Another brilliant weekend of grassroots football delivered standout performances across the board. From hat-trick heroes to defensive leaders and game-changing midfield displays, here are this week’s Player of the Week nominees — with one representative per club.
Despite conceding four goals, Kempton produced a truly outstanding performance between the sticks. Pulling off a series of tremendous saves and commanding his area with authority, his vocal leadership and shot-stopping kept Busby in the game far longer than expected. A heroic display under pressure.
An unselfish and tireless attacking display. Mendes created four goals for his teammates, constantly working the channels and causing chaos for defenders. A performance built on effort, intelligence, and creativity.
Deployed in a new role at centre-back, Smart didn’t miss a beat. Calm, aggressive, and assured on the ball, he “strolled” through the game and showcased his versatility with a commanding defensive performance.
A rock at the back for the full 90 minutes, Dooley capped off his performance in dramatic fashion by scoring a last-minute winner with the final kick of the game. Defensive solidity paired with match-winning impact.
An exceptional all-round display from Barr, who bagged a brace, added assists, and took home Man of the Match. A constant attacking threat and creative force — instrumental in everything good his side produced.
Christie set the tone with relentless energy and aggression. Dominating all areas of the pitch, his tenacity and high standards drove his team forward in a powerful midfield performance.
A sensational 10-minute hat-trick says it all. Forrest took complete control of the game, dictating play and delivering a clinical attacking display that left the opposition with no answers.
Simply unstoppable. Back-to-back weeks of scoring six goals is nothing short of remarkable. Kelly’s ruthless finishing and consistency in front of goal make him one of the most in-form strikers around right now.
🔥 Final Word
This week’s nominees highlight the incredible quality and depth across the leagues — from resilient goalkeeping displays to explosive attacking performances. Selecting a winner won’t be easy.
