Young Israelis claim squash silver

Fri, 24 May 2013 14:47:19 +0100

Israel’s under-15 team finished runners-up at a competition in Gerona, Spain.

Having knocked out the favourites and no. 1 seeds France in an earlier round, the young Israeli players drew praise, from all teams and their managers, for their sportsmanship and tenacity in a competition where they succumbed to England in the finals.

It's all change at L'Equipe

Danny Caro — Fri, 24 May 2013 11:00:00 +0100

Josh Lewis and Daniel Cordell will lead L’Equipe FC in the 2013/14 season, the club has announced.

Both players have featured prominently for the club over the past six seasons and have been rewarded with two-year contracts.

A club statement said: "Josh and Daniel have given their all on the pitch and we have no doubt that even more time and energy will go into their new roles off the pitch. We wish them the best of luck."

The new management team replace David Prager who has stepped down after two years in the hotseat.

The statement continued: "David has put a great deal of blood and sweat into this job and the team are very grateful for all his hard work.

"We look forward to seeing his return to the pitch and at least five goals will be expected during the course of next season."

Football in brief: May 24

Brilliant Bohn is the king of Herts

Danny Caro — Fri, 24 May 2013 10:36:26 +0100

Jeremy Bohn warmed up for this summer’s Maccabiah Games by winning the Herts Salver at Aldwickbury Park.

The Team GB captain, who is a member of Hartsbourne Golf Club, produced an excellent finish to edge out Luke Hynes of Porters Park.

Bohn said: "I had a poor 2012 but was pleased to qualify for the Maccabiah team once more, though I knew I would have to improve my game if I am to compete for medals out there.

"As the weather has been so poor this year, hardly any golf has been possible, so I have been concentrating on getting as fit as I can and practising with a new set of irons I acquired."

Bohn, 41, achieved the best score of the day, going round in a two-under-par 69. Starting his round on the 10th tee, he reached the turn in 32 shots (-3) and proceeded to cover the tougher front nine in 37 (+1) to win by one shot and qualify for the County Championship.

He said: “It’s great to win the County qualifier, especially as so many of the top amateur players are 20 years younger and full-time golfers once they leave school.

"Now I hope to compete well at the County Championships in June, as well as continue my form through the season in the Glancy and, most importantly, at the Maccabiah in Israel.

"I played really well, but the key is always to hole some putts and I did that at crucial times."

Omri’s an example to us all

Danny Caro — Fri, 24 May 2013 10:32:52 +0100

In a week when hundreds of young Jewish footballers up and down the country are having trials for new clubs, it’s quite fitting that Omri Altman has been given the nod by Fulham.

Sadly, some of these boys will be told they haven’t made the grade and/or are not good enough. In essence, thanks, but no thanks.

Indeed, Omri was told precisely that by both Arsenal and Liverpool; two clubs who have produced some of the finest young talent this country has ever seen.

Omri’s progress at Craven Cottage is incredibly exciting news for Israel, especially ahead of the under-21 Euro finals. There’s no doubt he’s one of the ones to watch.

As I’ve mentioned before, attack is the one area where the Israel national football team lacks real class, a game-changer if you like.

I recall how there were high hopes for another young Israeli, Ben Sahar, when he joined Chelsea aged 17. He failed to cut it, although in fairness he wasn’t given much of a chance, but the early signs look good for Omri.

Together with the coaches at Fulham, he has transformed his game and if he can be even half the player that Dimitar Berbatov is, that can only be a good thing. Now the club is confident he can take his game up a level.

So there is a lesson for any youngster feeling sorry for themselves if they haven’t made the team, and their friends have. Get your chin up, keep working hard and do your best to prove people wrong.

Much like life, football is all about how you deal with knockbacks. It’s character-building and a case of trying to turn a negative into a positive. Rejection often leads to dejection, but Omri has already shown he has something about him.

Having been turned down by two of England’s top clubs, he could have walked away from the game with his tail between his legs, but he remodelled himself and I can’t wait to see him in action against Stuart Peace’s men next month.

* The JC MSFL season reaches its conclusion on Sunday, with the final game seeing Camden Park looking to wrap up the Division One title.

