WEEK THIRTEEN TEAM OF THE WEEK

————————–

GOAL OF THE WEEK NOMINATIONS:

1) ROB SAMUELSON (NORSTAR LONDON RAIDERS B) – A neat give and go between Adam Posner and Andrew McMaster sent Simon Buchler through down the right wing, he squared the ball to Jacob Gold who turned it on to Samuelson, who cut inside the left hand side of the box on to his right foot before curling the ball in to the top corner off the underside of the bar

2) JOEL ISAACS (CATFORD & BROMLEY MACCABI) – Turned two defenders inside out before curling it inside the post with the outside of his right boot.

————————–

SAVE OF THE WEEK NOMINATIONS:

1) GUY BEN AROYA (CATFORD & BROMLEY) – Made an exceptional save to deny a certain goal with their striker through on goal, the ball was going right inside the far corner, but he managed to get the slightest touch on it at full stretch to send it round the post

2) BRAD GRANT (REDBRIDGE JEWISH CARE B) – Produced an acrobatic save to keep out a 20-yard shot

3) TONY HIRSCHSTEIN (TEMPLE FORTUNE ) – Ben Glekin’s header was heading for the bottom corner, until Hirschstein leapt full stretch to turn the ball around the post

————————–

QUOTE OF THE WEEK NOMINATIONS:

1) GABRIEL JOHN (BOCA JEWNIORS) – “It was arguably the scrappiest goal of all time.”

2) JONATHAN ISON (LOS BLANCOS) – “A Blancos and Liverpool win on the same weekend – miracles truly do happen!”

3) ADAM GLEKIN (HENDON UNITED B) – “It was like one of those classic Championship Manager matches where you have 25 shots on goal and the opposition has two and you lose 2-1. 

4) DAVID GARBACZ (HENDON UNITED A) – “Do not be fooled by the 1-0 scoreline – we must have had 25 attempts on goal at least and if we didn’t completely leave our shooting boots at home the score would have been far more emphatic

SUNDAY CHALLENGE CUP LAST 16:

DEES FC 3 NORSTAR LONDON RAIDERS A 1
The Premier Division leaders bowed out of the competition, with Ben Joseph getting on target for the visitors.

Assistant-manager Jonathan Green told jewishnews.co.uk: “Strange to say considering the result, but at time we played some brilliant stuff, especially in the first half. It was one of these situations where it is hard to believe that we didn’t walk off the pitch winning four or five nil. We were totally dominant for nearly the full duration of the match and got caught by clinical sucker punches. We will take some useful lessons away from this game, against a type of opposition we don’t usually face and this allows us to focus on the important business of the top 3 Jewish competitions. It’s never a nice feeling to lose on a Sunday morning but if we had to leave one competition at a relatively early stage this was the one to lose in.

“We will now re-group and get ready for what will be a very tough test against Faithfold on the weekend.”

PETER MORRISON CUP SECOND ROUND (number in brackets represents division of team):

OAKWOOD A (Prem) 6 MACCABI SENIORS 0
The O’s comfortably booked their place in the third round thanks to a hat-trick from Dave Woolman, two strikes from Josh Rose, and Brad Wine’s effort.

Manager Ric Blank told jewishnews.co.uk: “It was as comfortable as the scoreline suggests and in reality we should have scored more. Lions had a strong team out including Alex levack but we had far too much. We now play lions Saturday in the next round which will be a totally different proposition. We hope to have a load of players back for that game who were missing today so it should be a cracker.

CYRIL ANEKSTEIN CUP THIRD ROUND (number in brackets represents division of team):

AC WHETSTONE (2) 1 FC TEAM A (Prem) 3
The hosts gave a good account of themselves, but Team’s Premier Division class saw them through.

David Joseph Cohen, Shim Bensoor and Rocky Spitzer all scored for the visitors, with manager Ben Gilbey telling jewishnews.co.uk: “This weekend it was important to win and get into the next round of the cup. Over the last few years we have been the lower league team going up against premier teams and causing upsets. We needed to make sure that this was not going to be the case against us on the weekend. FC Team did control the game and scored some great goals to achieve victory. However, credit to AC Whetstone, who are a very young team, who gave us a really good game and if they took a few more chances, could have caused us real problems. I have been really impressed with how the boys have been defending as a team, making it very hard for oppositions to get many chances and break us down. We are playing with a good shape and improving week in week out. I hope for this to continue as well as our good form and if it does, FC Team A will no doubt be a force to be feared throughout this season.”

