HENRY SWERNER MACCABI MASTERS FOOTBALL LEAGUE CUP, sponsored by Visualeyes Opticians and Sunglasses, Barnet.
The Maccabi Masters Cup kicked off this weekend – and it saw Chigwell clearly signal their intentions with an 11-2 win over Division Two leaders EHRS.
Lloyd Becker notched up five goals and Mark Conway’s double, along with strikes from Scott Warren, Adam Klein, Richard Slater and Rob Donn, saw them to the most emphatic of wins. Steve Krieger and Malcolm Joseph – from the penalty spot – replied for EHRS.
Lions A also progressed, at the expense of Brady A. Graeme Grossman gave Brady A the lead, but strikes from Rob Glass, Bradley Lazarus and Craig Pearl turned it round for Lions as they won 3-1.
DIVISION ONE:
TABLE
Leaders North London Raiders extended the gap at the top of the table to seven points as they saw off Scrabble with a 6-0 victory. Lee Cash scored twice, with Hezi Yechiel, Tony Plaskow, Jonny Blain and Alex Bourne also all on target.
DIVISION TWO:
TABLE
Brady B pulled off the shock of the day as they claimed their first win of the season – two goals from Jon Nesbitt earned them a 2-0 win over St John’s Wood Tigers, to lift them off the bottom of the table.

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.
