Goals for Sporting came from Uri Steinberg with a couple, Rafi Bloom, Danny Jacobs and Jarod Cohen. David James and Phil Braham both grabbed 2 each for the yorkshire based students.

16/05/2010 - Headlines for May 16 - Feldman Trophy Cup Final

The curtain came down on another MJSL season with one of the best Feldman Cup Finals to date. Haroldeans as League Champions took on Shonn Trophy winners in what was always going to be a very close encounter. Oakhill tended to have more of the possession with Haroldeans counter attacking and so were a perfect recipe for an enthralling contest at Boundary Park today. Photos cam be viewed under Oakhill and Haroldeans in the gallery section.

The tone was set as early as the 3rd minute when Dan Cohen was presented with an early chance for Oakhill but scuffed his shot wide. 2 minutes later it was Josh Rubin at the other end that gave the Oakhill keeper something to think about with a near post effort. After 15 mins Jake Gilbert outpaced the Haroldeans defence only to see his shot dragged into the side netting. 10 minutes later, Josh Rubin opened the scoring with a low shot that was struck well enough but the Oakhill keeper will be disappointed at not keeping the ball out of the net.

On 35mins Oakhill managed to prize out another opening with Cohen just sliding the ball past the post. 5 mins later Jake Gilbert stepped up to take a penalty after a Haroldeans defender was deemed to have blocked a goalbound shot with his hand. Normally clinical in front of goal, but on this occasion his weak shot was well saved by Cross to preserve the lead but only for a further 3 minutes when Alex Kaye turned his defender and curled the ball into the bottom corner to equalise.

After the interval, Haroldeans gained more of a footing in the egame and looked the most likely to score with Oakhill defending deeper than in the first period. On the hour Paul Harris met a cross with a spectacular volley from 12 yards out that bent and dipped but just went over the angle of the woodwork. On 73minutes, the game seem to get a second wind triggered by a superb 25 yard strike by Josh Rubin who powered a shot into the roof of the net to make it 2-1.

Oakhill then came back strongly and the last 10 minutes of the 90 saw Gilbert as a constant threat with 2 shots brilliantly turned around the post by Cross. With just under 3mins to go, the huge following that the students had brought went crazy as a low drive from Gilbert nestled in the back of the merseysiders net to force Extra Time. Most believed this was probably a fair reflection on the football played thus far and penalties looked a likely outcome.

However, with tiredness and fatigue growing, it was going to take a piece of inspiration to break the new deadlock, and true to form it came in the form of a cross and back header from Gilbert who flicked the ball goalwards with Kaye stooping in ahead of the Haroldeans defence to nod Oakhill into dreamland, photo appears at end of Oakhill pics in Gallery. Managers Livingston and Dwek lifted the Feldman Trophy to the delight of their fans and completed a wonderful Cup double. Haroldeans will consider themselves a little unlucky but later collected their Premier Division Trophy and medals to soften the blow.

16/05/2010 - MJSL Awards 2009-10

The Annual MJSL Awards were presented after the Feldman Trophy was captured by Oakhill this afternoon. Haroldeans collected the Joan Collins Premier Division Trophy and Shield from Neil Collins after they edged South Manchester 2nd out by just a single point last Tuesday evening. Special mention goes to Ivan Gee who took over the reins at the start of the season after several years away from the playing side in the MJSL, he joined up with stalwarts Fraser Saville and Tony Cross to provide a formidable management team.

13/05/2010 - Headlines for May 13 - Tony Cohen Cup Final

Republic of Mancunia picked up the Tony Cohen Cup with a relatively easy win over Broughton Park this evening with a 3-0 win. Paul Basger opened the scoring after 18 mins with a harsh penalty awarded for a challenge against Broughtons Jonny Goldblatt. Broughton failed to register a strike on goal in the first half but for all their posession Republic never really caused big problems.

In the second half, the game was a little more stretched with Broughton getting the ball forward as quickly as possible and Rep of Manc biding their time, looking for that opening. Dave Eden managed to breach the Broughton defence on 63mins and cooly slotted the ball home. To be fair to Broughton twice in the last ten minutes they nearly scored, firstly a throughball saw Hirshmann as keeper for Republic collide with another player leaving an open goal but the chance went begging then a late shot went just wide.

Just into added time, it was left to David Eden to secure the Cup with his second and his teams third with an excellent lob from the edge of the area. A final score of 3-0 with the refs man of the match being Jonny Lewis from the winning team who collected the trophy from the Cohen family. Anthony Bloch also collected the MJSL Secretary of the Year award.

11/05/2010 - Headlines for May 11 - Haroldeans take title JUST !

Haroldeans won the title with a 4-2 win over Westdene but full credit to the visitors as they came back twice to make it 2-2 but just couldnt retrieve the 2 goal deficit which the merseysiders had attained just after half time. South will finish second regardless of their result on Sunday against Leeds, but can oly get to within a point of the newly crowned champions. Elsewhere Oakhill beat Sporting 3-1 with Alex Kay getting another 2 goals for the students.

