Division One title-chasers Chigwell suffered a shock defeat, while there was an equally-surprising emphatic victory in Division Two…
DIVISION ONE:
TABLE
Brady A and Maccabi London Lions A met in a double-header.
The first leg saw Brady take a two-goal lead, thanks to Alex Bourne and Scott Ansher goals, but Lions hit back in the final five minutes through Paul Lenchner and Michael Abraham to come away with a 2-2 draw.
The Lions did though take the points in the second game, Michael Abraham’s double, coupled with goals from Alex Levack and Adam Brand sealing a 4-2 win. Bourne and Kevin Lotzof replied for Brady.
The shock result of the day went to Scrabble, who recorded only their third league win of the season – and in doing so put a significant dent in Chigwell’s title aspirations, Serge Cowan’s late goal proved to be the difference between the teams.
DIVISION TWO:
TABLE
Bottom club Hendon Harriers enjoyed a rare scoring spree as two goals each from Ian Sumray and Jon Nesbitt helped them to a 6-0 win over Brady B. Jason Rich and Darren Coon completed the rout.

Engaging

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.

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.
