PETER MORRISON TROPHY ROUND ONE

CATFORD & BROMLEY MACCABI vs NORTH LONDON RAIDERS C
Sunday cannot come soon enough for a Catford & Bromley team smarting from their first defeat of the season.

Manager Jeff Gotch has had time to reflect on exactly what went wrong in the 2-1 loss at Faithfold. Jamie Sinai’s goal was one of the few positives to come out of a game they finished with 10 men and he will remind his players of their responsibilities and the importance of maintaining discipline for 90 minutes ahead of the NLR games.

The Cats are almost at full-strength, with Jordan Grant the only regular missing.

Raiders warmed-up for the tie with a comfortable win over Hertswood Vale, courtesy of a double from Nick Haringman and another from Rob Samuelson – a player who is really showing his quality on a regular basis.

Managers Sam Rose and David Domb were particularly pleased by the performances of Eyal Samovich – who was rewarded with a place in JC Team of the Week.

They were also pleased by the manner of the performance as they overcame determined opposition and a testing surface.
Catford have won both their home games this season, but NLR will pose a totally different challenge and it wouldn’t surprise me if the visitors do a job on them.

Venue – Christs College, Ref – Luke Steele, KO – 10am

JC star man: Eyal Samovich (NLR)

DC Prediction: Catford 2 NLR 3

FAITHFOLD A vs L’EQUIPE
Lesser teams would have struggled to get a 9-0 thumping by the MGBSFL champions out of their system so quickly, but not L’Equipe.

Nick Stern’s boys showed excellent powers of recovery as they returned to winning ways against Mill Hills Dons with James Mandell producing arguably his finest display in a L’Equipe shirt.

It was a performance that ticked all the boxes and they have nothing to lose when they travel to first division Faithfold on Sunday.

Stern told JC Sport: “We have another tough match-up but we are on grass which has led to our strongest performances of the season.

"Our no.1 returns from Israel but there are a number of niggling injuries and long-term absentees yet to return to training.

"We are able to absorb these set-backs with a registered squad that now totals 28 high quality players after welcoming Mitch Green from Los Blancos this week. My scouts tell me he provides us with a strong and powerful presence up front.

"The match-day squad has not yet been finalised so time will tell whether he will be making his debut this week.

"As usual, we expect a victory but certainly hard fought one."

Not much has gone right for Faithfold since their opening day defeat. Three league defeats have put them on the back-foot and L’Equipe pose a real banana skin they could do without right now.

The addition of Green will give L’Equipe another dimension and if they play to their strengths in get into Faithfold’s faces, I can see them springing an upset.

Ref – Paul Gelernter, KO – 10am

JC star man: Mitch Green (L’Equipe)

DC Prediction: Faithfold 2 L’Equipe 3
