It’s bye bye Boca as team fold ahead of new season
League down to 33 teams after Boca Jewniors withdraw due to a lack of numbers.
Andrew Sherwood is the Jewish News Sport and Community Editor
With just less than a month to go until the start of the Jewish league football season, Boca Jewniors have announced that they’ve withdrawn from the League.
Their place in Division Two has gone to Real Hendon, who drop back down a division, meaning the top-flight will have ten teams, Division One now 11 and Division Two 12.
In what would have been their fifth season, the club’s Anton Nyman said: “To be honest [when we registered] we thought we had enough players, but then from what we had, several more disappeared off radar and we gave up hope.
“We started back in 2011 – so have had a few good seasons. Unfortunately, too many players have dropped away to the new teams and it makes it impossible to continue with depleted resources.”

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.
