With Leeds needing a point for the title, a strong Maccabi Masters team did their fellow Maccabi Yellow the biggest favour of all by beating the Yorkshiremen 4-0 at Brooklands.

Masters opened the scoring after 10 minutes when Jacob Huller fired home.

With minimal attacks at the other end and Leeds looking jittery at the back, it was no surprise when Morgan Yardley headed home a second leaving an uphill struggle for the visitors.

Maccabi made it 3-0 on 35 minutes when an excellent through ball to Marcus Buchanan was slotted home.
