Jewish News junior review – week twenty one
Sunday afternoon saw the latest round of action played in the Jewish News Maccabi Junior Football…
Brady Maccabi booked their place in the final of the Minor Cup after they beat Alyth Belsize Black 3-2 on penalties, after the sides played out a 3-3 draw.
In Division One, the Hendon inter-club match between the Reds and Blues ended in a 2-2 draw, meaning the Blues are now two points off top spot.
In Division Two, Hendon United White consolidated third spot thanks to a 2-1 win over HMH Tel Aviv.
NWLJ are two points behind them following a 2-1 win over HMH Eilat.
In what was the proverbial game of two halves, HMH had gone into the break 1-0 up thanks to an unstoppable volley. However, in a fantastic turnaround for the Jets, Raphael Moses drew the sides level, and with just 90 seconds of the match remaining, Sam Ucko pounced on hesitant defending to claim the win.
Jets player ratings:
Eppel 8, Hart 8, Itzkovitch 8, Feingold 9, Radley 8, Weil 8, Wreschner 9, Ucko 8, Moses 8

U10
Hendon United White moved three points clear at the top of the Division One table thanks to a 5-2 win over HMH Eilat.
Zack Mason and Ben Corney scored two each, with Gabriel Samson also on target.
In what was a tightly fought contest between two hungry teams, it was the wind which was the real winner.
Eilat began strongly and dominated the first half with the score line tied at 1-1 at half-time. The second half was more evenly contested with an early exchange of goals taking the score to 3-2 in favour of HIS White, before they managed to take control towards the end of the game with two further goals to seal the victory.

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
