Two goals from Graeme Grossman saw Brady A through to the semi-finals, as they beat Lions A 2-1, Michael Abraham scoring the latter’s consolation.
DIVISION ONE:
TABLE
North London Raiders extended their lead at the top of the table to ten points as Alex Bourne’s double, along with strikes from James Cartmell and Lee Cash saw them beat Scrabble 4-1.
DIVISION TWO:
TABLE
EDRS and St John’s Wood Tigers continue to battle it out for second place in Division Two, with both sides claiming the three points, albeit with varying degrees of ease.
EDRS maintained their point advantage over the Tigers as Mark Kingston’s double and Martin Seifert’s strike helped them to a 3-2 win over Hendon Harriers, for whom Graham Meyer netted twice.
The Tigers were much more comfortable in securing their three points, as they were emphatic 9-2 winners over Brady B. Grant Morgan and Jason Bentley scored two each, with Oren Wolf, Johnny Mansoor, Jonny Feinmesser, Mark Nathan, and a wonder goal from Ilan Cohen sealing the rout. Trevor Tucker and Spencer Brookner 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.
