The clash of the top two in Division One ended in a 6-1 thrashing, while St John’s Wood Tigers moved to the top of Division Two…
DIVISION ONE:
TABLE
North London Raiders head the table after a 6-1 win over second-placed Brady A. Tony Plaskow helped himself to a hat-trick, while Wayne Davidson, James Cartmell and Dan Levy were also all on target. Raiders and Maccabiah football manager (35+), Elan Ovits told jewishnews.co.uk: “We played well today against a strong Brady team. It’s still very early days and just another three points. We look forward to our next game against the Champs Chigwell who will be a much tougher test.” Scott Warren netted Brady’s consolation.
A Michael Abraham penalty was enough to give Lions A their first win of the campaign, as they saw off the challenge from HMH.
DIVISION TWO:
TABLE
St John’s Wood Tigers moved three points clear at the top of the table as they won their third game from four games. Perry Somer’s double, along with strikes from Adam Soller and Johnny Mansoor seeing them to a 4-0 win over Temple Fortune.
Elsewhere in a game of two halves, EDRS and Marshside ended up sharing the points in a 3-3 draw. Martin Seifert’s brace and Tony Platman’s penalty had given EDRS a seemingly unassailable lead just before the interval, but goals from Marc Morris either side of the break reduced the deficit, before Justin Woolf levelled to earn Marshside their first point of the season.

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.
