North London Raiders extended their lead at the summit in Division One, while Hendon Harriers went goal-crazy in Division Two…
DIVISION ONE:
TABLE
Pace-setters North London Raiders extended their lead at the top of the table with a 4-0 win over Brady A thanks to goals from Nicky Silver, Ben Simons, Jeremy King and Tony Plaskow.
Meanwhile, Lions A moved into second spot with a 4-2 victory at Scrabble. Bradley Lazarus scored twice, with James Temple and an own goal completing their win.
DIVISION TWO:
TABLE
The only game of the day proved to be an one-sided encounter between old adversaries Marshside and Hendon Harriers, and despite Harriers taking the lead through John Nesbit, that was as good as it got for them. Paul Herszaft’s double, along with strikes from Barry Abrahams, Jason Rich, Darren Coon, Barry Silkman, David Hyman and two own goals ensured that Marshside emerged with the points from a 9-1 win and moved up to third place.

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.