09/05/2010 - Headlines for May 9

Haroldeans just about edged the points against Broughton 2-1 with a double from Adam Cross after the visitors had taken the lead. This means that the merseysiders are 1point clear of South Manchester Maccabi 2nd and both have a game remaining. Haroldeans host Westdene 1st to win the title on Tuesday evening, if they dont get 3pts then South can take top spot by beating Leeds next Sunday.

Leeds won away at Mcr Maccabi 5-3 with the MJSL Top Scorer Oli Grant notching another brace, Steve Garman also scored a couple with Daniel Klapisch getting a double for the home team.

06/05/2010 - Headlines for May 6 - Shonn Cup Final

Oakhill lifted the Shonn Trophy this evening in an exciting Cup Final which was not settled until the last 5 minutes of the game. Mcr Maccabi 3rd went close with several corners and a couple of half chances in the opening exchanges, also hitting the crossbar. Oakhill perhaps played the better football and were always likely to get the breakthrough which they did on 38 minutes when Jake Gilbert was left unmarked and volleyed home spectacularly from 10 yards. Shortly after the ball was bundled home after a goalkeping error leaving Ben Horn to make it 2-0 before half time.

In the second half, Oakhill tended to threaten only on breakaways as Maccabi pushed more and more forward with their forwards gradually gettinr behind the Oakhill defence. 3 corners were cleared off the line and also Richler-Kleiman hit the post from an acute angle, eventually the pressure paid off with Greg Louca looping a header over the stranded keeper. This gave Maccabi hope with barely 10 mins left but as they tried to get the equaliser they left gaps and it was no surprise that the students sealed the match, even if against the run of play, Jake Gilbert striding clear to bury the ball in the bottom ight hand corner. Oakhill received the trophy for a third time in its history from Mike Shonn.

04/05/2010 - Headlines for May 4

27/04/2010 - Headlines for Apr 27

Haroldeans won their game in hand over South Manchester by beating Broughton 3-1 and put 4pts daylight between the teams as both now have 3 games remaining, one of which is against each other although South on paper have the harder run in facing Leeds and Oakhill as well. The merseysiders face Broughton and Westdene 1st to complete thir schedule.

Oakhill continued their winning streak and ran out 7-4 winners over Westdene 1st although at one stage it was 3-0 very early on to the students then 4-3 to them just after half time following a mini fightback from Westdene.

26/04/2010 - Headlines for Apr 25

Yesterday it was a different story for the merseysiders as Oakhill beat them 4-3 over in Liverpool to ensure Haroldeans cannot make a clean sweep of trophies thise season. Josh Rubin scored a hatrick for the home team whilst Alex Kay matched this for the students.

In the league it is hotting up as South Manchester Maccabi 2nd look like the only feasible challenge to Haroldeans as they gained another 3pts with a 6-2 win over Crumpsall with Ben Tyer getting a hatrick. This leaves them a point behind having played a game more though.

Mcr Maccabi 3rd beat Leeds J-Uni 3-0 and Westdene 1st edged Sporting in an exciting 5-4 battle to complete the update. Tomorrow nights game in Leeds has been cancelled due to Sporting being unavailable and the points have been awarded.

18/04/2010 - Headlines for Apr 18

In the Feldman Semis, Broughton got well and truly beaten 8-0 by Oakhill on their return to the MJSL after their Easter break. Daniel Cohen scored 4, Jake Gilbert 3 and Alex Bloch completed the scoring. An nerve jangling game took place at Brooklands as title favourites took on Mcr Maccabi 3rd and just about edged proceedings with a 1-0 win so the merseysiders will now face the students at Boundary Park on May 16.

In the League, South beat Crumpsall 4-0 with Ben Tyer smashing a hatrick and moved to within 1point of Haroldeans. Republic maintained their challenge with a 2-1 win over Leeds J-Uni and went level at the top but have played 4 games more and Westdene 1st beat Sporting 2-0 with a two goal strike from Ben Rose.

16/04/2010 - Headlines for Apr 15

11/04/2010 - Headlines for Apr 11

In the top of the table clash, Republic of Mancunia took Haroldeans all the way and just missed out by the odd goal in 3 leaving them now on the same points but the merseysiders have 4 games in hand to catch up. South Manchester Maccabi 2nd won 2-1 in Leeds with Si Mattison getting both for travelling Mancunians and will still believe they have a chance as they are just 1point behind Haroldeans having played just one more game but still have to play each other on May 2.

Over in the Cups, Broughton beat Sporting by 1-0 with a Rafi Groskopf goal in the Tony Cohen Semi Final but Sporting will rue their penalty miss by Jamie King when it was goalless. In the Shonn Semi Final, Mcr Maccabi 3rd knocked out the holders Westdene 1st quite comfortably with a 4-1 scoreline and will face the winners of Haroldeans v Oakhill to be played on April 25.

04/04/2010 - Headlines for Apr 4

With Leeds and Oakhill not in action, the other title hopefuls tried to debit some points but there was not many goals about. South Manchester Maccabi kept up the chase with an excellent win over Westdene 1st who look to be faultering, Si Mattison grabbed a couple for South. Republic won again by edging out Mcr Maccabi 3rd by the odd goal in 3 and Paul Basgers double strike kept their hopes alive.

