Sunday, 19 October, 2014
Physicality was the name of the game for Maccabi GB as they had conceded a whopping 44 goals a week prior in their final pre-season friendly. However, this would not be the case again in SportHouse, Dagenham, as the defence stepped it up a notch to prohibit a repeat performance. Special mention must go to goalkeeper, Joshua Pinhass, whose man-of-the-match heroics halted a potential onslaught. As did the aggression of Pivot, Daniel Sichel, who received two ‘Sin Bins’ throughout the game, not uncommon in the sport.
Despite doubles from Tony Tropp and Alex Elf, plus one apiece from Dean Caplin and captain Liam Stein, the MGB attack was particularly static and did not pose too many threats to a ruthless Fulham team who now sit top of the table after two wins from two.
Next up for the community’s only competitive handball side is a home fixture against Ruislip Eagles II at Watford Leisure Centre Central on Sunday 9, November, 12:30pm throw-off.

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.
