With another cracking BEFC team display to vanquish Zion FC 1 - 0 in the dying minutes of the game the MOM award was debated in depth over a celebratory jug of victory beer. The match was truly intense and the number of MOM nominations put forward just showed the level of performance being put out by the squad. However there can only be one Adecco BEFC Man of the Match. The defence received a lot of plaudits in this contest, for the resolute repelling of a determined and relentless Zion attack. But without vital reaction saves from the former Reading Utd Under 10s goalkeeper, BEFC would've been behind long before they got to sink Zion with that slick full pitch 5 touch counter attack. Standing in for BEFC's extreme lack of goalkeeper problem, and (maybe foolishly) admitting to have been on the lash the night before, Arjun Bapat pulled out repeated impressive stops and gave the defence a level of comfort knowing a shield of steel was behind them. Upholding the esteem reputation of Reading Utd's youth academy and shutting out Zion FC Arjun Bapat is the Adecco BEFC Man of the Match.
