—————————————————-

GOALKEEPER
David Sacal (Maccabi London Lions A) – The Mexican was brilliant between the sticks, pulling off several fines stops which led to Lions’ dramatic late win

DEFENDERS:
Gideon Caller (RC UK FC) – Played more as a left winger than left-back, was never caught out and was always an outlet
Ashley Hirschberger (Hertswood Vale) – Started the game at RB, putting in some crunching tackles, before moving to centre-back to ensure a second consecutive clean sheet
Alex Taylor (Maccabi London Lions A) – Brilliant at the back for Lions, rock-solid for the Rowley Lane side as they claimed the Cyril Anekstein Cup
Jonti Aremband (RC UK FC) – Brilliant offensive performance at full-back – perfectly illustrated by scoring a hat-trick

MIDFIELDERS:
Josh Gorb (Hertswood Vale) – Vale’s man-of-the-match. A fantastic display from the first-half sub. Scored two well-taken goals, moved back to left-back where he claimed another two assists
Adam Arnold (Maccabi London Lions A) – Brilliant in the middle for the Lions, helped stave off Redbridge attacks, was key to his side’s win at Wingate
Brett Stead (Temple Fortune) – Solid showing in midfield, scored twice in three second half minutes, though it wasn’t enough to prevent his side’s exit from cup
Rob Benson (North London Raiders B) – Scored and put in a superb cross to grab an assist for Jake Gilbert’s goal as Raiders claimed thrilling win

STRIKERS:
Harry Graham (Hertswood Vale) – Took his tally to nine goals in ten games and was unlucky not to grab a hat-trick when he hit the woodwork late on
Paul Lenchner (NL Raiders Masters) – Playing for the side as a guest – and made his impact, getting on the scoresheet to help his adopted team into the semi-finals
