North London Raiders made it four out of four with a hard-fought victory over former champions Brady Maccabi A in Division One of the Maccabi Masters League.

A solitary effort from Tony Plaskow was all that separated the teams as NLR extended their lead at the summit.

Waldaf Town came from a goal down to beat Chigwell Athletic thanks to goals from Chigs old boy Lloyd Becker and Alex Bourne. Neil Gallagher had put Chigwell ahead.

Maccabi London Lions edged home 2-0 against Glenthorne United in Division Two.

Strikes from Danny Goldman and Darren Coon took the Lions to the top of the table.
