Double-winning London Maccabi Lions came down to earth with a thud as Glenthorne A showed they’ll be a force to be reckoned with this season. Greg Morris helped himself to a hat-trick, while David Michaels was also on target in a 4-0 win.

A brace from Yossi Arvatz, coupled with a strike from David Morris saw Hendon Harriers win 3-2 at Brady Maccabi B.
