The clash of the top-two in Division One saw Raiders end Chigwell’s wining start, while Marshside picked up their first win of the season in Division Two…
DIVISION ONE:
TABLE
Raiders maintained their 100 percent winning start to the season – as Chigwell lost theirs, as goals from Gideon Gold and James Cartmell saw the former to a 2-0 win – and go six points clear at the top of the table.
Manager Elan Ovits told jewishnews.co.uk: “We knew this was going to be a tough game against the champs, but I thought we outplayed Chigwell in all departments and deserved our win with two fantastic goals.
“It’s very early days to get carried away, but we’re currently playing some great football and look foward to the next game.”
Lions A recorded their first win of the season as they beat Scrabble 3-0, thanks to a brace from Craig Pearl, with Hadley Silver also hitting the back of the net.
DIVISION TWO:
TABLE
In the only game in the division, Marshside recorded their first win of the season. Jason Rich, Justin Woolf and Gil Barel all scored in a 3-2 win over Brady Maccabi B, Roger Kay scored the visitor’s consolation.

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.