Broughton and Crumpsall drew 2-2 with Yossi Saunders getting a brace for Crumpsall. Haroldeans had to swith their venue to Manchester due to lack of pitches over Bank Holiday weekend in Liverpool. Sporting gave them a few frights but the favourites managed to come through unscathed with a 3-1 win, Sam Roberts getting a couple.

Republic remain top with Haroldeans second, South in third and do not rule out Oakhill in fourth, but the games in hand for the merseysiders may prove to be the difference later this month. Next week will determine if Republic have a realistic chance as they travel to Liverpool in the knowledge they are the only team to inflict a defeat on the Haroldeans so far this season.

28/03/2010 - Headlines for Mar 28

South Manchester Maccabi will also have one eye on the title sitting in third place as they disposed of Westdene 1st 4-2 with a brace from Alex Esterkin. Both student teams are unavailable at this time of the season so these were the only 3 games played today. Haroldeans narrowly lost in the Morrison Trophy 2-1 to Faithfold. Josh Rubins got a late goal but they had fallen victim to 2 rash challenges and likewise penalties from the southerners.

21/03/2010 - Headlines for March 21

Republic of Mancunia are emerging as the suprise package of the season and today they inflicted a first defeat on Haroldeans and potentially opened up the title race with many big games still remaining in the last 6 weeks of the season. They beat the merseysiders 2-0 with Jonny Lewis and Anthony Bloch getting the goals.

Oakhill also fresh from their recent 7 a side Trophy win, beat Westdene 1st convincingly 4-0 thanks to a Daniel Cohen hatrick and Jake Gilbert. Sporting and Crumpsall drew 1 each which gave Crumpsall their first point of the season and but for letting a goal in the last ten minutes would have picked up all 3pts.

Finally in the rearranged Feldman Quarter Final, Leeds perhaps suprisingly lost 3-2 in extra time after drawing 2-2 at 90 mins with Broughton Park. The Yorkshire students had 2 players sent off but Broughton progressed fantastically to the Semis where they now face Oakhill. Manchester Maccabi 3rd play Haroldeans in the other Semi-Final.

15/03/2010 - Headlines for March 14

Republic of Mancunia have certainly come a long way from last season and now sit joint top on points with Haroldeans and whilst the title favourites have 4 games in hand, they still have to face each other twice which could make the end to the season very interesting for them both and other teams in with an outside chance such as Leeds, South Manchester, Oakhill and Westdene.

Republic swept aside bottom of the table Crumpsall by a scoreline of 6-1 with double strikes from Dave Eden and Paul Basger. Both student teams won their games, Leeds beating Sporting 3-1 with Oli Grant getting a brace whilst Oakhill narrowly beat Mcr Maccabi 3rd in the rearranged game and Alex Bloch scored twice with Daniel Klapish getting 2 for Maccabi in reply.

The 2 league game cancellations noted in a previous news item have been included in the table update so South Manchester Maccabi 2nd and Oakhill have both been awarded 3pts and 0-0 scorelines registered.

3 games survived the weekend weather and each of them provided an exciting encounter with a total of 23 goals being scored on the day.

Game of the day saw top of the table and title favourites Haroldeans draw their 2nd game of the season with Westdene 1st, previous dropped points was against last seasons champions Leeds. Amazingly this game ended goalless, remarkable for the MJSL, with the home team at Outwood missing a succession of chances, the Merseysiders then may have nicked the points with their minimal chances but Westdene will still feel hard done with a justified penalty appeal that went unpunished in the dying minutes. Both had to settle for a single point in the end.

In the Shonn Trophy, a solitary goal from Anton Radivan saw Sporting knock out Broughton 1-0 whilst Westdene 2nd were comprehensively beaten 7-2 by South Mcr 2nd with a couple of goals each from Ben Tyer and Gary Freeman. The Shonn Quarter Finals line up is now, Crumpsall v Oakhill, Sth Mcr 2nd v Haroldeans, Sporting v Mcr Maccabi 3rd, Westdene 1st v Leeds J-new Uni.

In the league, despite the recent rain, all 3 games survived and Haroldeans stayed on top keeping up their good run by beating Oakhill 3-1 with Paul Harris grabbing a brace. Elsewhere Leeds are clearly making a fight of it after an indifferent start and moved in to second position after a 3-1 win over Rep of Mancunia, whilst Mcr Maccabi 3rd managed to get the better of Crumpsall with a 2-0 victory.

Finally in the National Trophy, the biggest shock possible occurred as Mcr Maccabi 1st were humbled out of the competition at the first round as they were superbly beaten by South Mcr Maccabi 1st who now will face Mcr Maccabi 2nd in the next round.

15/11/2009 - Headlines for Nov 15

The big clash of the day saw Haroldeans travel to reigning champs Leeds J-new Uni to test their title credentials and at the end of the match it was honours even as they drew 1-1 and perhaps their other rivals all benefitted on this occasion with credit to Leeds who are the first team to take a point off the merseysiders.

