) - a constant threat for the Brixton defence. He had a hand in three of the goals (scoring one) and had one ruled out for offside

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

AC MILL HILL
Joel Lassman (M) - outstanding midfield display against Bilbaum

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

BOCA JEWNIORS
Anton Nyman (CB) - played exceptionally under constant pressure
