BRADY MACCABI A
Michael Kenley (S) – could have nicked the winner after a mazy run - if it wasn’t for a last-ditch tackle - but capped a great performance with a goal on his debut; and it is not often you see someone cause alex levack the amount of problems that Kenley did
-------------------------
L'EQUIPE
Gideon Chain (RW) - had to play at right wing this week and was up and down non-stop with the fitness and speed of Usain Bolt on steroids! Constantly involved in the game and delivered a number of pinpoint crosses. Tirelessly working for the team and showed he is a very versatile player

REFEREE NOMINATION (from FC Team B)
Jon Nitka – let the inter-club derby against FC Team C flow and helped to make it a thoroughly entertaining game

Scott Kay (CB) - kept the normally free-scoring Shirley Park at arm's-length
Danny Sherman (CM) - unsung hero, once he and Josh Gilbery gained control of the midfield 15 minutes in never let go. The tied turned slightly when he suffered an injury with just over 10 minutes remaining