Elsehere in the league, Mcr Maccabi edged out Broughton with a 2-1 win and Westdene 2nd beat Crumpsall 4-2 for their first victory of the season. Westdene 1st and Sporting saw their game postponed due to Outwood being unplayable.

In the Peter Morrison Trophy, Republic of Mancunia won by the odd goal in 3 over Oakhill at Frederick Rd, Adam Kaye and Stu Goldwater were the scorers whilst Dan Cohen got Oakhills. Rep of Manc progressed to the next round which will see them travel to Haroldeans on Dec 6th for a place in the National last 16.

Westdene 1st will host either Broughton Park or Leeds J-new Uni whilst the only tie with both MJSL teams is Haroldeans against Republic of Mancunia.

On Dec 20, Mcr Maccabi 2nd await the winners of the Sth Mcr Maccabi 1st v Mcr Maccabi 1st game. This will produce 4 winners who will go forward to the National last 16 probably to be played in February and into the hat with 12 southern teams.

In the league, Leeds J-new Juni also narrowly lost 3-2 albeit a fighting comenback ensued in the second half with the score at half time 0-3 to a very much under strength Westdene who now move to within 3pts of top spot held by Haroldeans. It was a tempestuous affair with many inappropriate comments made during and after the match which saw Leeds manager red carded after the final whistle.

01/11/2009 - Headlines for Nov 1

Leeds hit 13 against Westdene 2nd with Steve Garman, Oli Grant, Ben Solloshi and Dan Pletan all getting hatricks and that made it 25 in last 2 games after hitting 12 against a depleted Oakhill last Wednesday. Elsewhere Rep of Mancunia beat current league leaders South Manchester 2nd by 4-1 and Rob Jacobs grabbed a hatrick in that one.

Sportings trip to Merseyside was called off due to the pitch and will be rescheduled at a later date but their opponents and intended hosts Haroldeans went top without playing due to the Sth Mcr defeat.

28/10/2009 - Midweek result

Oakhill started well and held reigning champs Leeds J-New Uni who had 10 men to a goalless first half - nearly. A last minute penalty in the first half gave the Yorkshire students the edge, however, the second half saw Oakhill end the game with just 8 players due to injuries and with a 2 man advantage, Uni won by a mammoth 12-0 with Oli Grant grabbing 5 and David Cohen bagging 4. The return game is in a fortnights time.

25/10/2009 - Headlines for Oct 25

18/10/2009 - Headlines for Oct 18

Just like in the Premier League, it was a week of massive shocks in the MJSL as the reigning champions and last season's double cup winners both lost unexpectedly. Pride of place must go to new boys Broughton Park who went to Yorkshire and not only won but hammered an under-strength Leeds 5-1 with Mike Gatswirth grabbing a couple. Similarly a marvellous victory for Rep of Mancunia who recorded their best ever scalping by beating well fancied Westdene 1st by the odd goal in 5 with Jonny Jacobs scoring twice. Also Oakhill faultered and drew 2-2 with Mcr Maccabi 3rd who grabbed a last minute equaliser whilst Oakhills both strikes were own goals.

Haroldeans are beginning to look a good bet as they convincingly smashed 7 past Crumpsall with Eric Lewis getting 2 plus 5 others getting their name on the scoresheet. Finally South Manchester kept top spot as they beat Sporting 5-2 with Marc Conway getting a hatrick.

18/10/2009 - MJSL Council and Exec Meetings - Oct 08

All are reminded of Thursday 22 Oct as being the next Council and Exec Meetings with 8pm start at Bury Shul. First on the agenda will be National Cup Draws for both Junior and Senior sections. Once the draws have been made, we should be able to release all fixtures right through to the end of the year as the National matches will determine what league games can be played on the various dates. For the record the Northern Zone Morrison dates are confirmed as Nov 15 and Dec 6.

Other news sees Oakhill scheduled to play Leeds on Oct 28 with the return game a fortnight later, both games being played on Wednesday afternoons at Frederick Rd so the student teams catch up on games before it gets too dark to complete them in late Nov and Dec.

Frederick Rd on Sundays will in the future, possibly have a rugby game on pitch 4 on a Sunday morning with use of toilets being allowed of course for their participants although MJSL have full control of the dressing rooms in agreement with Salford Council.

Finally the correct name for Leeds is now Leeds J-New Uni as confirmed by West Riding FA.

27/09/2009 - Headlines for Sept 27

Oakhill could only take a point from a much improved Rep of Mancunia as they shared 6 goals at Frederick Rd. Current league leaders South Mcr 2nd lost for the first time by the odd goal in 3 to Haroldeans who made it 2 out of 2 victories. Manchester Maccabi 3rd convincingly beat Sporting by 5-1. Due to Holy days, there are no games on the next 2 weekends.

Salford Council apologise for the groundsman not surfacing today at Frederick Rd and a mix up in communication on scheduled games held there, meant that there was no security either - apologies from MJSL.

