Sunday Masters review – week 29
The group stages of the new Invitational Cup saw resounding wins for Norstar London Raiders B and Brady Maccabi Masters, writes Jeremy Silverstone.
DIVISION ONE:
DIVISION TWO:
In the day’s only league encounter, the champagne is still on ice as Glenthorne A unexpectedly missed the chance to clinch the title. Phil Mayer and Jeremy Fess gave Temple Fortune an unlikely 2-1 victory, with Sid Shaw replying for Glenthorne.
In Temple Fortune’s player-manager David Goldberg’s final game, his team inflicted a first league defeat of the season on Glenthorne, although they still have two games to play to earn the two points needed to secure the top spot.
A clearly tired and emotion Goldberg was full of praise for his players: “It was a magnificent team effort, and I was proud of every one of them. What a way to end the season!”
MGBSFL/MMFL INVITATIONAL CUP, SPONSORED BY PURPLE MARKETING:
In the group stages of the MMFL-MGBSFL Invitation Trophy, Scrabble Harmen Masters edged out Faithfold B 4-3 with goals from Nigel Goldthorpe, Stefan Simons, Paul Lenchner and an own goal.
The fixture between Jewdinese and North London Raiders was poised at 2-2, with Ashley Davidson having netted twice for Raiders, when Jewdinese’s Simeon Cohen suffered a broken leg in the 55th minute, following which it was agreed that the game should be abandoned. Our best wishes go to Simeon for a speedy recovery.
Meanwhile, Hendon beat Brady Masters 5-2 thanks to a hat-trick from Gav Noe, along with strikes from Avi Mocton and Avi Markiewicz. Dan Sugarman and Mark Wagman replied for Brady.

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.
