The Gibson brothers of Kinloss Shul, Jonathan, aged 14 who holds a top 100 under-15 ranking in the UK, Jacob, 12, and Benjamin, 9 (No.3 in the UK under 10) beat MGB NSTTL debutants Edgware Adath Yisroel to take the Junior A title.

The Junior B title was won by a strong Mill Hill side.

Mill Hill secured their fifth consecutive success in the Open event.

Mill Hill had earlier won their group of five and followed by a semi-final win over Radlett United. They held their nerve to beat newcomers Wembley Sephardi in the final
