TEN PIN BOWLING – OPEN
Russell Snipper wins bronze in individual event to claim what was his first ever Maccabi medal – at either a European Games or Maccabiah. He said: “I’m hugely utterly emotional! I’m ecstatic, elated and exhausted! I was sitting in sixth place at one point and knew I had to bowl one of my best ever games in my final one, together with others bowling not so well – and that’s pretty much how it panned out.
“I’m proud of the team who also helped gee me on and am just emotional.”
FUTSAL – U16 BOYS
RSA 3 GB 9 FINAL SCORE
Joe Leslie scored a hat-trick, James Green and Jahed Rand scored two each, with Jamie Myers and Jayden Huglin completing the rout.
Manager Laurence Myers said: “It was a fantastic performance and I couldn’t have asked for any more. I told them we couldn’t afford to lose the first game and we went out there and put on a great performance. We’re now looking forward to our next game against Spain tomorrow.
FOOTBALL – OPEN MEN’S
GB 4 ITA 1 FINAL SCORE
GB need just a point from their final group game against Switzerland on Friday to book their place in the semi-finals after they produced a strong second half performance to see off a fiery Italian side.
Trailing 1-0 at the break, two goals from Yoav Kestenbaum, along with strikes from Louis Basso and Joe Sharpe saw GB crown off a strong second half performance to secure a deserved win.
Manager Jonny Rose said: “It was a carbon copy of the France game where we just couldn’t get our game going and didn’t play our game. We got them in at half-time, changed a few things, but more importantly didn’t panic as we knew we were always in the game.
“We equalised ten minutes after the break, and then scored again two minutes later, and from then on in we were totally in control. We’re getting better with each game, our superior fitness is showing and we now have a massive game coming up against Switzerland.”
FOOTBALL – U18 BOYS
US 0 GB 3 FINAL SCORE
Adam Burchell opened the scoring from the penalty spot, before Adam Willis doubled the lead, also from the spot.
Harry Marlow’s second half strike ensured the win, with manager Simon Zalet saying: “It was our opening game, so there was a bit of nerves and anxiety there. The penalty settled us down and after that our superior fitness and technique shone through. It was a good start to the campaign.”
They next take on the Netherlands tomorrow.
FOOTBALL – U16 BOYS
ARG 1 GB 2 FINAL SCORE
Two goals from George Leigh saw Daren Nathan’s side get off to a winning start, though their win was marred by an in jury to Joe Bellman which has ruled him out of the rest of the tournament.
Nathan said: “This was the toughest opening game we could have faced, but we produced an absolutely fantastic performance. Our boys dug in so deep and I’m just over the moon with them, we’re all so proud of the team.”
The win was though overshadowed by an injury to Bellman, which has ruled him out of the remainder of the tournament. Nathan said: “The boys have been together for one-and-a-half years, and for Joe to be injured like this is terrible. We’re all gutted for him.”
FUTSAL – U18 BOYS
GB 4 ESP 1 FINAL SCORE
Danny Stapleton scored twice – including the opener – with Maxim Green and Aaron Diamond also scoring.
Manager Adam Lustigman said: “I’m delighted to start with a win, which in truth far exceeded my expectations. Having seen out four other futsal teams win earlier on, this spurned my team on to ensure we made sure we ended the day with a clean sweep!”

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.
