Sunday Masters review – week 5
The Raiders extended their lead at the top of Division One of the Maccabi Masters League, while there was a surprise result in Division Two, writes Jeremy Silverstone…
DIVISION ONE:
North London Raiders made it three wins out of three as they disposed of Chigwell. Wayne Davidson scored twice, with strikes from Andrew Wolfin, Tony Plaskow and Dan Hodes seeing them to a 5-0 victory which extended their lead at the top of the table.
Meanwhile, HMH and Faithfold shared six goals in a 3-3 draw. Mark Ratzger scored twice for HMH, with James Temple hitting their third. Simon Shelley, Simon Beresford and an own goal earned the Greens a point.
DIVISION TWO:
Goals from David Price and Marc Morris, along with an own goal saw Lions move to second place as they claimed a 3-1 win over Hendon Harriers, who replied with a Geoff Isaacs penalty.
But in the surprise result of the season so far, Zigzag Marshside beat Glenthorne United in spectacular style to avenge several heavy defeats in previous seasons and move into third place.
The game started well for Glenthorne and they could have gone ahead when a long-range shot was pushed onto the bar early in the first half. However, they never found their rhythm and found themselves two down at the break to a long-range wonder goal from Sam Nourazi and another goal from Danny Cuby.
They fell further behind early in the second half when Brian Deal muscled his way forward from the halfway line to shrug off several challenges and stab ball under the Glenthorne goalkeeper. Jason Rich then got himself onto the scoresheet on his Marshside debut goal and the rout was completed when Brian Deal scored his second in injury time to make the final score 5-0.

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.
