————————–
SOUTHGATE HARMEN (1) 1 HENDON UNITED A (Prem) 2
Goals from Greg Corin and Yoav Kestenbaum saw Hendon into the next round, as they battled past Harmen.
Manager David Garbacz told jewishnews.co.uk: “Enormous credit should go to both teams for pulling out all the stops in order to get this game played. We suddenly found ourselves down to the bare bones today as Ari Last, Josh Lipman, Rafi Kon and Ari Nevies all pulled out at the last minute. This left us with a very youthful team and we knew it would not be too pretty. Our objective was to get the job done come what May and we were well tested by a very determined Harmen side.
“The weather was freezing but the conditions were good and whilst we certainly were not at our best we managed to get the win . At one stage I think only Russell Corin in goal was playing in his natural position such were our problems but thankfully we got over the line . Despite the score line I was never overly worried – I was just praying it wouldn’t go into extra time as I think my toes would have froze off.
“We scored two great goals today with moments of class from Greg and Yoav Kestenbaum and ultimately that proved the difference . We look forward to the next round.”
————————–
WOODFORD WANDERERS (1) 1 FC TEAM A (Prem) 3
Woodford failed to continue their giant-killing slaying as FC Team showed their Premier Division class.
Marc Harris returned from a long-term injury to claim two goals, with Adam Rones also on target. Player-manager Mitch Young told jewishnews.co.uk: “A good battling performance against a talented Woodford side.
“We missed a shed load of easy chances to kill the game earlier, but overall I’m pleased to progress to the next round in what could have been a real banana skin. I was delighted with the attitude of my players and we scored some lovely goals. I am looking forward to the reminder of the season.”
Harrison Midda scored for Woodford, for whom manager Tony Charles told jewishnews.co.uk: “A poor performance from Woodford today and possibly the last for some players.”

SEASON PREVIEW
FIXTURES & RESULTS
BRADY MACCABI A 3 LONDON MACCABI LIONS BLUE 1
Brady moved up into second spot – and 11 points behind the leaders with a game in hand – after they beat the Lions at the Lane.
Michael Kenley scored twice, with Adam Arnold also on target. Brady manager Joel Nathan told jewishnews.co.uk: “A convincing win when we were never in danger as we controlled the match from the first whistle till the last. If anything I’m disappointed we didn’t finish the game off earlier, but we were not clinical enough and made things nervy when there was no need. But a win is a win and as I said last time, the aim now is to remain unbeaten in the league till end of season.”
Lions player-manager Jamie Kyte scored for the visitors, and told jewishnews.co.uk: “We played a very young Brady team today who had a very strong midfield. When they have to play us at home I’m sure it’ll be a different matter.”

REDBRIDGE JEWISH CARE A 3 CAMDEN PARK 0
Two goals from Adam Stolerman, along with a strike from Daniel Berg, saw a comfortable win for Sam Rosenthal’s men – a victory which sees them move to within 12 points of the leaders Norstar, but with three games in hand.
Rosenthal told jewishnews.co.uk: “On a poor pitch we were excellent and looked sharp after a good winter break. Stollerman scored a worldy and Bergy’s goal was a perfect team effort. Hot chocolate at half-time helped and I’m not sure Camden really fancied a cold January day out in Essex.
“Look forward to Chigwell next week in the Cup.”

SEASON PREVIEW
FIXTURES & RESULTS
OAKWOOD B 1 NORSTAR LONDON RAIDERS B 2
Jonathan Adelman’s side made it 12 wins from 14 games as they moved eight points clear at the top of the table thanks to goals from Andrew McMaster and David Esterkin.
Adelman told jewishnews.co.uk: “You know what you’re going to get when you play Oakwood but we came ready to roll our sleeves up and get muddy for the win!
“We created so many chances and on another day we could have been out of sight long before they pulled one back. Credit to Ian and his lads, they never let up and could have nicked a draw at the end. Overall we were more than value for the win with all 14 lads putting in a good shift. As we get to the business end of the season we seem to be growing in stature which bodes well for the title run in.”
Josh Marlow pulled one back for Oakwood with 10 minutes remaining, and they nearly scored a late equaliser with the final move of the game, but Richard Bloom cleared off his own line for the Raiders.

SEASON PREVIEW
FIXTURES & RESULTS
KING CROWN 3 TEMPLE FORTUNE 3
Both sides had to settle for a share of the points as Fortune stay rooted to the foot of the table.
Yoel Deal, Benji Greenblatt and Josh Karpf scored for Crown, with manager Jacob Kadoch telling jewishnews.co.uk: “We were caught cold in the first five minutes, before turning it around to go into the break 2-1 up – even though we should have been 5-1 up – and that’s no exaggeration!
“The pitch was very bad in the second half and that benefitted them. They scored twice from two awful pieces of defending from us at set pieces. Josh levelled it with five minutes remaining, and Benji could have won it at the end.”
Gideon Wetrin, Zack Rich and Rob Jay all scored for Fortune -the first time this season that the team had scored more than one goal in a league match!
Manager Jonathan Cohen told jewishnews.co.uk: “We were gutted to concede the late equaliser but on the balance of play KC deserved a point. As good as they were in the first half we dominated the second half chances and only 2 goal line clearances from KC stopped us from putting the game to bed. Really happy to score some goals and rack up our first points for some time. We really looked like a team and although we conceded 3 goals I thought we defended excellently on a difficult pitch.”
