Scrabble in seventh heaven

Scrabble maintained their 100 percent winning start to the season
MGBSFL Division Two:
Scrabble 7 Hendon United B 0
Sunday, 27 September, 2015
Scrabble went into the game knowing that they were facing their toughest test of the season to date against a very useful Hendon Side.
The game was fairly evenly balanced until Josh Sheridan opened the scoring after about 25 minutes, before Zak McLeod added a second before half-time. Their lead before the break would have been even greater but for some fine stops from the Hendon goalkeeper.
Scrabble changes for the second half, bringing on striker Danny Sherman, who helped himself to two goals in a period of sustained second half pressure, when for 25 minutes, Scrabble enjoyed a purple patch.
Having then used their three substitutes and with a more attacking look to the side, Scrabble went on to score three more, Zak McLeod scoring again and Jonathan Peters adding a second to his tally.
With Elliot Espinoza pulling the strings in midfield and a solid display by the Scrabble back four in which Adam Newman is in top form it is now three straight league wins for the Scrabble boys who have conceded just once in those games.

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.