The team, managed by Josh Marks, requires a point against Temple Fortune, for whom Shai Davidi was recently named Player of the Year.

Glenthorne manager Sam Rosenthal this week pointed out that Camden’s title hopes have been boosted by several forfeited matches, so let’s hope for the sake of the league that they do it in style.

Super Sela on the up

Simon Griver — Fri, 24 May 2013 10:32:03 +0100

Dudi Sela regained his place in the top 100 after winning the Bosun Challenger tournament in South Korea.

The Israeli climbed to 88th place in the ATP rankings and although he has refused to play in the qualifying rounds of the French Open, he hopes to make the main draw as a lucky loser.

Sela will play in the Nottingham Challenger next month followed by the Wimbledon qualifiers.

In 2011, Sela won both competitions in Korea and Nottingham and was given a wild card entry to Wimbledon.

Brilliant Brand fills his boots

Fri, 24 May 2013 10:29:12 +0100

Adam Brand continued his preparations for the 19th Maccabiah Games by blasting an incredible 200 not out to steer London Maccabi Vale to victory in the Middlesex Sunday League.

The Team GB captain came to the crease after 10 overs, joining opening batsman Danny Caro, and together the pair took the game away from Rajput Saraj, adding 261 for the second wicket.

Brand smashed 10 sixes and 25 boundaries in a belligerent innings and passed the 200-mark with an overthrow on the final ball of the 40th over as LMV finished on 329-3.

LMV went on to win by 199 runs, with Jonathan Freedman, Michael Ziff, Jordan Urban and Joseph Greenwall-Cohen each taking two wickets.

LMV captain Neil Lederman said: "It was a brilliant win to kickstart our Middlesex League season, showing that even though the club has put a lot of resources into the colts set-up over the last few seasons, sometimes it takes a couple of experienced players to get the job done.

"It was a great knock from our now senior statesman in the side. We can only hope he takes this form into the Chess Valley League, which we have entered for the first time this year, and on to the Maccabiah where we both hope to be bringing back a medal."

Altman on the up at Fulham

Simon Griver — Fri, 24 May 2013 10:26:54 +0100

Omri Altman has been handed an improved two-year contract by Fulham and promoted to the club’s first-team squad.

The 19-year-old Israeli impressed during 24 appearances for Fulham’s under-21 side this season and over the next two year he will be given an opportunity to prove if he is Premier League material.

A former captain of Maccabi Tel Aviv’s youth team, the Cottagers have converted Altman from an attacking midfielder into a striker. Altman joined the Fulham Academy in 2011 after trials with Liverpool and Arsenal and signed a two-year professional contract on turning 18 early last year.

Altman will be a key player for Israel at next month’s Euro under-21 Championships. Israel hosts the tournament and has been drawn in the same group as England, Norway and Italy.

Altman’s agent Ronen Katsav said: "Omri is continuing to progress and it is very exciting to see a 19-year-old doing so well at a club like Fulham.

"I hope we will be impressed by the progress he is making during the Euros."

Altman himself has said that he has been enormously influenced over the past season by the presence of Bulgarian star Dimitar Berbatov at Craven Cottage.

Hyams the hero for Blizzard Storm

SPEC FC 2 BLIZZARD STORM 4

A hat-trick from GARY HYAMS saw Blizzard Storm stunned third place finishers SPEC FC in a six-goal thriller at Rowley Lane.

Dan Simons maintained his excellent run of form with his fourth goal in two games to seal the win.

SPEC FC's goals came through James Segal and Marc Hecht.

"I look forward to a much better 2013/14 with a few good signings and the club being much more competitive."

SPEC's James Lesner told JC Sport: "Blizzard ran out deserved winners in a game where both teams had relatively little to play for.

"They played some great passing football that left us wondering how they didn't finish higher in the league.

"James Segal scored a screamer, but ultimately it wasn't enough on the night.

"We've finished the season in third place, having not lost against the top two teams, and will definitely come back stronger next season."

