Sunday Masters review – week 2
Andrew Sherwood is the Jewish News Sport and Community Editor
Three teams in Division One maintained their 100 percent winning start to the season, while Lions made in 15 goals in two games in Division Two, to top the early table, writes Jeremy Silverstone…
DIVISION ONE:
RESULTS & FIXTURES
TABLE
Reigning champions North London Raiders edged past HMH thanks to a solitary Tony Plaskow goal.
Scrabble, however, put four past Faithfold without reply to top the table, but they had to wait until the final quarter to break the deadlock, with Andy Miller scoring from outside the box, then providing the through-ball that set up the first of Andrew Binstock’s hat-trick.
Top scorers in the top flight were Chigwell, who saw off the challenge from Brady A despite being 3-1 down, with Shrayer Shapiro, Adam Gishen and Mark Wagman netting for Brady. But Chigwell fought back, with Jaimie Sinclair and Mark Conway both grabbing trebles to give Chigwell a well-earned 6-3 victory.
DIVISION TWO:
RESULTS & FIXTURES
TABLE
Lions followed up last week’s 8-0 win with a 7-1 routing of Brady B, thanks to two goals each from Danny Schindler and Michael Abraham, coupled with strikes from Darren Coon, Simon Davidson and David Price. Brady did at least notch up a consolation with Malcolm Hershman curling in a Goal of the Season contender with a 25-yard free kick.
Marshside won their battle with Glenthorne 4-1 thanks to goals from Sacha Alter, scoring twice on his debut, a long-range effort from player-manager Barry Silkman and a late strike from Graham Meyer. Paul van Gelder scored Glenthorne’s sole response.
EDRS recorded their first win, running out 5-3 winners against Hendon Harriers. Ian Sumray’s double and Richard Morris scored for Harriers, but goals from Martin Seifert, Tony Platman and a rare hat-trick from Nigel Conway ensured that EDRS secured the points.

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.
