Danny Caro's Team of the Week: May 19

Danny Caro — Tue, 21 May 2013 15:42:18 +0100

There were tears of joy and sadness shed on Matchday 36 of the season. Here we salute the heroes who grabbed the headlines.

1. Josh COHEN (Los Blancos) - "consistent heroics in goal but also ending the final game with a goal and assist. Not many keepers can rack up those stats"

2. Russell BRILL (Chigwell Athletic) - star man in the win that ended Glenthorne's title hopes

3. Adam OSPER (Southgate Harmen) - man-of-the-match against Faithfold B, Mr Reliable had one of his best games in a black and white shirt. He even managed a nut meg, pure class

4. Danny NEWMAN (Jerusalem) - a rock that stopped England FC getting their hands on the double

5. Dave PRESTON (Jerusalem) - his partnership alongside Danny Newman was like Hansen and Lawro

6. Alex BULL (Southgate Harmen) - put in a real shift and is a real favourite of outgoing manager Dan Uzan

7. Ben MURRELL (Southgate Harmen) - "an incredible performance and a really special hat-trick" against Faithfold

8. Gav COHEN (Jerusalem) - an energetic performance in the Olim Cup final where controlled the midfield against league champions England FC

9. Josh CAPLIN (Los Blancos) - "controlled the central midfield area and picked the perfect passes to start another LB attack" against Norstar B

10. Dean BEN YOSEF (Chigwell Athletic) - finished the season in top form and manager Richard Slater must surely give him a contract extension now ...

11. Adam ARNOLD (London Maccabi Lions) - four-goal hero helped the Lions finish joint-winners of the Watford Friendly League title

Cup success for Jerusalem

Tue, 21 May 2013 12:15:55 +0100

OLIM LEAGUE CUP FINAL
JERUSALEM 5 ENGLAND FC 2

Two goals from Moishe Lewis helped Jerusalem crush England FC’s double hopes as they won a compelling Olim Cup final 5-2.

England went into the game as favourites having recently clinched the league title, but with only 12 men available, they were missing some key players including Tal Stern, Omer Peleg, Jacob Kalms, and keeper Ariel Solomon. Roy Zenou started between the sticks, and both Lewis Kaye and Daniel Scott are in the squad despite lacking match fitness.

Jerusalem went into the game with a full-strength squad other than centre half Natan Weisenberg who was replaced by the veteran Danny Newman. Eli Warner was preferred to start as lone striker ahead of Lewis Kaye.

Motti Colman had the first chance of the game inside three minutes but his speculative lob forced a smart save
from Fran Salgado in the Jerusalem goal.

The pace of Adam Jaffe kept the Jerusalem defence on their toes, but the stood firm before going in front after 13 minutes. England keeper Roy Zenou was at fault, fumbling a seemingly harmless shot into the path of Eli
Warner and the former North West Neasden marksman made no mistake from close range.

The match became niggly, with both teams putting in some strong challenges as the Jerusalem backline proved hard for England to break down.

Jerusalem made an early change midway through the half, with the combative midfielder Jason Lurie thrown into the action at the expense of Rafi Wreschner.

Warner was causing all sorts of problems to the England defence, linking up well with Avi Korman. Akiva Zniemer almost doubled the lead only to be denied by the woodwork with Zenou beaten.

With Jerusalem’s Gav Cohen and Avi Korman dominating the midfield exchanges, England were relieved to hear the half time whistle trailing by a single goal.

England rejigged things at the start of the second half, with Zenou moving outfield and Terry Newman taking the gloves. He was soon called into action, saving well from Amit Dinowitz and Lolu Hibbert in quick succession.
Jerusalem doubled the lead on 56 minutes when Zneimer evaded the offside trap to fire a low shot past Newman.

England then made their third change in goal when Newman returned outfield, with former FC Heath striker Lewis Kaye going between the posts.

England enjoyed a good spell, with Chad Waldman missing a gilt-edged opportunity before Kaye was called into action to deny the dangerous Zneimer.

Livewire Jaffe then hauled England back into the game, drilling the ball under Jerusalem keeper Fran Salgado. It wasn’t the best of strikes but it gives England the lifeline they needed.

The game was turned on its head a minute later as England drew level. Nicky Plotnek delivered a peach of a cross that was fumbled by Salgado, allowing Tomer Saban an easy tap-in from five yards.

England had barely finished celebrating their equaliser but parity was restored just 30 seconds later as Dinowitz placed a terrific curler past Kaye from the edge of the area.

The England keeper breathed a sigh of relief minutes later as he was shown a yellow card after a wild challenge on Daniel Cohen outside of the area.

The introduction of Cohen caused all sorts of problems to the England defence. It appeared England only had one answer to his rampaging runs, with Josh Hantman the next to clatter into him.

Jerusalem moved into a 4-2 lead as Lewis is rewarded for his hard work as he turned past Yoni Sidi inside the England box and slotted the ball in.

The drama increased as Hantman was shown a second yellow card following a challenge on Jason Lurie, that forced him off, but the referee forgot to pull out his red card.

Lewis ended England’s hopes of a comeback two minutes from time with another composed finish past Kaye to wrap up a 5-2 victory.

David Preston said: "To win some silverware for the second consecutive year is a real achievement.

"The team has been made to work hard all season and this trophy is a fitting reward for their efforts."

England player-manager Yoni Sidi commented:"“Well played Jerusalem, and especially Danny Newman and Dave
Preston who were deserved winners. They soaked up our pressure well and played a good game-plan to counter-attack us.

"Kosky and Newman were like rocks at the back and I think the crowd saw the two best teams in the league tonight go toe to toe and it was a great game.

"We were missing some key players and that was disappointing, but my lads have given it everything like they have done all season."

"We're happy we won the league and will need to come back stronger next year if we want to win the cup."

