CYRIL ANEKSTEIN CUP QUARTER-FINAL

NORTH LONDON RAIDERS A 2 MACCABI LONDON LIONS B 4

Two goals from Josh Bloom made it a memorable morning for first division Lions B as they put Raiders to the sword with a top-quality performance.

Marchant admitted his team needed "a tiny bit of luck" to progress, with goalkeeper James Harpin forced into a great save in the first-half. Raiders also hit the post in the first half and the Lions were indebted to a wonderful goal-line clearance by Daniel Behar in the second.
