FIXTURES & RESULTS
HENDON UNITED A 3 LONDON MACCABI LIONS BLUE 0
Hendon closed in on securing a historic second-treble after they comfortably picked up the points against the Lions.
Ben Kon, Avidan Last and Yoav Lebens were all on target for the already cup double winners, with manager David Garbacz telling jewishnews.co.uk: “This was a very entertaining match with both teams playing good open attacking football.
“Lions came at us hard on the first 20 minutes and we could easily have conceded, but for two great saves from Russell Corin. We clicked into gear from about the middle of the first half and were good value for the lead given to us once again by the marauding Ben Kon. Avidan last doubled our lead with a typical finish and from then on it was a question of keeping our nerve and scoring as many as possible.
“We were guilty of a succession of missed chances including incredibly two Ari Last penalty misses – I’m sure their keeper must have watched the recent cup finals as he picked them perfectly. Lions contributed well to a good free flowing match, looking pretty sharp on the break, and whilst we could and should have probably scored a few more the result was the most important thing and was never really in doubt. Yehuda and Avi Korman were both magnificent at the back and Greg Corin ran rings around them for most of the game.
“We are counting no chickens yet – we expect a really tough match next week against a very dangerous Oakwood team who we know will be doing everything to beat us and lions showed today that they can be dangerous.
“The closer we now get the more our achievements are beginning to sink in and we simply have to keep going for two more games.”

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.

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.