Jerusalem: Fran Salgado, Yoel Finches, David Preston, Danny Newman, Dan Kosky (capt), Avi Korman, Rafi Wreschner, Gav Cohen, Amit Dinowitz, Akiva Zneimer, Eli Warner. Subs: Lollu Hibbert, Mosihe Lewis, Jason Lurie, Daniel Cohen

England: Roy Zenou, Yuval, Terry Newman, Yoni Sidi, Tomer Saban, Motti Colman, Nicky Plotnek, Josh Hantman, Lewis Kaye, Adam Jaffe, Chad Waldman. Sub: Daniel Scott

Pearl Dental crowned again

Tue, 21 May 2013 11:38:36 +0100

Pearl Dental claimed their third consecutive Israel Night Cricket League title after clinching the Division Two crown with a 40-run victory over YMCA at the Modi'in Cricket arena.

The crucial toss was won by PD's David Wiseman and he had no hesitation in electing to bat. His counterpart, YMCA's Brett Hickson, said that he would have loved to bat first and set a target.

The YMCA players were confident before the game as they had already beaten PDCC once before in the season and Hickson had watched most of the PDCC matches, so he had highlighted the strengths and weaknesses to his team.

Not even a change in tactics by Hickson, by using his two main bowling weapons, Saul Weitzman and Benjy Myers in the first fpir overs could stem the runs flowing from the Pearl Dental bats. Danny Brill and Craig Levy got Pearl off to a very solid start with an opening partnership of 31, followed up by 38 by the Iian Levy/Jason Bloom pairing.

Wiseman and David Lewin continued to pile up the runs with 37. The key to the PDCC batting was the running between the wickets and the fact that they did not lose any wickets in the opening 12 overs. At the interval Wiseman was happy but cautious, saying; "We are thrilled to have gotten 112, but the YMCA are a strong unit so the job is not yet complete."

Hickson and Clint Rubin started the run chase relatively well, but their partnership of 19 was hampered by the loss of three wickets (-15 runs). Weitzman and David Leshansky put up a brave fight scoring 38, but they needed support from their teammates to get close to the PDCC total and the disciplined bowling and fielding unit of PDCC never allowed them to settle.

Brill picked up three wickets, while Wiseman and David Kable chipped in with two apiece to cap off a thoroughly deserving 40-run victory.

Victorious captain Wiseman was "relieved" to win as "we had and an up and down season winning five and losing four, but we seemed to click in the finals." He was full of praise for opposition, saying: "YMCA has proved to be a revelation - coming into the league and immediately establishing themselves as a team to be reckoned with. We know that whenever we play them, we have to be at our best."

Hickson was upset after the game, but admitted that "Pearl outplayed us in all aspects of the game, but as this first season in the night league we have a lot of positives to take out of the game. But kudos to Pearl for playing a great game and deservedly taking the honours.

"Pearl gave us a real lesson in how to play the indoor game. They batted sensibly and clinically, playing the percentages game. Scoring mainly two and threes, playing very few risky shots and losing only two or three wickets was the platform for their good score. They backed this up with accurate bowling and very sharp fielding.

"For me their style of play has been a real eye opener, something I hope to bring aboard when starting the next season with the YMCA’s."

After the prize giving ceremony, both sets of players and supporters shared a few drinks and rated this season of the night league as the best yet.

Wiseman and Hickson were full of praise for their players in a season that has lasted all of nine months. Wiseman mentioned that "after losing some talented players in the last off-season, pressure was on us to replace them."

He went on to say: "In David Kable, Yoni Salomon, Ilan Buchbinder and Rael Olwyn, we were lucky to find some fantastic cricketers and it was because these of guys we were able to make it three on the trot. We can't wait for the next season. We get hung up about winning and losing but ultimately everyone who plays is a winner. The fact that we can play cricket in israel is amazing."

Hickson mentioned a few standout players this season, saying: "I would like to thank my players for their inspirational performances during the season: David 'Chopper' Harris, Saul Weitzman, David Leshansky, Yonatan Karmi, Joe Neppe, Adam Finkelstein, Clint Rubin, Paul Kloot, David Benjamin, Aryeh Meyers and Benjy Myers. Last but not least our manager and sponsor Michael Morris.

Hickson cheekily added that "the league has been a great opportunity to escape some of the housework," before mentioning that he has "absolutely loved the league. The atmosphere has been great while the camaraderie between the players has been excellent. I have personally made many new friends."

This week sees the Division Three final as two Bet Shemesh teams, KAT Israemploy and Gold Insurance Bet Shemesh Lightning battle it out for bragging rights. This game starts at 7:45pm on Thursday evening and both teams would want to end the season off with a win and the gold medal.

GB swimmers looking to make a splash in Israel

Tue, 21 May 2013 11:01:22 +0100

Maccabi GB has selected the Team GB Swimming squads who will be aiming for gold at this summer’s 19th Maccabiah Games.

There will be six Junior athletes and two Open athletes competing. The side’s talent pool is overflowing, featuring some of the best young Jewish swimmers in the country.

The GB squad is double the size of that which competed at 2009 Maccabiah Games. However, although most of the swimmers have represented Team GB at either a JCC Games or European Maccabi Games, all eight will be competing at their maiden Maccabiah on July 18.

The Junior Girls Squad includes 2011 European Maccabi Games medallist, Hollie Fisher. Joining her are Chloe Jacobs, Elisha Kramer and Rachel Ayrton, with Robert Dos Santos and Daniel Schindler completing the Junior Boys. All six are JCC Maccabi Games medal-winners and will be hoping to draw upon this experience in Israel.

The Open Squad sees another joint-JCC Maccabi Games and European Maccabi Games medallist take to the water - Naomi Ayrton, older sister of Rachel.

Completing the line-up is possibly the team’s most experienced swimmer, Adam Warner – winner of the Brighton Pier-to-Pier Race 2012, as well as two Golds (800 and 1500m freestyle) and one Bronze (400m freestyle) at the British Gas Senior and Masters National Championships.

