Sunday Masters review – week 29
There was action in both cup competitions as places at Wingate & Finchkey FC up for grabs, writes Jeremy Silverstone…
HENRY SWERNER MACCABI MASTERS CUP:
This year’s Maccabi Masters Cup Final will be contested by North London Raiders and Waldaf Town on Sunday 10 May at Wingate & Finchley FC (ko 4.30pm).
Newly-crowned league champions North London Raiders will be seeking a league and cup double after they beat Chigwell 5-1 to reach the final, courtesy of Adam Levene’s double, along with strikes from Danny Daggers, Wayne Davidson and Jon Isaacs. Paul Gold scored Chigwell’s consolation.
Meanwhile, two first-half goals from Jerry Leigh and Alex Bourne were enough to ensure that Waldaf saw off the challenge from second division Zigzag Marshside, and despite Faramarz Moghim converting a penalty for Marshside after the break, Waldaf held on to secure their place at this season’s showcase event.
NATHAN HORWITZ DIVISION TWO CUP:
With Maccabi London Lions already confirmed as one of the finalists in the Nathan Horwitz MMFL Division 2 Cup Final at Wingate on Tuesday 12 May (ko 7.30pm), all that remained was to decide their opponents. And despite falling behind to Dean Ingram’s 21st minute goal for Temple Fortune, three late strikes from Darren Leventhal, Micky Nathan and Paul van Gelder earned Glenthorne United that place as they triumphed 3-1.
DIVISION ONE:
Honours were even in the one game played in the Division as Faithfold and Brady A shared the points in their 2-2 draw. Andrew Souber and Boris Simons scoring for Faithfold, with Dean Schulberg and Adam Gishen replying for Brady.
DIVISION TWO:

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.
