Levin strike steers Lions to Peter Morrison Trophy win
Rowley Lane side beat Liverpool Haroldeans 1-0 to land Jewish FA Cup
Andrew Sherwood is the Jewish News Sport and Community Editor
London Lions White won its first Peter Morrison Trophy in eleven years as Kiki Levin’s strike proved to be enough to see them beat Liverpool Haroldeans 1-0.
In what proved to be a tightly-contested encounter at Kings Langley, the MGBSFL side had just enough on the day to see off the Merseysiders.
While conceding it was a close match, Lions manager Ryan Springer did feel his side deserved the win on the day. He told jewishnews.co.uk: “It was a tight game played in difficult conditions and we’ve definitely played better this season.
“We were up against a well oiled, disciplined side who made it very hard for us to get the ball down and play – and full credit to them. But we defended well, made it hard for them too, and overall we feel that we shaded it.”
Believing the experience they have in their squad played a major factor in their win, he said: “It definitely played a big factor. We won a cup final last season and many of those boys involved then used that to their advantage. We also used the rotating substitutes efficiently in hot conditions.”
Saying he’s very pleased for his players having won the trophy for the first time in 11 years, as well as “hoping the success continues”, reflecting back on the campaign, he added: “It’s been a tough season as always. It was great to see some of the younger boys come through from the youth team, but we had a good run towards the end and have some silverware to show for it.”

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.