Injecting some much-needed experience and guidance to the Squad will be Team Manager, Abbi Pinnick. She has a plethora of Maccabiot under her belt, having won a Swimming Relay Bronze in 2001 and a Netball Silver from 2009. She has also overseen the Maccabi GB Swimming Squad at the JCC Maccabi Games 2010.

Speaking about expectations for her swimmers at the 19th Maccabiah Games, Pinnick, said, "Having represented my country before at the Maccabiah Games, I know that the Squad will have a fantastic time – it is my job to ensure they enjoy themselves and the whole experience.

"We have some very talented swimmers in both age groups and I’m excited to be part of Maccabi GB alongside them and other members of the Jewish Community from around the world."

Heroic Hizer crushes Glenthorne's title dream

Danny Caro — Mon, 20 May 2013 12:56:58 +0100

JC MSFL DIVISION ONE
CHIGWELL ATHLETIC 2 GLENTHORNE UNITED A 1

Glenthorne United's promotion hopes suffered a blow as they were beaten 2-1 by local rivals Chigwell Athletic at the Met Police Sports Ground.

Two wonder free-kicks from Paul Hizer did the trick for Chigwell.

Fabio Rivieccio scored for Glenthorne who were unable to repeat last week's 2-1 win over Richard Slater's men.

And to make matters worse, Glenthorne had Adam Shafron and Jake Barnett dismissed - both last men on seperate occasions.

Chigwell player-manager Richard Slater told JC Sport: "We were the better side overall and deserved the win. We started the game with quick tempo, but yet again we wernt clinical enough in front of goal for the amount of chances we missed.

"They had a 15-minute spell in second half after their goal, but thankfully we put the game to bed and ended our season with a win."

Glenthorne boss Sam Rosenthal told JC Sport: "We 'can't argue with the sending off's but we still had the chances to win the game, even when we went down to nine men.

"Credit to the boys for a great season, shame that teams pulling out and forfeiting games have decided our fate in the league."

Double delight for Brady U13's

Mon, 20 May 2013 12:18:47 +0100

Brady Maccabi Reds under 13’s won the Watford Friendly League Yellow division title after a thrilling double header against Finchley Revolution.

The first game was won relatively easily with a 3-0 win with goals from Dan Gaby, Jamie Delane and an own goal.

The second game proved to be a more tense affair, with Jacob Elmon pulling the strings in midfield and Brady hitting the woodwork three times.

Brady peppered the Finchley goal, with several shots cleared off the line, and at 0-0 with 10 minutes to go and Brady needing to win the game to win the title a hat-trick of brilliant saves by goalkeeper Ben Karbaron kept them in the game.

It needed a moment of inspiration seven minutes from time to put Brady ahead and upped stepped Jake Brassey who scored a wonderful solo effort.

Super striker Dan Gaby sealed the win with his his 46th goal of the season to finish the job amid wild celebrations form the players and fans.

Joint-manager Johnathan Vandermolen said: "We are so proud of what the boys have achieved this season."

Co-boss Adam Meranda added: "We really feel that Brady has a very bright future."

Six-hitting Harmen give Uzan perfect send-off

Danny Caro — Mon, 20 May 2013 12:08:39 +0100

JC MSFL DIVISION ONE
FAITHFOLD B 0 SOUTHGATE HARMEN 6

A stunning hat-trick from BEN MURRELL saw Southgate Harmen finish the season on a high after hitting Faithfold B for six to register their eighth win of the season.

Further strikes from Sam Castle, Alex Bull and Josh Franklin ensured outgoing manager Dan Uzan received the perfect send-off.

An emotional Uzan told JC Sport: "Sunday was the perfect send-off. After five seasons, it was my last game in charge and we came up against a tough Faithfold side, with a few Premiership players in the squad. We scored six and kept a clean sheet, I couldn't have asked for any more.

"I feel happy and in some ways relieved that I am leaving behind a great squad that will push on under new management and take this club back to the Premier League.

"The last five years at Harmen have been incredible. It's a special club that was set up by Jon Hirshler, Marc Cohen and Simon Lyons 12 years ago. I have tried my best to keep the team together, to keep them challenging, and most improtantly to have a squad of players we could be proud of.

"It has been humbling working with Stuart Cohen, who is the heartbeat of Southgate Harmen. Big Stu runs the club the way every club should be run, and he knows that he and Harmen can rely on me whenever they need.

"Thank you to all the players I have managed over the last five years, and everyone involved at the club."

MAL slip up against West Harrow

Mon, 20 May 2013 11:35:49 +0100

MIDDLESEX SUNDAY CRICKET LEAGUE DIVISION TWO
MAL 123 Mark Landau 50
West Harrow 124-3
MAL lost by 7 wickets

MAL suffered a seven-wicket defeat at the hands of West Harrow on Sunday.

Conditions did not favour MAL as they were inserted on a green top with a long, lush outfield that made early scoring very difficult.

Mark Landau and Russell Corin battled hard, putting on 28 for the first wicket before Corin was caught at slip.

Chris Tomaszewski joined Landau and the two fought hard to establish a platform putting on 53, with Landau going through to his half century before immediately nicking behind for 50 (4 x 4, 83 balls).

Tomaszewski followed quickly for 9, and Alex Gold was bowled for 0. Daniel Caplan, a winter signing from London Maccabi Vale, threatened some brief resistance with 12, but the wickets continued to tumble and MAL were dismissed for 123 in 36.1 overs.

Given the amount of movement from the surface 123 looked a respectable score, but with the sun out, and the outfield quickening, it proved to be far short of par.

Yoav Lebens and Tomaszewski beat the bat consistently but there were too many four balls and West Harrow were able to get away to a quick start, putting on 35 before Sanjay was well caught low down by Alex Gold from the bowling of Tomaszweski.

Chivan followed soon after, caught from Yoav's bowling by Daniel Caplan. Akash chanced his arm and struck the ball well and Amit grew in confidence, and this pair took the score to 112 before Michael Klinger picked up a consolation wicket, bowling Akash for 42.

West Harrow reached their target in the 23rd over, on a day in which MAL had no luck, but were definitely below par.

