TOP 5 PLAYERS OF THE WEEK
Every week brings big performances, but these seven players rose above the rest with match-winning moments, leadership, and quality when it mattered most.
1. Kyle MacDonald (Westhill United) – STR
A hat-trick hero and this week’s standout performer. Carrying an early knock but still battling through the full match, Kyle delivered a ruthless striker’s display and proved the difference-maker for his side. Clinical, determined, and unstoppable.
2. Smart Osadolor (Park Sports Project) – STR
A striker performance packed with brilliance. Smart was superb all game, but his outrageous wonder goal from almost the halfway line made him one of the easiest picks of the week. Pure quality.
3. Matt Gunn (Rosebank United) – GK/DEF
From injured substitute to emergency goalkeeper, Matt’s contribution was extraordinary. Called upon in a crisis, he stepped up with crucial saves and helped secure a deserved point. A true example of commitment and versatility.
4. Jacob Kennedy (Corinthians) – MID
Two goals, creativity, and relentless attacking quality. Jacob was at the heart of everything dangerous for Corinthians and delivered a complete midfield masterclass.
5. Kieran Irwin (Lokomotiv) – STR
Defenders couldn’t live with him. His hold-up play caused problems all game, and his brace capped off a dominant centre-forward performance full of intelligence and strength.
