—————————————————-
GOALKEEPER
Simon Leslie (Scrabble) – In his late 40’s, became the oldest player to represent Scrabble having replaced Adam Solomons, and didn’t put a foot wrong
DEFENCE
Sammy Kingston (Maccabi London Lions B) – Ran up and down the pitch the whole game, got two assists and scored a worldie to boot.
Adam Speck (Blizzard Storm) – Brilliant at the centre of the Storm defence, organised everyone brilliantly as they superbly marshalled the Raiders’ frontline
Alex Taylor (Harmen) – Had two different defensive partners throughout the game but slotted in alongside each of them and won every challenge that he went in for.
Darren Brown (Redbridge A) – Marshalling the team at the back, scored a bullet of a header and all this in the week he gets married!
MIDFIELD:
Sam Monjack (Brady Maccabi) – Bossed the midfield from start to finish and ended the day with a hat-trick and two assists – simply unplayable at times
Sam Reeves (Faithfold B) – Brilliant performance at the heart of the park, which included scoring two stunning free-kicks
Jon Breger (FC Team B) – Team’s captain fantastic, was the heartbeat of the team and capped off performance with two goals
Ben Sollosi (Redbridge A) – Played in an unfamiliar holding midfield role and was magnificent and serene, be it breaking up play, spreading the ball wide or driving the team on
ATTACK:
Josh Newman (Brady Maccabi) – Turned in a classy performance with a top-quality hat-trick
Dovi Fehler (Hendon United A) – Looks like scoring every time he’s within 20 yards of the goal – simply unstoppable at the moment

Sam Monjack (Brady Maccabi)
MANAGER OF THE WEEK:
Jon Jacobs (Redbridge A)

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.