14/09/2009 - Referees - Club responsibilities

This is a reminder of our league guidelines regarding referees / match day procedure. We do not want to hand out any fines so this is the last warning for everybody. If you are a secretary then please advise your person in charge on a Sunday.

1. The HOME team must confirm a Sunday game with referee and opponents no later than Thursday evening before the weekend of the game, ideally you should confirm as early in the week as possible making sure there are no kit clashes / advise of pitch location.

2. The HOME team MUST give the £25 match fee to the referee PRIOR to the game in all instances without exception. The referee has the authority not to start the game till money is paid and can subsequently hold the home team responsible for a late kick off as well. The rules allow for fines accordingly.

3. The referee has a responsibility to report any kit discrepancies (regardless of how minor the detail) and a fine will be levied in due course, as well as a duty to advise of any late kick offs, again a fine can be imposed if one/both teams is/are to blame.

No further allowances will be given to any team including those not having played yet. Take this as the amnesty day and from now on you know what to expect.

13/09/2009 - Headlines for Sept 13

South Manchesre Maccabi 2nd just about made it 4 out of 4 wins as Michael Basger notched a winner in the last 5 mins against Rep of Mancunia who were unlucky not to come out with a point.

Westdene 1st v Mcr Maccabi 3rd was postponed due to pitch conditions at Outwood.
Next week sees Haroldeans travel to Manchester again to play Mcr Maccabi 3rd, South host Rep of Mancunia. Then its Crumpsall and Broughton Park and the Westdene teams in what could be considered by some as 2 derbies.

18/05/2009 - 7 a side results

Crumpsall again lifted the Mike Samberg Israel Trophy with a win over a gallant Haroldeans. Credit to Zevi Saunders as he rallied his team to retain their trophy with a near perfect record througout the competion. Crumpsall won 3 and drew 1 of their 4 Group 2 games finishing top on 10 pts. Haroldeans as it happens were the only team that never lost to Crumpsall, albeit at the Group stage. Haroldeans had won 2 and drawn 2 with Sporting being their other drawn game seeing them into runners up spot on 8pts. Sporting came close in 3rd followed by Roys Rovers in 4th on 2pts and Westdene A bringing up the rear on 1pt.
Group 1 saw a very exciting group as it was not settled till the last kick of the last game. Oakhill had raced away with 3 straight wins and were guaranteed a place in the semis with 9pts whilst Westdene C were sitting pretty having beaten their Westdene B colleagues in their last match giving them 7pts over the B teams 6. Leeds had drawn to Westdene C and lost to Westdene B needed to beat Oakhill by 3 clear goals to sneek into the Semi and thats just what they did with a 5-1 victory.
The Semis saw the Winners and Runner Up crossover from each group with Oakhill losing 4-1 to Haroldeans and yet again Crumpsall causing a suprise as they swept past Leeds J-Uni 3-1. the handicap system had been used as in precious years and Crumpsall just had a single goal advantage over their rivals who had finished higher in the actual 11 a-side league.
The Final officiated by Larry Troot ended with Crumpsall beating Haroldeans 3-2 in the game plus their extra goal so a final score of 4-2 and players and officials received their medals with photos available through "Photos" channel on the MJSL toolbar.

18/05/2009 - Photos problem

There is a website problem currently which is being looked into so that recent photos can be downloaded - many apologies.

16/05/2009 - Shonn Cup Final

We believe history was created on Thursday evening when we were entertained by the first ever goalless cup final in the MJSL, even extra time could not separate the two top teams so it went to dreaded penalty shoot out where Westdene 1st edged the contest 5-3 with the final penalty being scored by Raffi Bloom. Leeds keeper had been outstanding throughout and got his hands on 2 of the Westdene penalties. The game seemed to erupt after half an hour when Manager Marc Hecht was sent off for foul and abusive language directed at an assistant referee disagreeing with his decision. Worst followed as a member of the dugout was also sent to the stands. All this happened after a tame start, but a full blooded contest ensued from then on. Leeds had hit the bar on 20 minutes and this was the only worthwhile shot of the first half.
The second half saw Leeds for the most part defend their territory like lions as Westdene pushed and pushed but could not break down the tean men. Other than a few brief attacks, Leeds held firm on the edge of their own area. Extra time saw the most action as there were at least 4 clearances off the line be it from corner, free kick or superb save fron the yorkshire custodian between the posts. Even in the last minute, twice the ball was inches from breaching the Leeds goal and so penalties took the stage. All players scored but Leeds player of the year Alex Singer (a Mancunian) was unlucky as his was saved which left the 5th and all important penalty to Bloom who took his shot with great aplomb. It was left to Jonny Alexander once again to lift the Shonn Trophy following their Feldman Cup success a fortnight ago. Photos will be available shortly.

16/05/2009 - 7 a side update

With two teams dropping out - Rep of Mancunia and Mcr Maccabi 4th - there will be 10 teams taking part tomorrow.

Those bringing nets and corner flags must have them in place by 10.15am. All proceeds go to charity and lets hope the rain keeps away !