Seven up for Salford

James Masters — Mon, 20 May 2013 11:05:52 +0100

Salford recorded a stunning seven wicket win over Trinity as their bowlers ran riot in Stockport.

Jonny Wineberg led the way with 4-16 as Salford dismissed last season’s cup finalists for just 49 runs in 22 overs.

Daniel Paul’s 3-8 and 3-15 from captain Robert Marks left Trinity in disarray as Salford made light work of Trinity’s batting line-up.

In reply, Salford started slowly and after losing their first wicket with just one run on the board, Elliot
Koffman began to take the game to the Trinity bowlers.

A huge six over mid-wicket signalled Koffman’s intentions, but he was soon trapped lbw for 16 to leave Salford on 19-2 off 17 overs.

That brought Wineberg to the crease and his innings of 15 not out helped Salford over the line with 16 overs to spare.

Laurence Benjamin finished unbeaten on 11 as Salford sent out a warning to next week’s opponents Wilmslow.

Manchester Vets retain title

James Masters — Mon, 20 May 2013 10:28:25 +0100

Manchester Maccabi claimed the MJSL Veterans Challenge Trophy after blowing away the opposition in rampant fashion.

In a three-team tournament, which also included Leeds Maccabi and Sedgley Park Celtic, Manchester won both its group games before easing to victory in the final.

After defeating both Leeds and Sedgley Park in the round robin, Manchester started the final as favourites.

And despite Sedgley Park starting in promising fashion, they had little answer to the Manchester’s attacking prowess.

Rafi Bloom’s fine 20-yard drive gave Manchester the lead, before Mike Sheldon doubled his side’s advantage before the break.

Captain Andy Hatton added some extra gloss to the scorline with a third after the interval as Manchester retained their title.

Historic title success for LML U18's

Mon, 20 May 2013 10:17:41 +0100

WATFORD FRIENDLY LEAGUE UNDER 18 DIVISION
LONDON MACCABI LIONS 6 PANATHINAIKOS 3

The Holy Grail of winning the top division of the u18 Watford Friendly League was finally achieved by this year’s talented u18 London Lions side in dramatic fashion on the final day of the season

As teams entered the final day the league could have been won by any one of four teams in the climax of an incredibly competitive season

Needing a win from their final match against Panathinaikos to guarantee at least a share of the title, the largest crowd of the season stood in anticipation on the touchline at Rowley Lane as the teams took to the pitch

Lions started cautiously with good possession but with few chances created, the relief around the ground was palpable as Michael Kenley netted to give Lions the lead after 15 minutes.

A trademark curler from outside the area soon followed from Adam Arnold and Lions went comfortably 3-0 up on the half hour mark with a sizzling shot from Stanley Offord that the Panathinaikos keeper was unable to keep out.

Lions then switched off and for a 10 minute spell Panathinaikos took control, with Sam Greenberg having to work hard in goal to allow Lions to maintain the lead.

However, an intricate move from the left flank and a decisive finish from the Panathinaikos striker, pulled the score back to 3-1 before Arnold found the net again with a low driving shot from the edge of the area to take the score to 4-1 at half time.

The game seemed all but over 10 minutes into the second half when Arnold completed his hat-trick to push Lions into a 5-1 lead, only for keeper Greenberg to have to leave the field with a hand injury following a reflex save.

Ben Halmer took over in goal and with Panathinaikos throwing caution to the wind, two consecutive goals brought the score back to 5-3.

With 20 minutes still left to play, Lions supporters were feeling decidedly less comfortable until man-of-the-match Arnold spotted the Panathinaikos goalkeeper off his line to chip him from 25 yards to seal a 6-3 victory.

As the final whistle sounded, Lions players and supporters celebrated as captain Levi Levenfiche led his players off the pitch in the knowledge that history had been made at the club to the sound of popping champagne corks and the traditional euphoric chanting of ‘Championes’.

A mile or so down the road Borehamwood Youth were simultaneously battling with Alexandra Park East and by narrowly winning that match with the odd goal in five they were able to match Lions’ points tally for the season ensuring that the league title would be shared between the two clubs.

This match marked a fitting and emotional end to an incredible journey at London Lions for this squad with a number of players having made over 200 appearances in a Lions shirt since starting out as under-8's, and from which six players will be representing the Maccabi GB team at u18 level in Israel this summer.

Lions: (from back row, left to right) Ben Halmer, Zak Skry, Sam Greenberg, Michael Kenley, Sami Zerovabeli, Casey Sharpe, Stanley Offord, Josh Curtis, Rob Cohen

Manchester slump to defeat

James Masters — Mon, 20 May 2013 10:15:21 +0100

Manchester Cricket Club suffered their first defeat of the season after falling 38 runs short in their run chase against Offerton.

Having been set a target of 150 for victory, Manchester were bowled out for just 112 with only Shaya Rabinovitz offering any resistance.

Rabinovitz hit an impressive 52, but lacked support at the other end as Manchester’s innings tailed off in disappointing fashion.

Earlier, Dan Glicher had starred with the ball, taking 3-22 off his eight overs, while David Cohen claimed 2-29.

But the batsmen failed to build on the good work done by their bowlers as Offerton cruised home.

Glenthorne A clinch Masters title

Jeremy Silverstone — Sun, 19 May 2013 21:47:59 +0100

Glenthorne United A ended Brady Maccabi's five-year dominance of the Maccabi Masters Football League title by securing the championship with a 2-0 win over Southgate Harmen.

Strikes from Danny Sugarman and Jason Levy sparked the celebrations for the east Londoners.

Division Two title hopefuls EDRS Stonegrove suffered another surprise defeat as they went down 2-1 against Hendon Harriers.

Goals from David Hyams and Richard Reuben means that any slim hopes EDRS had of winning the championship may now have ended. Martin Seifert registered for EDRS.

Cup winners London Maccabi Lions remain on course for the double after hitting Brady Maccabi B for six.

