Young Lions secure third straight league title
Maccabi London Lions White’s secured their third consecutive title as they were crowned champions of the Watford Friendly League Under 11 Red Division.
Having already won the U9 and U10 titles, they completed the hat-trick in style, losing only three of their 20 games, and finishing seven points clear of their nearest rivals.
Manager Nigel Burns, who’s Director of Youth Football at the club, along with his assistant Joel Phillips, said: “We’re rightly very proud and delighted with the achievement of the team – this has been a team effort and richly deserved.As the boys get older the games tend to get more physical, but we try and get the boys to play football the right way.”

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.
