Hendon inch closer to title after beating Brady
Hendon United A moved a step closer to becoming Premier Division champions on Thursday evening, after they recorded a comprehensive 30- win over Brady A.
Yoav Kestenbaum, Yishai Last and Avidan Last were all on target for the treble-chasers, with manager David Garbacz telling jewishnews.co.uk: “Tonight we overcame a massive hurdle in our quest to win the title and remain unbeaten. We earmarked this game as a potential banana skin and we had to be at our resolute best to come away with the three points.
“In a closely fought first half, the decisive moment came when Yishai finished superbly on the stroke of half-time to give us a 2-0 lead, to add to Yoav’s opener. In truth we were fortunate to take that cushion into the break as Brady had given us no end of problems in the first half, but our defence had held up brilliantly with the two Kons,Rafi and Ben outstanding.
“In the second half we were far more comfortable and managed to see out the win with relative ease.
“We were buzzing after this result and the belief gets stronger every day that we are on the cusp of pulling off a remarkable feat. It was good of a few of the Norstar boys to come along tonight which only served to spur us on even more. We must remain level headed though – there is still a long way to go, but it is all in our hands and we fully intend to keep it that way until our final game of the season.”
Hendon have five league games remaining, and currently lie 12 points behind the leaders Norstar A. Their next match is on Sunday morning, when they host relegation-threatened London Maccabi Lions White.

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.

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

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.