David Kyte, David Kyte, Lawrence Leigh, Marc Morris (2), Mark Jacob and Simon Barr were the marksmen for the Lions.

Following their victory in the Henry Swerner MMFL Cup Final last week, Lions are assured of at least a play‐off place in the title race, and need just one point from their remaining two games to be confirmed as outright winners.

NOMINEES

LOS BLANCOS)
Josh Cohen (GK) - for his consistent heroics in goal, but also ending the final game with a goal and assist. Not many keepers can rack up those stats
Joshua Caplin (CM) - for controlling the central midfield area and picking the perfect passes to start another LB attack

---------------------

SOUTHGATE HARMEN
Adam Osper (LB) man-of-the-match against Faithfold B. Mr reliable had one of his best games in a black and white shirt. He even managed a nutmeg, pure class
Alex Bull (RW) - "I know you aren't allowed favourites... but I love this kid!"
Ben Murrell (CM) - an incredible performance and a really special hat-trick

Brilliant Blancos are going up

JC MSFL DIVISION TWO
NORSTAR B 1 LOS BLANCOS 5

Los Blancos clinched promotion to Division One with, goalkeeper Josh Cohen marking his last game for the club with a goal from the penalty spot.

Further strikes from Joel Kutner, Benjy Israel and a double from player-manager Adam Hersh saw them pip SPEC FC to the runners-up spot.

There was a nervous atmosphere around John Lyon School Playing Fields as Los Blancos looked for one final win to secure promotion to Division One in front of super sponsors Cohen Arnold chartered accountants (for all your accounting needs!)

The nerves showed as Norstar started the brighter and had the first chance. A header from a corner was destined for the roof of the net until Josh Cohen, in his last Blancos appearance, intervened with his fingertips to tip over the bar.

The rest of the half was dominated by Blancos but no clear chances were made. Aryeh Marks scored with a fantastic 'hand of g-d' replica but was correctly booked and the goal ruled out.

The second half was a different story. Los Blancos were not prepared to fall at the final hurdle and stepped up a gear. Midfield duo Josh Caplin and Adam Waters were running the Norstar midfield ragged and it wasn't long before Kutner brilliantly beat his man on the left of the area before firing across the keeper into the far corner.

Sami Birnbaum was brought down after a surging run into the box. As a reward for dedicated service Josh Cohen stepped up to score straight down the middle in his first ever MSFL goal.

Norstar got themselves deservedly back into the game almost instantly and at 2-1 Blancos had to fight. Hersh, chasing the golden boot, used pace power and panache to beat the stars backline and take it past the keeper for 3-1.

At 3-1 Norstar hit bar and post in a goalmouth scramble, but Blancos survived and didn't look back. Hersh added another equally well taken goal for 4-1 and had chances to grab his hat-trick. Substitute Benjy Israel used all of his fresh legs to run from midfield, beating four men, rounding the keeper and slotting home in goal of the week/season contender!

5-1 was the final score and with champagne flowing Blancos have been promoted to Division One.

Blancos boss Adam Hersh told JC Sport: "We started a little nervously but as we got into the game we started to totally dominate and all that was lacking was a goal to kick us on to a comfortable victory.

"This season has been a very satisfying one with many predicting a mid-table finish at best for LB. We have played some excellent football and fully deserve our promotion spot. Commiserations to SPEC who pushed us all the way."

"It is sad to see some of the Los Blancos founding members moving on to bigger and better things. Josh Cohen, who has been Mr consistent between the sticks and has been one of the top goalkeepers to grace the MSFL for many years. His performances have literally won us games and he will be missed and we wish him much luck when he makes Aliyah in the summer.

"Also to our first club captain Dovid Greenberg who has been a mature head in the changing room and always encouraging to younger members of the squad."

Blancos' Joel Minsky told JC Sport: "It was a cagey first half, but Blancos class told in second. We're promoted to Division 1 at first time of asking."

CHIGWELL SEE OFF NINE MAN THORNES
CHIGWELL ATHLETIC 2 GLENTHORNE UNITED A 1
Glenthorne United's title hopes suffered a fatal blow as they were beaten 2-1 by local rivals Chigwell Athletic at the Met Police Sports Ground.

Two wonder free-kicks from Paul Hizer did the trick for Chigwell.

Fabio Rivieccio scored for Glenthorne who were unable to repeat last week's 2-1 win over Richard Slater's men.

And to make matters worse, Glenthorne had Adam Shafron and Jake Barnett dismissed - both last men on seperate occasions.

"They had a 15-minute spell in second half after their goal, but thankfully we put the game to bed and ended our season with a win."

Glenthorne boss Sam Rosenthal told JC Sport: "We 'can't argue with the sending off's but we still had the chances to win the game, even when we went down to nine men.

"Credit to the boys for a great season, shame that teams pulling out and forfeiting games have decided our fate in the league."

A stunning hat-trick from BEN MURRELL saw Southgate Harmen finish the season on a high after hitting Faithfold B for six to register their eighth win of the season.

Further strikes from Sam Castle, Alex Bull and Josh Franklin ensured outgoing manager Dan Uzan received the perfect send-off.

An emotional Uzan told JC Sport: "The last five years at Harmen have been incredible. It's a special club that was set up by Jon Hirshler, Marc Cohen and Simon Lyons 12 years ago. I have tried my best to keep the team together, to keep them challenging, and most improtantly to have a squad of players we could be proud of."

Danny Caro's Goal of the Week: May 10

Danny Caro — Fri, 17 May 2013 12:58:06 +0100

It was fitting that in the week when David Beckham announced his retirement, Norstar's player-manager scored a free-kick that the great man would've been proud of.

