A deadly double from Mark Wagman saw North London Raiders suffer a major blow in their bid for the title as they went down 5-2 to Brady Maccabi A.
Gideon Gold and Elan Ovits scored for Raiders, but Mark Wagman (2) Tim Frome, Gavin Sherman and Pierre Lotzof ensured that Brady took the spoils and assures them of a top three finish in Maccabi Masters League DIvision One.
Meanwhile, the bottom two clubs – Faithfold and Waldaf Town – battled to a 2-2 draw, with Adam Kaye and Jeremy Asher scoring for Faithfold, and Alex Bourne and James Kaye netting for Waldaf.
In Division Two, the ‘Invincibles’, Maccabi London Lions celebrated last week’s title win with their 13th consecutive league win, dispatching Brady B 5-0 thanks to goals from Michael Abraham (2), David Price, Jonny Steinberg and Jason Harris, with all five goals being set up by Marc Morris, who had a rare week off from scoring himself.
The damage would have been worse, were it not for the heroics of Brady ‘keeper Martin Schultz, who denied Lions at least another eight goals in one-on-one situations.
Geoff Isaacs and Sacha Alter respectively earned Temple Fortune and Marshside a point apiece as their game ended in a 1-1 draw.