Alex Woffenden scored for Whetstone, for whom joint-manager Clive Nathan told jewishnews.co.uk: “This game was meant to be a comfortable win for FC Team. Apart from five minutes when we lost our discipline, it was anything but comfortable for them. We rested one of our main goal threats in Dan Cohen to ensure we maintained our ethos of giving our whole squad decent game time. Even without him we did enough to get a draw and FC Team will know they have been in a game. Ben Pollins in goal drew acclaim from both sides and Alex Woffenden’s goal was a great header. We have shown in both cups this season that we can match and beat teams from higher leagues which is a great credit to all the boys.

“It was nice to commemorate the Xmas Day truce of 1914 with a photo and the cloying mud of West Hendon was nothing compared to what those brave souls toiled through a century ago.”

His fellow co-manager Anthony Cohen told jewishnews.co.uk: “We lost 3-1 but one was a penalty and another needed goal line technology which surprisingly wasn’t installed at West Hendon playing fields. Ref gave it!”

————————–

BLIZZARD STORM (1) 1 HARMEN (Prem) 2
Two goals from Mike Pearson proved to be the difference as the Premier Division side saw off a stubborn Storm side.

Bradley Cohen scored for Storm against his old club, with player-manager Simon Linden told jewishnews.co.uk: “It was a hard fought battle, very little between the two teams. I can take so many positives from this performance, none of my boys let me down and the discipline and fight was there to be seen.

HENDON UNITED A (Prem) 1 WOODFORD WANDERERS (Prem) 0
The holders booked their place into the next round, with Greg Corin’s strike proving to be the difference.

Manager David Garbacz told jewishnews.co.uk: “Do not be fooled by the 1-0 scoreline – we must have had 25 attempts on goal at least and if we didn’t completely leave our shooting boots at home the score would have been far more emphatic. The one goal we did score was one of the best team goals you are likely to see at this level starting with Russ at the back and switching left, then right before ending off with a typical Greg Corin finish into the back of the net.

“Whilst the game remained 1-0 Woodford were always in it and they did show good spirit, but overall we were very pleased with our performance level today even though we should have scored more. We were heavily depleted today and only had 11 players available, but we have good strength in depth and we are still nicely placed in all competitions.

“We have a big December ahead of us – crucial league and cup games, but the aim is to get players back and take each game as they come and when 2015 comes around we want to be able to say the treble treble is still on.

“Finally, I would like to mention lifelong Hendon fan and good friend Nick Slater who asks me week in week out to mention him so Nick this is for you – cheers for the support mate.”

————————–

SHACHARIT DONETSK (3) 1 MACCABI LONDON LIONS BLUE (Prem) 5
Jamie Kyte’s side had no problems in seeing off the Division Three strugglers as they recorded this emphatic win by putting on this professional performance.

With Kyte absent after popping the question the night before, James Gold took on the job of taking the team, and he saw Dan Green, Connor Perlmutter, Richard Gold and Rick Jacobson fire them into a 4-0 half-time lead.

Shacharit pulled a goal back after the interval as Lions took their foot off the gas, but Gold wrapped things up with their fifth.

Gold told jewishnews.co.uk: “It was a good professional performance, that the team dedicate to Jamie Kyte, who we wish a big mazeltov to after getting engaged. Hopefully, he gets priorities in order and is back in the dugout next week!”

FAITHFOLD A 0 REDBRIDGE JEWISH CARE A 3
Redbridge moved up to second spot in the table as two goals from Steve Summers, along with Daniel Castle’s strike, saw them to the points.

Player-manager Sam Rosenthal told jewishnews.co.uk: “A brilliant away win stops our mini rut and puts us in good shape for the chanukah run in.”

Faithfold manager Zuriel Solomon told jewishnews.co.uk: “I’m disappointed with the result, but the performance was good albeit we are struggling to score goals which is evident.

“Redbridge played well and deserved the win.”

DIVISION ONE:

TABLE
FIXTURES & RESULTS

CAMDEN PARK 1 LOS BLANCOS 2
The Blancos boys moved three places up the table into fourth spot as goals from Joseph Davis and Simon Moses handed Camden a fourth defeat of the season.

Blancos joint-manager Jonathan Ison told jewishnews.co.uk: “A thoroughly well deserved double over Camden, we dominated from start to finish, they mustered a couple of long-range efforts, but otherwise didn’t trouble us. The midfield and forwards worked tirelessly and never gave Camden time to settle on the ball.

“That’s now 10 points out of 12,  and we’re really enjoying our football at the moment. A Blancos and Liverpool win on the same weekend –  miracles truly do happen!”

NORSTAR LONDON RAIDERS B 3 ATHLETIC BILBAUM 2
Raiders remain a point clear at the top of the table as goals from Rob Samuelson, Jacob Gold and David Esterkin saw Jonathan Adelman’s side to the win.
