London Maccabi Vale claimed a comfortable nine-wickets win in a friendly against Crouch End.

On a lovely mid-May afternoon, LMV captain Neil Lederman lost the toss and, with head in hands, reported to his players that they were fielding first.

Harry Rothband and Josh Stevens opened the bowling and whilst neither took a wicket in their first spell, both bowled well and didn’t allow the Crouch End openers to get away. Josh, playing his first game for the club at the tender age of 12, already looks like a great prospect and there have been spread bets taken on him opening the bowling for GB at the next Junior Maccabiah.

Being so young he is only allowed to bowl four overs in a spell and was duly replaced by the equally youthful J. Freedman who picked up the first wicket thanks to a smart catch from Adam Spooner.
