Action was focused at the top of both tables as a first minute strike saw Raiders to the points in Division One, while Tigers were held to a point in an eight-goal thriller in Division Two.
DIVISION ONE:
TABLE
A goal in the first minute from Dan Levy was sufficient to give North London Raiders a 1-0 win over Scrabble and take them three points clear at the top of the table.
DIVISION TWO:
TABLE
St John’s Wood Tigers missed out on the chance to go level with EHRS at the top of the table, as they could only salvage a point from an epic 4-4 encounter with Brady B. Previously without a point from their first two games, Brady raced into a 4-1 half-time lead against the title challengers thanks to Scott Ansher’s double, along with strikes from Malcolm Hershman and Kevin Lotzof. But Tigers roared back after the break and pulled it back to 4-4, with their goals coming from Ashley Marks, Ilan Cohen and two from John Perloff – and they were only denied the win by some outstanding goalkeeping heroics from Brady’s Martin Schultz.
Despite an own goal and Jeremy Fess’ strike, Glenthorne pipped Temple Fortune 3-2 thanks to goals from Vincent Goodman, Adam Lennard and Paul van Gelder.

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

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.
