DANIEL CORDELL (L'Equipe) - “stand-in keeper saved a penalty, blocked two one-on-ones and dealt with every cross that came in. A masterful performance for our usual centre midfielder and I just can’t praise his efforts enough” CAMERON MOST (London Maccabi Lions A) - near faultless display at the back against Raiders A JAMIE FREED (Norstar A) - “man-of-the-match against Woodford- neutralised the threat of the Woodford winger keeping him in his pocket for the full 90 minutes” OLLIE KAY (Brady Maccabi B) - great performance from the defensive stopper. Nothing got past him in the second half GARY CONWAY (Jewventus) - “who did not put a foot wrong over 90 ins, a great centre back performance” against Raiders C DAVID POWELL (Catford & Bromley Maccabi) - “tenacious tackling, tireless running and covered every blade of grass, and chipped in with two superbly taken goals from centre midfield. His energy is something that we've missed this season and we're thrilled to have him back” BEN LAUFFER (Hendon A) - “showed enormous class in central midfield” in the win over Faithfold A RICARDO ENGLEMAN (NW Neasden B) - one of the finds of the season put in the complete performance capped off with three goals from midfield against Temple Fortune ANTHONY KINTISH (Oakwood) - two-goal hero in the cup win over Chigwell that took the Oaks into the last four of the Morrison. One of his goals was straight out of the top-drawer JONATHAN GREEN (Brady Maccabi A) - outstanding. Despite not scoring, his work-rate was incredible and through that hard work he created two goals. Played the perfect No.10 role ADAM BOLLE (Redbridge Jewish Care A) ) - a chip off the old block. In a bad week for the team, Bolle was at his brilliant best with a hat-trick against FC Team JC PLAYER OF THE WEEK Jonathan Green (Brady Maccabi A) JC MANAGER OF THE WEEK Joel Nathan (Brady Maccabi A) JC REFEREE OF THE WEEK David Lazarus (Glenthorne United B vs Los Blancos) DANNY CARO'S MSFL PREM DIV TEAM OF THE WEEK DANNY CARO'S MSFL DIV ONE TEAM OF THE WEEK ------------------------------------------------------ NOMINATIONS GK - Sam Castle (LM Lions A), Bradley Grant (Glenthorne Utd A), Jerome Colmans (Brady B), David Fox (NW Neasden A), Ben De La Fuente (Norstar A), Daniel Cordell (L'Equipe) Defenders - Josh Lipman (Hendon A), Rob Blackman, Ed Weisz, Sam Franks, James Lee (all Brixton A), Aviel Schwarz (LM Lions A), James Wright (Team JLGB), Gary Conway (Jewventus), Jake Barnett, Jack Wagner (both Athletico Finchley), Joe Grant, Gary Tiller (both Glenthorne Utd A), Ollie Kay, Ben Hildebrand (both Brady B), Adam Redhouse (Shirley Park), Jamie Freed (Norstar A), Jonny Ellis (Brady A) Midfielders - Ben Lauffer (Hendon A), John Weisz, James Kaye (both Brixton A), Aron Lewis (NW Neasden C), Josh Newman (LM Lions A), Josh Hershman (Brady A), Ricky Engleman (NW Neasden B), Daniel Mattey (Athletico Finchley), David Powell, Rafi Marom (both Catford & Bromley Maccabi), Michael Beaber, Daniel Harrod (both Brady B), Jonathan Peters (Norstar A), Mark Singer (L'Equipe) Strikers - Adam Bolle (Redbridge JC A), Simon Lindall, Alon Hershkorn (both Brixton A), Craig Sandford (Glenthorne Utd B), James Gold (LM Lions B), Ashley Stokes (Catford & Bromley Maccabi), Jon Green (Brady A) Manager - Joel Nathan (Brady A), Josh Dagul (Brady B), David Prager (L'Equipe) Referee - David Lazarus (Glenthorne United B vs Los Blancos), Stephen Levy (North London Raiders A vs London Maccabi Lions A), Nigel Burns (London Maccabi Lions B vs Norstar B)

Redbridge thrown out of Peter Morrison Trophy (Tue, 21 Feb 2012)
Redbridge Jewish Care A have been thrown out of this season's Peter Morrison Trophy after they were found guilty of fielding an ineligible player in the quarter-final against Hendon United Sports Club A. RJC have 14 days to appeal. Hendon have been reinstated into the competition. The National Football Committee heard the appeal on Monday night from RJC in Edgware. A statement from the NFC said: "Under rule 8(d), Redbridge Jewish Care A were found to have played an ineligible player in their game against Hendon A on January 29, 2012 and the decision of the disciplinary hearing committee was to award the game to Hendon United A." It remains to be seen whether or not RJC will appeal. Following the decision, the club made the following statement: "The Management Committee of Redbridge have received the decision from the Peter Morrison appeal hearing and are extremely saddened by its findings. "We are guilty of an administrative error only which we have openly acknowledged, but do not accept that we played an ineligible player . "We are now looking at our options, not least of which is an appeal to the FA." In the meantime, Hendon have been reinstated into the competition, meaning the treble is back on. Hendon manager David Garbacz said: "I wouldn't like to be in the shoes of the person responsible for making the decision to play the ineligible player – his cornflakes can’t be tasting all that great this morning. "They had no need to do it as they had more than enough players on the day. "I don't think the committee had any option but to expel Redbridge as they knew exactly what they were doing even to the extent that the player involved gave the wrong name to the ref when he got booked. "I feel sorry for the Redbridge players and staff who were not involved, but to be perfectly honest we won’t be shedding too many tears. "It has given us an unexpected lifeline which we will be going all out to make the most of – the treble is back on and all the boys are raring to go."