WINNER Phil Peters (Norstar A) - it was an effort that Beckham or even Aviel Schwarz would've been proud of. Peters stepped up to nonchalantly curled a stunning 35-yard free-kick past the wall and into the top corner against Raiders. David Simnock could only stand and admire it

Danny Caro's Quote of the Week: May 10

Danny Caro — Fri, 17 May 2013 12:49:52 +0100

WINNER: Jamie Kyte (Lions B) - "I think today's games, across the league, show why the MSFL Division One is so special. There aren't many leagues across Europe where three teams can win the league on the last day of the season and I'm very proud to be in that league"

------------------------------

- Simon Linden (Blizzard Storm) - commenting on Dan Simons' third goal against Raiders B, he told JC Sport: "The celebration was awful"

- Rob Richman (Raiders A) - "I'm pleased for Phil that, in his last game as Norstar chairman, he managed to score the last Norstar goal, but hopefully he won't be revealing his bare chest in celebration ever again"

- Motty Korman (Hendon B) - "It's been a long season and boys are looking forward to the summer break. Management will be sitting down over next few weeks to discuss how we can improve squad next season"

- Mike Shorvon (Temple Fortune A) - "I think Lions will be disappointed to drop two points, but we deserved something for the effort alone"

- Dan Curtis (Loughton Orient) - "over the second half of the season we have shown that we are a good team and with some hard work in pre-season, and we'll be looking to push on next year and be challenging at the top"

CHIGWELL ATHLETIC vs GLENTHORNE UNITED A
Dan Lassman was Glenthorne’s matchwinner in last weekend’s derby win that finally put daylight between his team and Shirley Park, and he will be looking to shoot down local rivals Chigwell in the team’s final game of the season, a win that they hope will land them the title.

Indeed Glenthorne will hope that local rivals Woodford Wanderers can do them a massive favour and take points off Camden Park in a double-header, but they have a match to win first.

Glenthorne bossed the first half against Chigwell last weekend, but manager Sam Rosenthal was concerned that his old club enjoyed large chunks of possession and left Glenthorne fans biting their nails up to the final whistle.

Ahead to kick-off, Rosenthal told JC Sport: "We're looking forward to another battle. We were pleased to have secured local bragging rights in the league last week and anything else we can get out of Sunday will top off a brilliant 1st year in Division One.

"All credit to the boys, we will go out and enjoy ourselves Sunday come what may."

The top four teams in the division have been the model of consistency, but the same can’t be said of Chigwell. Player-manager Richard Slater started the season in confident mood that he had the players to challenge for a top two finish.

Maccabiah training sessions have meant they haven’t always been at full-strength, but Slater this week offered no excuses for his team’s failure to become serious promotion challengers.

Ahead of the game, he told JC Sport: “It’s been a disappointing end to the season, but hopefully we can finish with a win, although we’re slightly low on numbers for our final game.”

Glenthorne go into the game nice and fresh and I expect them to finish an excellent campaign in style.

CAMDEN PARK vs WOODFORD WANDERERS (DOUBLE-HEADER)
I’m sure there’ll be a drink or two on the line at Faces if Woodford can take points off Camden Park on Sunday.

Leaders Glenthorne are praying their east London rivals will look to make life difficult for a Camden team gunning for the title.

It’s squeaky bum time for Camden right now, with Josh Marks’ troops having dropped points against Harmen last weekend.

They were denied maximum points by a keeper in top form in James Castle and Marks hopes his players find their shooting boots in what are two must-win games.

Guy Marks and Jake Saunders earned Camden a point last weekend, and back-to-back wins on Sunday would lift them two places, guaranteeing a top three finish.

Camden have named a full-strength team for Sunday’s marathon, with Marks telling JC Sport: “There’s a real urgency for the six ponts this weekend.”

Woodford were down to the bare bones in the latter stages against Hendon last Sunday and Marks hopes this is a good omen. They led 2-0 but injuries forced them to finish with just nine men.

Camden have only lost twice at home this season, to Glenthorne and Lions and, as long as they hold their nerve, I’d back them to do just enough in both games, but it’s crucial they play the game rather than the occasion.

-------------------------

FAITHFOLD B vs SOUTHGATE HARMEN
There’s a real feel-good-factor about Harmen at the minute and I’m backing Dan Uzan’s men to finish the season in style against relegated Faithfold B.

James Castle was the star of the show against title-chasing Camden Park last weekend. He produced some top quality saves to earn his team a point in a four-goal thriller. Wing wizard Alex Bull and the evergreen Adam Osper also caught the eye against one of the division’s fancied teams.

The Castles have shown real star qualities since moving to Ashmole and the Harmen heroes will be looking to give keeper James the perfect send-off before he prepares to represent Team GB at the 19th Maccabiah Games.

This has been another steep learning curve for everyone at Faithfold B. Keeper Grant Waissel has needed to be in top form, while Leor Harel has impressed once more. Assistant-manager Ben Lewis believes this is a result of training with the club’s double-winning first team.

Dan Harris has also earned some rave reviews and manager Rob Shooman will face another battle trying to keep hold of him once the summer transfer window opens.

Harmen executed their game-plan to perfection against Camden, and I can see them having too much for Faithfold on the day.

NORSTAR B vs LOS BLANCOS
Sunday is D-day for Los Blancos. Win and they’re up, draw or lose and their destiny would be out of their hands.

Whatever the outcome, it’s fair to say that tears will be shed on Sunday as Blancos keeper Josh Cohen bids farewell to the JC MSFL. Cohen has enjoyed an outstanding final season in goal for the club and no doubt, he’ll be determined to bow out on a high.

Blancos boss Adam Hersh was the hat-trick hero in the first meeting between the teams this season, as the boys in white romped home 8-0. There were also goals for Mikey Mendelsohn, Aryeh Marks, Sami Birnbaum, Adam Waters and Joel Kutner.

Hersh and Kutner were on target again in last weekend’s 4-2 win over FC Team B, and now they are just 90 minutes away from cementing Division One football next season.

I caught up with Hersh earlier in the week and this is what he told JC Sport. “It’s a massive game on Sunday where we hope to end our season on a high and claim a well earned second place.

“The excitement building up to the match is running through the whole squad resulting in nearly a full squad of 18 players making themselves available.

“A win is the target and if our pride, passion and determination is anything to go by then come 12:30 on Sunday the celebrations will be very much underway.”

