Fairlop do it Ryan’s way
Emergency goalkeeper Ryan Cole rescued Fairlop’s cup ambitions with two penalty saves in the shoot-out win over first division rivals Los Camden. The tie finished 1-1 after 90 minutes, with a wonder strike from Camden’s Louis Couque cancelled out in stoppage time by Fairlop’s James Jaconelli. Fairlop’s Jake Sanders said: “We were far from our best. In truth, we haven’t been good for a while, but that’s six consecutive victories, which is a good sign. The boys never stopped trying, and massive credit to Ryan who played in goal as our first three goalkeepers were all ruled out through injury.” Los Camden’s Richard Hayim reflected on “a hard-fought battle in which our back four were superb throughout and the midfield and strikers worked tirelessly until the very end”. Hayim commented: “Goalkeeper, Gideon Rabstein, was terrific today in his final game for us, commanding, confident and he made a string of great saves to keep us in it.”
FAITHFOLD DOC MM B 0 REDBRIDGE JEWISH CARE A 3
Nate Kashket continued his excellent start to the season, scoring all three goals in the victory over Division Two tabletoppers Faithfold B. Sam Rank admitted his RJC team “were not at the races in the first half, but once the boys upped the game it was very easy and pleasing for all too see.” Faithfold’s Doron Shooter expressed “pride” about his team’s performance, and said: “We played against a Redbridge side who are having a wonderful season and are sitting at the top of Division One. In my opinion we matched them for most of the game, despite having many first-team regulars missing. Had it not been for a few individual errors, I don’t believe they would have scored, so we can be proud of the work that we put in.”
