Another full GCFA card done — and once again the nominations reflect exactly what this league is.
A historic, competitive and thriving Saturday morning setup, where every week brings performances that matter. One player per club, each one put forward for impact, responsibility, and the moments that helped decide games.
This is the clubs’ view of who stood out: impact moments, responsibility, and the work that decided games.
Hugh Dunnit’s Team of the Week to follow.
Goalkeepers
Big saves, big moments. The last line — and this week, the difference.
Antou swept up well, organised the defence superbly and played out from the back well with a mix of long and short. Very solid performance.
Simba played very well throughout the 90 minutes and produced a few decent stops.
Jack was hugely important to the team and is right at the top of his game at the moment.
Jambo stepped up and played in goals for us as we had no keeper at the weekend. He was tremendous and helped us massively on our way to victory
Defenders
Position first, win your battles. Stop the game before it becomes a problem.
Commanding from Ped on Saturday. Tidied up at the back and drove us forward time after time.
Luke was outstanding at the weekend. It was his first start in a while, but he looked completely at ease — calm, composed on the ball, and in full control. He even topped it off with a goal and a well-deserved Man of the Match performance.
Shaun was solid throughout the 90 minutes providing numerous crucial tackles and interceptions.
Another excellent display from Gabe, whose performance deserves recognition.
Barnsey was instrumental in getting a clean sheet and had another top performance
Sam is one of Burnhill’s most improved players has grown and grown into his CB role and now looks well at home. Solid throughout and key to our clean sheet
Sammy was on top form again on Saturday and has been for the past few weeks now. He just keeps improving week by week and has really developed into a proper old-fashioned defender. He clears his lines when it matters and is always vocal on the pitch. He’s been nothing short of brilliant, and the improvement in his game has been phenomenal.
Arsalan was a rock at the back winning headers and challenges, and leading the defence, scored a goal that was wrongly chopped off.
centre defender is unspectacular but has been really solid lately. Another excellent shift.
Davie was solid all game long and really gave the Busby attackers a hard time.
Connor had a cracking game at the weekend, scoring a brilliant solo goal — picking the ball up in his own half, skipping past a few players with a darting run, and calmly slotting it into the corner. He’s a real talent and an absolute rock in our defence.
solid performance again from Phil leading the line and leading by example.
An absolute rock for us in recent weeks, brings a real leadership and experience to our side. Twice in as many weeks he’s been jus beat for MOTM, tactical voting will need to start soon 🤣
Luke has been in an unfamiliar full back role and has been doing great there and had another good performance.
Kevin provided an assured defensive display and also showed a real captains performance.
solid all round display and managed to get himself on the score sheet too
Max was in an unusual position and he played absaloutly superb for the club.
Midfielders
Set the tempo, do the work, make things happen. The link between everything.
new role for Max and looked a natural, plenty of energy and quality play throughout. Key to Burnhill’s win.
Another week another MOTM performance, controlled the game and always a threat in the final third
The GCR midfielder produced one of his best performances of the season. He was absolutely solid in the heart of that midfield battle area.
Sean was superb all game long. The dynamic midfielder really drove the team on with his performance.
asked to move into a central defensive role and didn’t break sweat and a clean sheet was the reward.
2 fantastic goals for the captain in saturday and he battled away brilliantly.
Composed in midfield and some pinpoint passes to set our wide men away. Set up our excellent 2nd goal.
Baker controlled the midfield, breaking up attacks and controlling the midfield.
The Nethercraigs centre mid was everywhere did a great job in the defensive mid role mopping everything up
Not everything clicked straight away but as usual, Connor came up with thr goods. Gave the full back a torrid time and scored a crucial 3rd goal.
first start after recently joining us, carried the ball well and has frightening feet
Lennon scored a fantastic goal and provided a superb assist. The winger provided effortless running throughout the game.
Forwards
Chances taken, pressure applied. The ones who turn games.
Gaz proved the difference on Saturday with two well taken goals. A volley from a rebound off the bar and a near post finish from a tight angle
Ben scored 2 great goals and provided a superb assist. The attacker was top drawer today.
Casa was his energetic self. Putting their defence through the wringer and not giving them a minute. Bagged a goal as well.
Double, 2nd was cracking finish! Ever our talisman was sharp at the weekend. MOTM
Vinny worked extremely hard and bounced back after having a somewhat poor performance last week. Getting himself back on the scoresheet although all credit goes to Brandon for both goals.
goal and all round play earned him well earned MOTM on his debut.
No noise, no overcomplication — just recognition.
Week after week, this league shows why it’s historic, competitive, and still setting standards now. Different clubs, different moments, same demand — deliver for your team.
That’s the level
