Steven Moss had put Scrabble ahead with a tidy lob, but NLR rallied with three goals in the last 15 minutes. Alex Bourne sealed the comeback to ensure NLR maintained their perfect record and their table-topping position
Maccabi London Lions A moved into second spot in Division One of the Maccabi Masters League after coming out on top in an entertaining goal-fest with Brady Maccabi A.
Goals from Michael Abraham (3), Hadley Silver, James Temple and a penalty from David Kyte earned Lions a thrilling 6-5 win. Scott Warren (2), Mark Wagman, Kevin Lotzof and Gavin Sherman replied for Brady.
A second-half goal from Russell Rich was all that separated EDRS Stonegrove from Brady B.
Similarly, Adam Soller’s goal for St John’s Wood Tigers was sufficient to give them the narrowest of victories over dogged resistance from Hendon Harriers, putting them equal on points with leaders Lions B.
But there were goals galore as Glenthorne overcame Marshside, with Lloyd Nygate netting six of Glenthorne’s seven goals in their 7-3 win, with Sid Shaw providing the other goal.
Jason Rich, Simon Black and Martin Leslie had given Marshside a 3-1 lead, but couldn’t hold on as Glenthorne took command.
