Alongside the GCFA Squad of the Week, we also run Hugh Dunnit’s Team of the Week — a separate feature with a different focus.

The Squad of the Week reflects club nominations and recognises standout performances across the leagues. Hugh Dunnit’s Team of the Week is a tighter call: one XI, picked purely on impact and moments that changed games.

You can view Hugh Dunnit’s Team of the Week here:

Hugh Dunnit’s Team of the Week — Impact at the Sharp End with a 4-3-3

Before getting into this week’s selections, a quick word of thanks. Once again, clubs across the GCFA have backed this feature week in, week out — sending nominations, sharing details, and taking the time to highlight their own players. That support is what keeps this running.

It’s also why the GCFA continues to stand out as the best Saturday morning league around. Not because of noise or numbers, but because of the standards on the pitch and the people behind the teams who care enough to put players forward and recognise performances properly.

As one of the founders of the Corinthians, he has managed the team for 3 years, winning 2 leagues and runners up in a cup, as well as playing in goals.