But any Blancos fans expecting Norstar just to roll over and have their bellies tickled can think again. The Stars are much-improved from the first meeting, and in striker Rob Blackman they have a player who can really hurt them and potentially ruin their promotion party.

Plus, A-team boss and club chairman Phil Peters is also in contention to feature following his wonder goal against Raiders last weekend. He made the headlines for all sorts of reasons last weekend and knowing him as I do, will demand that standards are sky high for the club’s last-ever game in the JC MSFL before the merger with Raiders.

It’s definitely one to watch!

NATHAN HORWITZ CUP FINAL
GLENTHORNE UNITED B 4
EDRS STONEGROVE 0

A man-of-the-match performance from Greg Morris inspired Glenthorne United B to victory in the final of the Nathan Horwitz MMFL Division 2 Cup at Wingate & Finchley.

The midfield maestro ran EDRS Stonegrove ragged in a 4-0 victory, scoring the third goal in an excellent team display.

SEE MATCH PHOTOS

Assistant-player-manager Dave Michaels gave Glenthorne the upper hand with two well-taken penalties in the first half.

Morris capped a virtuoso performance with a goal, with Gary Adams completing the scoring as EDRS suffered cup final heartbreak for the third consecutive season.

Michaels said: "As a team we defended excellently. Our five-man midfield and strikeforce worked very hard and I don’t remember EDRS having a chance in open play."

EDRS had beaten Glenthorne 3-2 in the league last week, but Michaels believes Glenthorne were worthy winners.

"The big, grass pitch suited us more than it did them and they simply couldn’t handle Greg Morris who terrorised them with his pace," said Michaels.

EDRS' Gary Shaw said: “Glenthorne were better but the two controversial penalties decisions knocked us for six."

HENRY SWERNER CUP FINAL
NORTH LONDON RAIDERS 1
LONDON MACCABI LIONS 2

London Maccabi Lions boss Mark Jacob praised his team after their historic victory over North London Raiders at Wingate & Finchley's Harry Abrahams Stadium.

Goals from Marc Morris and Darren Coon helped the Lions become the first team from Division Two of the Maccabi Masters League to win the main cup competition following a hard fought tussle on Sunday afternoon.

SEE MATCH PHOTOS

Regulars at Wingate were delighted to see club legend Marc Morris roll back the years with a vintage performance to steer Lions home.

Morris looked right at home on the pitch he once graced and opened the scoring with a predatory finish to set up his team’s shock win over Raiders. Latching on to a huge clearance from goalkeeper Jeremy Reuben, Morris timed his run to perfection to slip the ball past Raiders keeper Martin Leslie.

Having seen Andy Bloom have a goal ruled out for offside, Raiders drew level in the second half through Gary Cohen, but the Lions won it 15 minutes from time when the impressive Laurence Leigh crossed for Coon to nod home the winner.

Having beaten Division One giants Glenthorne United A, EDRS Stonegrove and holders Brady Maccabi along the way, Jacob praised his team following a superb performance, with Barnett Horwitz named man-of-the-match.

He told JC Sport: "Our experience, professionalism and hard work was the difference.

"We've had a very tough run but deserved the win, It feels incredible to be the first team from Division Two to win the competition given the fact my players are, on average, 10 years older than the opposition."

Raiders boss Richard Sacks said: "As a team I think we played the occasion rather than the type of game we usually play. It was quite frustrating given the excellent performances of late.

"It was quite a new experience for some of our players and I'm sure we will as a group learn from this and move on.

"Fair credit to Lions. They worked hard for the win and experience can make a huge difference in these type of games."

Ready to go that extra mile

Danny Caro — Fri, 17 May 2013 10:54:20 +0100

As many of you will know, rarely has a day gone by that I didn’t mention an injury, niggle or pain since completing the 2001 London Marathon.

Well I can confirm that three operations down the line, and with my latest sporting comeback complete, that will all stop following what I can only describe as an uplifting, no inspiring, meeting with Israel’s most famous Paralympian.

Noam Gershony wasn’t comfortable talking about the day he was involved in a fatal helicopter crash at London 2012, but he gave a warts and all tale to a captivated audience, relieving how he overcame all the odds following an accident that saw his co-pilot killed.

He told me this week that virtually every bone in his body was broken and the memory of two of his closest allies inspired him to come back from the dead and win gold.

Few people know the real meaning of the word pain like Noam. He is an inspiration to us all, a wonderful ambassador for Israel and proof, if ever there was, of the motto ‘impossible is nothing’.

He has overcome every hurdle in life, and done it with great dignity.

The hairs on the back of my neck stood up watching Noam watch himself receive gold at Stratford and break down in tears during Hatikvah, when the enormity of what he had achieved hit home. It has been one hell of a journey.

As for me, I’m back playing cricket and, due to Noam’s words of wisdom, have agreed to participate in the Maccabi GB Fun Run later this month. If you’re able to, I believe everyone should try to go that extra mile.

* North West Neasden A have started the search for a new manager after Daniel Hodes told the club he will be stepping down at the end of the season. Club stalwart Hodes has helped NWN survive a testing campaign in Division One of the JC MSFL.

He said: "My decision isn’t based on the fact that it’s been hard, at times, to get a team out, nor because we have struggled when we have turned up. It’s purely and simply because I can’t bear the heartache and torture of turning up, being so close to the pitch and not being able to get on it.

"My back has deteriorated to near chronic at times and until it gets fixed I’ll be away from Sunday morning football."

* Having stepped down as first-team coach at London Lions, it’s great to see the highly-regarded Darren Yarlett join David Pollock’s squad for the Open Football competition at the 19th Maccabiah Games.

Leeds can challenge for title, says Ullman

James Masters — Fri, 17 May 2013 10:53:21 +0100

Alex Ullmann has urged his Leeds Maccabi 2nd side to target the MJSL league title following their stunning cup triumph.

Ullmann’s team became the first from Leeds to win the Tony Cohen Memorial Cup since the Judeans triumphed in 1987.