13/05/2009 - Midweek update

Last night Crumpsall got over their Feldman Cup Final defeat from Sunday by beating South Manchester Maccabi 2nd at Salford City FC. It was 2-0 at half time with Mark Shloime Friedman being Crumpsalls star slotting home twice in similar fashion with low drilled shots into the bottom left corner. A further goal to complete his hatrick made sure that Crumpsall won the trophy that has been sponsored for the longest time in MJSL history currently. Well done to Zevi and the team whilst Souths crop of youngsters and experience certainly played their part with only some excellent saves from Huddy Lieberman preventing a comeback.

03/05/2009 - Headlines for May 3

In the league Oakhill beat South Manchester 6-1 with Ash Burns and Sacha Nussenbaum both grabbing a brace.

The Feldman Cup Final was easily won by Westdene 1st who smashed 7 past Crumpsall with just 1 in reply. The game was all but over after the first half hour with Westdene 4 goals to the good and having signalled their intent when after just 5 mins Ben Rose hit a free kick against the Crumpsall bar.

The opening goal came after 10 minutes when a Jonny Alexander corner found its way to Dan Selwyn who scored clinically with a low shot. Raffi Bloom raced away 5 minutes later and drove the ball home making it 2-0, then Adam Leker hit a free kick which was deflected in at the near post by a Crumpsall defender. On the half hour Dave Eden struck a splendid 25 yarder and more or less sealed the victory, Crumpsall did have a goal disallowed earlier with an offside decision going against them or the ball had already gone over the dead ball line.

The second half started similarly to the first half and on 48 minutes a 5th goal was scored by Dan Amran with Dave Eden adding an excellent 6th just ten minutes later. Shortly after Crumpsall seemed to get their act together as Westdene perhaps took the foot off the gas slightly and a series of half chances may have seen a couple of goals go in then Moishe Cohen finally got reward for their team endeavour making it 1-6. Crumpsall then had another goal disallowed for offside which prompted westdene to just go up the other end and pop in a 7th and final goal thanks to a second from Bloom.

The game was officiated well by the the youngest official in the MJSL Eytan Haylon ably supported by stalwarts Sam Bernstein and Rob Zemmell. The Feldman family was represented by Mel and Daniel and for the 11th season presented the medals with Jonny Alexander lifting the trophy as the winning captain. Crumpsall will have a second bite of the cherry on Thursday evening in the Tony Cohen Final when they meet South Manchester Maccabi 2nd.

Elsewhere it Westdene Reserves who overcame Sth Mct Maccabi 2nd with a thrilling 5-4 victory and Sporting were awarded the points as Rep of Mancunia were unable to field a team. Controversy ensued in the other match that was played between Roys Rovers and Crumpsall as the game was abandoned with about 5 minutes to go due to an incident that saw an ambulance attend to Yossi Saunders who was involved in an altercation with Leon Huller from Rovers - after a tackle there was a coming together which saw ref Mike Cohen send Huller off and with the injured Saunders still on the pitch, the game could not be completed - a report will be sent to the Executive and Manchester FA with no decision on the result as yet; at the time it was 3-2 to Rovers.

In the Tony Cohen semis it was Crumpsall who progressed easily beating Westdene Reserves 8-2 with Uri Steinberg scoring twice and South Manchester Maccabi 2nd also progressed beating Rep of Mancunia narrowly 2-0 with the last goal coming in the final minutes. New fixtures have been emailed to club secretaries and there have been changes to games over the next 3 weeks. The website is fully up to date for March games now.

01/03/2009 - Headlines for Mar 1

Mcr Maccabi 4th failed to field a team at home in the Tony Cohen QF against South Manchester Maccabi 2nd and the game is awarded to the away team. In the league, there maybe an unexpected twist in the title race yet, as the undefeatable Leeds J-Uni came unstuck and lost by the odd goal in 5 to second placed Westdene 1st - the first time the yorkshire based students have lost 3 pts. Interestingly the Feldman SF in April sees these two teams pitted against each other again. The main threat may actually come from elsewhere as Haroldeans are best placed to give it a go as they beat Westdene Reserves 5-0 and moved into 3rd but have 8 games still to play and a maximum 52 points available. This means Leeds would need 7 pts officially to secure the title from their remaining matches, providing the merseysiders won all their oustanding games. A quirk of the fixture list sees Leeds and Haroldeans meet next Sunday. Finally, Crumpsall and Oakhill played out a very rare MJSL 1-1 draw at Frederick Rd following last weeks 2-1 Feldman QF Crumpsall victory.

22/02/2009 - Headlines for Feb 22

Rep of Mancunia cancelled their match at Leeds on Friday so the game has been awarded to the potential MJSL champions. In the Feldman Quarter Finals there was a big suprise as Oakhill went out narrowly 1-2 at the hands of Crumpsall who now have a great chance of making the Final given that South Manchester Maccabi 2nds also progressed with a 5-1 win over Mcr Maccabi 4th. This means they will meet in one Semi with Westdene 1st playing Leeds J-Uni in the other. In a rearranged league game Roys Rovers just lost out 4-3 to a now second placed Westdene 1st and finally Haroldeans beat Westdene Reserves 7-3.

