Lee Cash scored twice for Division One’s table-toppers, Chigwell top-scored as they hit ten, while Hendon Harriers claimed a first league win of the season.
DIVISION ONE:
TABLE
North London Raiders extended their lead at the top of the table, thanks to a 4-2 win over Brady A. Lee Cash’s double, along with Wayne Davidson and Dave Eden strikes had given Raiders a 4-0 cushion by the interval. Brady halved the deficit through Scott Ansher and Andy Miller, but Raiders ran out winners.
Chigwell, meanwhile, returned to winning ways as they well and truly tamed Lions A. Adam Stolerman and Neil Gallagher scored four each, with Richard Slater and Joel Berg also on target in a 10-3 victory, which moves them up to second place.
DIVISION TWO:
TABLE
St John’s Wood Tigers failed to close the gap on the leaders as they were held to a 2-2 draw against Marshside. Martin Leslie and Jason Rich netting for the latter, with Ilan Cohen and John Perloff earning a point for Tigers.
Hendon Harriers celebrated their first win of the season as Brian Deal, Adam Brand and Ian Sumray goals gave them a 3-2 win over Brady B.
Elsewhere, EDRS came out 5-3 winners over Glenthorne, having been 3-1 down, Gary Adams bagged a double, with Sid Shaw also on target. But two goals from Jason Sears on his EDRS debut, plus strikes from Darren Coon, Steve Krieger and Barry Silkman ensured the win for the Sky Blues.

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.
