The second part of the day featured the Open tournament. Maccabi GB, Port Vale, B.F.G and Goldcrown FC contested the semi-finals with Port Vale and Goldcrown making it to the final. Port Vale, lead by European Maccabi Games star James Gershfield, were the eventual winners.

Jo Webber, MGB events co-ordinator, said: “The event was a huge success with more than 700 people engaged throughout the day. In addition, there were a further 300 footballers at the trials to represent Team GB at next summer’s Maccabiah Games, ensuring that more than 1,000 Jewish people participated in Maccabi GB events across the day from the ages of eight to 55.”