15/02/2009 - Update on Roy's Rovers cancelled matches Jan 11-Feb 1

Firstly, Westdene 1st have been awarded the Feldman QF tie which Roys Rovers failed to fulfil on Jan 25 and as a result their league game from Mar 22 has been brought forward to cover Feb 22 - Rovers will play Westdene 1st at Frederick rd. This decision is subject to any appeal that maybe lodged in the next week. Roy's Rovers league game away on Feb 1 to Haroldeans was awarded to the Merseysiders. Roy's Rovers home game against Haroldeans is rescheduled to Mar 15 following the pro Israel march in January.

15/02/2009 - Headlines for Feb 15

In the league, Rep of Mancunia jumped off the bottom as they beat Westdene Reserves quite easily 6-1 as Stu Goldwater grabbed a hatrick. In the Shonn Trophy Quarter Finals, Westdene 1st polished off Sporting easily 7-0 with Moishe Hasid getting three, Leeds disposed of Crumpsall 7-1 with Josh Rubin getting a hatrick and Oakhill managed to beat Haroldeans 4-2. In the remaining match, South Manchester took Roy's Rovers to penalties after coming back from 3-1 down in normal time then 4-3 down in extra time, but to no avail as Rovers went through with penalty shoot out.

08/02/2009 - Headlines for Feb 8

All games were cancelled today and a new fixture list has been distributed for games up to the end of March. All Secretaries are requested to use VERSION 19 and the website is now fully updated as of midday on 8th Feb 09.

01/02/2009 - Headlines for Feb 1

The 4 league games that were played saw a feast of goals - 34 in total with all predictable outcomes. Leeds march to the title seems to be relentless with another resounding win, this time they smashed 8 against Sporting JLGB with Elliot Wallis getting a hatrick. Oakhill won overwhelmingly 7-1 and Dan Cohen grabbed a hatrick against Westdene Reserves. Westdene 1st hit 9 without Republic of Mancunia managing a reply, Jordan gold went nap bagging 5 of them. Zev Landsman scored 4 and Yossi Saunders 3 in Crumpsalls 8 against Maccabi 4th who only got one themselves. Roys Rovers could not field a team against Haroldeans and the points have been awarded to the Merseysiders.

25/01/2009 - Headlines for Jan 25

18/01/2009 - Headlines for Jan 18

3 league games took place today and pride of place goes to Westdene Reserves who recorded their first victory as they beat Rep of Mancunia 3-1 with Daniel Rose scoring twice, this sent their opponents to the bottom of the table. Elsewhere Sporting were well worth their 1-0 lead but somehow contrived to lose 5-1 to Mcr Maccabi 4th as Jonny Lapidus grabbed a couple in the second half. Finally Leeds returned from their Xmas break and found themselves a goal behind to reigning champions Roy's Rovers but a very good second half retrieved the situation and they ran out 3-1 winners and what was their 13th win out of 14 games. In the Morrison, Westdene 1st squeezed through 2-1 against a spirited Crumpsall side, the winnner coming with 4 minutes to go and Westdene will be the sole MJSL representative in the National Last 16. Mcr Maccabi 1st beat their 2nd team 3-1 and Leeds Maccabi beat South Mcr Maccabi 3-0 to also qualify.

14/12/2008 - Headlines for Dec 14

With everyone playing catch up to Leeds who completed their first half of the season top of the league, it was a good day for the next 4 best placed teams as they all won convincingly none more so than Oakhill who signed off for their winter break by thrashing South Manchester 2nd 11-1 and Yishai Last notched 5 goals himself. Roy's Rovers won 4-0 against Mcr Maccabi 4th, Haroldeans slammed 8 past Republic of Mancunia with Eric Lewis getting 3, Westdene 1st beat Sporting 6-3 with a hatrick from Dan Amram. Next week is the last set of games till the first week January.

07/12/2008 - No games today - all cancelled

All pitches were deemed unplayable this weekend.

30/11/2008 - Headlines for Nov 30

Leeds again proved why they are champions elect as they disposed of Haroldeans with relative ease by 7 goals to one, Josh Rubin grabbed a hatrick and Alex Hirscman a brace. Oakhill are in pusuit as they easily beat Crumpsall 6-0 whilst reigning champs Roy's Rovers faultered drawing 3-3 with Sporting, who were 2 up at one stage - again !

27/11/2008 - Midweek game

Leeds beat Oakhill 9-2 last night leaving Leeds having played 12 league games and won 11 so far. Oakhill have now played them twice and conceded 17 goals but will be in the knowledge they dont have to face them again. As it happens Oakhill lie just 2nd to leeds but with half their points, albeit having played 3 games less. With the students non term times coming into play other teams will catch up their league games in the new year.

27/11/2008 - MATCH CARDS - signing by players

Please be aware that any player not having signed the match card and have played in the game at some point is deemed ineligible. We have received too many match cards this season without the full compliment of signatures which is an actual basic requirement to ensure that all teams are playing by the rules with registered players. No excuses will be allowed that it was the home teams delay, the ref didnt give you a chance or you arrived late. DO NOT ALLOW A PLAYER TO ENTER THE FIELD OF PLAY WITHOUT HAVING SIGNED THE MATCH CARD - if a kick off or a substitution is delayed then so be it. We cant warn teams any more without taking punitive action and all officials have been told to heed these words.