Gold helps Lions B finish on a high

JC MSFL DIVISION ONE
NORTH WEST NEASDEN B 1 LONDON MACCABI LIONS B 5

JAMES GOLD was the hat-trick hero as Lions B climbed to the top of the table with a five-star win over Neasden A.

A double from Jonny Cutter sealed the victory as Jamie Kyte’s men laid down the gauntlet to Camden Park who require a point in the final match of the season against Temple Fortune on Sunday.

Alex Lewis grabbed a consolation for Neasden.

Lions boss Jamie Kyte told JC Sport: "What a fantastic way to end the season and what a season it's been. We've had our ups and downs, but in the end we've been consistent, mainly because we have one of the most solid defences in the MSFL.

"It's great that we've got the runners-up spot and if Temple Fortune beat Camden this weekend we could even win the league.

"Camden have been great this season, when you look at their fixture list and you see how many cup games they had and to think they're sitting top now is a great credit to the management and depth in squad."

After the game, hat trick hero and MOM James Gold commented: "It's been an absolute privilege playing with this team. I've never enjoyed my football as much as this season.

"It's fantastic that we've got the chance to get promoted and next year our squad will be even stronger. To all footballers of the Jewish faith, if you're looking for a team that's got spirit, fight and on top of that, a fantastic ground, I urge you to come to our pre season training to see if you want to join a Premiership club."

Kyte added: "It's going to be emotional to say goodbye to Jonny Cutter who's been magical this season. He's off to NYC and we wish him all the best."

Outgoing NWN boss Dan Hodes told JC Sport: "The performance was indicative of our season. We showed glimpses of promise and some good moments, but struggled overall.

"This season hasn't been easy, but the team can hold its head high in its attitude and endeavour and we regrouped around each other after many left the club early on.

"I'd like to thank all the team for representing the club in the best fashion possible and fighting hard to avoid relegation."

Garcia leaves Maccabi Tel Aviv

Simon Griver — Thu, 23 May 2013 12:35:50 +0100

Oscar Garcia has resigned as coach of Maccabi Tel Aviv manager.

Garcia led Maccabi to the Ligat Ha'Al title in his first season in charge, but is reportedly leaving because his wife is unsettled in Israel.

Garcia is tipped to take over La Liga outfit Osasuna if they are not relegated.

Meanwhile, Ran Ben Shimon has been appointed manager of Hapoel Tel Aviv. Ben Shimon won Ligat Ha'Al with Hapoel Kiryat Shmona in 2011/12 and has been in charge of AEK Larnaca over the past season, guiding them to fourth place in the Cypriot League.

TEMPLE FORTUNE A vs CAMDEN PARK
Camden Park and Temple Fortune A are preparing for the league’s final match of the season, with the Camden boys knowing that a point will be enough to see them crowned champions of Division One.

Camden have had an excellent campaign overall, but they need one final push to ensure they pip Lions B to top spot, with Jamie Kyte’s men going above Glenthorne United A following the 5-1 midweek thumping of Neasden.

Josh Marks’ men have only played one of their last six matches, drawing 2-2 against Harmen, with the other five being defaulted with their opponents struggling for numbers.

“We’re extremely pleased with the progress we’ve made over the past two years and are excited at the prospect of playing in the top division next season,” Marks told JC Sport.

“We missed out on the Division Two title last season on goal difference I think and, as it stands, we would again be finishing second best on goal difference again.

“A point on Sunday, however, would win us the league which would be an added to bonus to what has been a great season.

“Our hopes this season were just to gain promotion. Reaching two cup semi-finals was an added bonus, but losing both was horrible. The boys deserve a bit of a celebration so hopefully we can go and do the job on Sunday. Everyone’s fit and looking forward to playing after a few weeks off.

“The last game against Temple Fortune was a heated affair, but I think this week will be just about the football.”

Camden won that match 2-0, with goals from Rob Hershkorn and Richard Silver. Fortune have been pretty inconsistent since then, but they can be dangerous customers on their day, and Shai Davidi will be looking to show Camden why he was recently named Fortune’s Player of the Season.

It’s worth remembering that Fortune have taken four points off long-time leaders Shirley Park this season, so Camden can take nothing for granted in a game I’m predicting goals in.

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."

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.
