—————————————————-
GOALKEEPER
Grant Waissel (Norstar London Raiders C) – A fourth clean sheet of the season, and although he didn’t have a lot of saves to make, he organised the defensive unit well from between the sticks
DEFENCE
Simon Bagel (SPEC) – Returned after a lengthy time out through injury and produced an excellent display
Jonny Samuel (Norstar London Raiders C) – Made some excellent tackles and lead by example, a true captain’s performance
Ben Grabiner (AC Mill Hill) – Outstanding at the heart of the Mill Hill defence and capped off wonderful performance by getting on the scoresheet
Gideon Chain (L’Equipe) – Part of an outstanding defence, with Chain highlighted as being ‘phenomenal’ by his manager
MIDFIELD:
Jonny Harris (London Haroldeans) – Superb for Haroldeans, controlled midfield, giving as good as he got against promotion-seeking Storm
David Rose (London Maccabi Lions Blue) – Put a man-of-the-match performance as he starred for the Lions in the centre of the park
Guy Marks (Camden Park) – Found the end product to match his fantastic dribbling, popped up with a much-needed last minute winner; emerging as a real candidate for player of the season.
Dave Sawyer (Temple Fortune) – Was outstanding in the heart of midfield for Fortune, didn’t lose a single header or tackle
ATTACK:
Josh Newman (Brady Maccabi B) – May not have been on the winning side, but was in imperious form as he grabbed a hat-trick in thrilling 3-3 draw
Zack Rich (Temple Fortune) – Playing the lone striker role, Fortune’s man-of-the-match was a real handful for 90 minutes, and a constant threat the Jewdinese back four
PLAYER OF THE WEEK:
Dave Sawyer (Temple Fortune)
MANAGER OF THE WEEK:

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.
