—————————————————-
GOALKEEPER
Dave Grossman (FC Team A) – Had to fill in goal at the last minute and made a couple of outstanding saves
DEFENCE
Jason Lindsey (Shirley Park) – Great play at left-back, solid defensively, and always a threat going forward
Yoav Lebens (Hendon United A) – Showed great experience all game firstly in central midfield then when marshalling the defence for the last 25 minutes
Jake Weiner (FC Team A) – Playing his first game in three months and led the line brilliantly
Adam Hakimi (Redbridge A) – Rock-solid at the back, provided the platform for Redbridge as they eased to victory against Camden
MIDFIELD:
Dec Selbo (FC Team A) – Was simply unplayable, the best player on the pitch and a constant threat
Rob Cohen (Brady Maccabi A) – Put in a great man-of-the-match performance, always looked for the ball and pulled the strings throughout the match.
David Esterkin (Norstar London Raiders B) – Capped an all-action, crunching tackles, box to box display with what was ultimately the winner
Joshua Newman (Brady Maccabi B) – Superb performance in a game that meant so much. Everything good Brady did was through him and bagged an excellent winner
ATTACK:
Jonny Blain (Norstar London Raiders A) – Making his comeback – compared as being the most eagerly awaited one since Andy Carroll, and in 20 minutes scored a couple of goals
Sam Castle (Southgate Harmen) – Dominant in the air and capped off his performance with a goal against Hendon. Starting to show that he might have made a good decision to swap the goalie gloves for his shooting boots

Dec Selbo (FC Team A)
PLAYER-MANAGER OF THE WEEK:
Mitch Young (FC Team A)

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
