Marshside for the second week running were involved in a high-scoring draw where they equalised with the last action of the match, drawing 4-4 with Brady Maccabi B. Trailing four times through four superb long-range strikes by Scott Ansher, equalisers from Darren Coon, Gill Barrel, Jason Rich and a last-gasp bullet header from Coon from a corner resulted in a share of the spoils. The result means Marshside’s last two drawn matches have produced 20 goals!
Elsewhere, leaders EHRS produced another convincing performance as they comfortably beat second placed St John’s Wood Tigers 7-1. Ashley Davidson helped himself to a hat-trick, Dean Schulberg scored twice, with Ian Leader and Adam Kern also getting on the scoresheet. Josh Bentley replied for the Tigers.
Maccabi London Lions B eased into second place, thanks to an 8-0 win against Temple Fortune. Gideon Barnett scored half of their goals, with Danny Schindler, Michael Abrahams, Arthur Duke and a David Kyte penalty completing the scoring.
The division is now shaping up as a fight for the title between EHRS and Maccabi London Lions.

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.

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.

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.
