Sunday Masters review – week 25
Sunday was Henry Swerner League Cup quarter-final day in the Masters League, as four teams booking their place in the last four of the competition writes Stuart Lustigman…
HENRY SWERNER LEAGUE CUP QUARTER-FINALS:
NL Raiders, chasing a league and cup double, were far too powerful for Division Two side St John’s Wood Tigers as they ran out 12-0 winners. Tony Plaskow helped himself to five goals, with Kevin Lotzof, Rob Cohen, Darren Cohen, Wayne Davidson, David Fox, David Lederman and Andrew Wolfin also all on target.
Chigwell Athletic booked their place in the last four, coming through 5-4 in a penalty shoot-out against Scrabble Harmen. Chigwell were 2-0 up at half-time thanks to goals from Steve Summers and Daniel Castle, only to be pegged back through Jonny Summerfield’s brace. Mark Conway put Chigwell back in front with 10 minutes to go, but Steven Moss levelled the scores in the 93rd minute to take it to the lottery of the shoot-out.
Waldaf Town booked their place in the semi-final with a 5-3 win over Brady Maccabi ‘A’ after battling back from falling behind. Lloyd Becker and Ami Wynbourne scored two each, with Alex Bourne also on target. Tim Green, Gavin Sherman and Andrew Rich replied for Brady.
In an all Division Two clash, Zig Zag Marshside took revenge for their 2-1 defeat against EDRS in the Nathan Horwitz Cup by winning by the same score thanks to a 30-yard wonder strike from Barry Silkman and Paul Shamplina’s strike, both before the break. Russell Rich pulled one back with six minutes remaining, but ZZM held out to progress into the semi-finals to join NL Raiders, ChigwellAthletic and Waldaf Town.

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.