And after watching goals from Dan Davidson and Colin Abrahams condemn Crumpsall to a 2-0 defeat at Salford FC, Ullmann is demanding another step up.

Ullman said: "We've got a real chance of challenging for the title next season because when we’re at full strength we can compete at the top."

Team GB stars John Kurrant and Russell Goldstein helped Loughborough University win the BUCS Futsal Championship final following a 7-0 victory over Brighton University.

In a match held over from March due to bad weather, Kurrant and Goldstein continued their preparations for the Open Futsal competition at the Maccabiah Games with excellent performances, in a one-sided contest.

Brighton were indebted to a solid performance from goalkeeper Daniel Lipman, who will join Kurrant and Goldstein in the GB squad in Israel in July. Goldstein capped a fine display with Loughborough’s fifth goal and he set up three others.

Kayal: Israel must believe at Euro finals

Beram Kayal is confident Israel’s youngsters will give a good account of themselves at next month’s Euro under-21 finals.

The host nation has been drawn against England in Group A but the Celtic star believes Israel can progress.

"It’s a good chance for Israel to prove themselves on the big stage," Kayal said. "I missed my opportunity at that age group but it’s important the team plays their own game, enjoys the tournament and believes in themselves.

"It will be a very strong competition and it won’t be easy for Israel but everything is possible. Just look at Celtic – no-one gave us a chance against Barcelona in the Champions League but we proved everyone wrong.

"It’s a great chance for Israeli players to show they have the talent to play in the big leagues."

Having helped Celtic retain the SPL title, Kayal is now concentrating on Israel’s World Cup campaign. "The national team is doing well," he said. "It’s great to be back in the squad after injury and we believe we have a great chance."

A 3-3 draw against strongly fancied Portugal has left them on course for the playoffs as Eli Guttman’s men look to become only the second Israel team to reach the finals.

Kayal said: "It would be the best moment for everyone in Israel if we can do it. It’s been too long and the fans deserve to go to Brazil."

Gershony undecided over 2016 Paralympics

Noam Gershony says he has yet to decide if he will defend his Wheelchair Tennis crown at the 2016 paralympics in Brazil.

Gershony made history in London last summer when he won Israel’s only paralympic gold. But he confirmed this week that he will take a break from the tour to consider his options.

"I need to take some time off as the tour is very demanding," he said. "I’ve had an injury and I’m exhausted by all the training and travelling involved. People want to know if I will defend my title but I’m still undecided as I wouldn’t qualify automatically, even as the champion."

Gershony, who is 30 and lives in Tel Aviv, returned to the capital this week to address an audience about the work of the Tikvot programme which helps Israeli citizens and soldiers wounded in military action rehabilitate through sport.

He said: "Since winning gold, it’s amazing how many people recognise me in Israel. My achievement has really helped encourage young children with disabilities to take up sport, not just tennis but swimming as well."

A former IDF Apache attack helicopter pilot, Gershony also teaches maths to underprivileged children.

Recalling his heroics last summer, he said: "The Paralympics were such a huge event. They were very well-organised and I’m lucky to say I have competed at one.

"I love playing sport; it gives you a feeling like nothing else."

WATFORD FRIENDLY LEAGUE UNDER-NINE SPRING SHIELD
NORTHWOOD 1 BRADY MACCABI 2

A last-ditch effort from Sam Meisel helped Brady Maccabi under-nine Red’s complete the league and cup double after winning the Watford Friendly League Spring Shield.

A dramatic 2-1 victory over Northwood helped the team end their first season in non-Jewish football on a high.

Cheered on by their biggest crowd of the season, a first-half strike fro Ben Barnett put Brady in front against a Northwood team who play two divisions above them.

Northwood equalised three minutes from time but Brady won the match with the last kick of the game when a goal-kick from Sam Meisel looped over the Northwood keeper and into the back of the net.

Brady joint-manager Wayne Meisel said: “For a debut season, these boys have exceeded all expectations. We’ve beaten three teams from higher divisions to lift the trophy. It’s a big achievement.

"We asked the boys to enjoy the game and give it their all - they certainly did that and more. They are a great bunch of boys and a credit to Brady Maccabi and we all look forward to the challenges of next season.”

Co-manager David Tibber commented: “The boys were amazing. They battled every second of the match. We played a formation to contain the opposition in a game that we knew would be tight It was the perfect ending to the perfect season."

1. James CASTLE (Southgate Harmen) - "was outstanding against Camden Park, and I can honestly say that it was the best goalkeeping perfromance I have ever seen on a Sunday morning. James saved a penalty in the first half and made countless quality saves to keep us in the game. He is going to the Maccabia in the summer and on Sunday he showed why"

2. Alex LEWIS (North West Neasden A) - an unsung hero in the draw against Faithfold, hardly put a foot wrong

3. Adam KOSKY (London Maccabi Lions B) - "played in left back for the majority of the matches and was a real class act"

4. Adam OSPER (Southgate Harmen) - typically solid display as he helped keep things together against a rampant Camden

5. Jordan SAPLER (Glenthorne United B) - "back to the Sapler of previous seasons, controlled the Glenthorne defence winning the ball in the air and on the floor on at least 6 or 7 occasions to restrict Redbridge attack to half chances. A composed tough tackling performance"

6. Matt BERKLEY (Redbridge Jewish Care B) - worked his socks off in the derby against Glenthorne B

7. Yoni RAEBURN (Faithfold B) - hat-trick hero in the draw against Neasden, including a rare header!

8. Phil PETERS (Norstar A) - the powerful striker rolled back the years and changed the game with a barnstorming performance capped off by a stunning equaliser, appropriately the final goal of the current Norstar era

9. Daniel LASSMAN (Glenthorne United A) - two goals to win the game against Chigwell

10. Daniel SIMONS (Blizzard Storm) See PLAYER OF THE YEAR

11. Guy MARKS (Camden Park) - capped a stunning display on the left flank with a sublime finish in the draw against Harmen
