Nicky Skone was the hat-trick hero as North London Raiders climbed a point clear at the top of the Maccabi Masters League first division following a 5-1 success over Scrabble.

New signing Ben Simons and Elan Ovits added the gloss for a Raiders team who have played two games more than long-time leaders Chigwell Athletic.

Louis Taylor grabbed a consolation for Scrabble.

Tim Frome fired a treble to help Brady Maccabi A eased home 5-1 against Faithfold.

Ashley Davidson and Kevin Lotzof put the icing on the cake.

Maccabi London Lions maintained their perfect record in Division Two with an eighth successive win.

A second-half double from Michael Abraham gave them a 2-0 win over Glenthorne that extends their lead at the top to eight points.

Adam Soller and John Perloff earned St John’s Wood Tigers a 2-1 win over Marshside.

Sacha Alter had cancelled out Soller's opener but the Tigers were not to be denied, with Perloff chipping home the winner in the final minutes.

Hendon Harriers had Andy Diamond to thank for their first win of the season as his goal gave them a 1-0 victory over Temple Fortune.
