Sunday masters review – week eleven
Waldaf claimed a shock win in Division One, while the Tigers mauled the Lions in Division Two, writes Jeremy Silverstone…
DIVISION ONE:
TABLE
FIXTURES & RESULTS
Waldaf Town pulled off a surprise win over North London Raiders as Jeremy Leigh’s double, along with strikes from James Kaye and Adam Kaye earned them a 4-3 victory. Raiders replied through Wayne Davidson, Richards Sacks and an own goal.
DIVISION TWO:
TABLE
FIXTURES & RESULTS
The Tigers avenged their early-season defeat at the hands (paws? claws?) of Lions as St John’s Wood Tigers beat London Maccabi Lions with first half goals from Ashley Marks and Paul Herszaft. Despite David Kyte pulling one back for Lions from the penalty spot after the break, Tigers held on for the points.
EDRS took full advantage to cruise into top spot with a 9-0 crushing of Marshside. Russell Rich helped himself to a hat-trick, Martin Seifert and Ian Leader scored two each, with a Malcolm Joseph penalty and late strike from Nigel Conway completing the rout.
But hot on their heels – and with games in hand – are Glenthorne A, who inflicted a 5-0 defeat on Temple Fortune. David Michaels bagged a hat-trick, with Greg Morris scoring the other two . It was Glenthorne’s fifth straight league win out of five, and they are yet to concede a goal.
It proved to be a good day for Glenthorne all round, as their B-team came back from a goal down to Phil Mayer’s strike for Hendon Harriers to beat them 3-1 thanks to a wonder free-kick from Adam Lennard and two fine strikes from Nicky Pitch.

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.