23/11/2008 - Headlines for Nov 23

Two draws, a great comeback, 100% record broken and a sending off were the order of the day in the MJSL. Firstly the only game at Frederick Rd saw reigning champions Roy's Rovers take on potential champions elect Leeds J-Uni and with goals at a premium, a 1-1 draw was perhaps expected with Green scoring for the students initially but within minutes Huller had equalised midway through the second period. An equally good game was played at Outwood where the final outcome was a 2-2 draw, Oakhill led at the break 2-1, Westdene missed a penalty and hit the woodwork several times but managed to grab the equaliser. Sporting JLGB yet again stormed into a first half lead, this time 2 goals over Mcr Maccabi 4th but again the second period saw a full turn around as Maccabi edged it by the odd goal in 5. Crumpsall once again failed to perform against a lower placed team going down 3-2 to South Mcr Maccabi 2nd although manager Zevi Saunders received a red card for a professional foul so it wasnt going to be easy to retrieve the game after finding themselves 3-1 down. The other game in Liverpool between Haroldeans and Westdene Reserves was postponed due to an unplayable pitch. In the Peter Morrison Trophy, scots Glasgow Maccabi travelled south to face Republic of Mancunia at Brooklands, ref was Stu Delmonte and on a very wet surface the away team won 4-2 although Repub performed admirably, the game was marred by a melee near the end with 2 Glasgow players sent off and Republic's Olly Basger although a couple of others may have taken an early bath as well.

23/11/2008 - Cup comps 2009

The MJSL Exec have decided the format of the 2 cups to be started in the new year. To ensure all teams interest and an equal chance of silverware, the Tony Cohen Trophy will include just the BOTTOM 6 teams as placed at the break in December, two games will be played initially with 2 teams having byes, the 2 winners of those games will move into the semi finals with the others who received byes. The Fay and Henry Shonn Trophy will be played for by all teams except that the BOTTOM 6 will play 3 preliminary round games to produce 3 winners to go into the quarter final draw with the remaining top 5. The BOTTOM 6 will be determined on an average points per game so it may not actually be the bottom 6 as the table actually reads before new year. The draws will be made before the break at the end of the year and will be communicated to all clubs and probably initial rounds will be played in early January.

19/11/2008 - Midweek result

Leeds continued with their perfect record as they hit Sporting for a dozen and made it 10 out of 10 victories with half the league season to go. There were 3 hatricks for Jonathan Green, Alex Hirschman and Josh Rubin.

16/11/2008 - Headlines for Nov 16

There were 3 players that grabbed at least 3 goals this weekend, helping their sides to good victories. Firstly and perhaps shock of the day came as reigning champions were humbled 6-1 by Oakhill who were themselves hit for 8 in midweek by Leeds J-Uni, Yishai Last smashed 4 of the 6. Leeds won 6-2 against Mcr Maccabi 4th and moved 11 points clear at the top of the table, looking uncatchable even at this stage of the season, their main scorer was Alex Hirschman with a hatrick. Michael Basger was the other player who scored 3 as bottom of the table South Mcr Maccabi 2nd bounced up a place by beating their nearest rivals Westdene Reserves 8-2. The other games saw Haroldeans go second by beating Sporting JLGB away at Frederick Rd, although it was not easy as Sporting went 2 up but then gradually it was the merseysiders who retrieved the position and won 4-2. Crumpsall edged Rep of Mancunia by the odd goal in 3, Matt Jacobs scoring the penalty that separated the teams with 8 minutes to go.

16/11/2008 - MJSL Council, FA Presentation and Exec Meetings - Nov 08

The other 2 league games ended up 4-0 with Sporting getting a second successive win in 8 days beating Westdene Reserves and Mcr Maccabi 4th similarly disposing of Sth Mcr Maccabi 2nd with Dave Baynard getting a brace.
In the National Trophy, perhaps the best performance came from Westdene 1st who beat Oakhill 1st with a fine 4-0 win, Haroldeans went down similarly to Mcr Maccabi 2nd. MJSL reigning champs Roy's Rovers were losing 2-0 at half time to Leeds Maccabi, grabbed 1 back, had several good chances but then let in 3 in last 10 mins and it ended up 5-1...

Haroldeans will need a good performance to get past Mcr Maccabi 2nd and then would face Mcr Maccabi 1st for their endeavours. In the other game a tough clash sees MJSL champions Roys Rovers play host to Leeds Maccabi which should see a close encounter with the winners facing South Manchester Maccabi, again a tough reward for progressing...

In the Shonn Semis, there were two very close games which saw reigning league champions Leeds J-Uni lose by a single Dave Killey goal to Haroldeans and could mean a trophyless season, whilst Roy's Rovers could be on for a double as they knocked South Manchester Maccabi 2nds out with a 2-0 win and goals from Tal Marcus and Antony Berens. Westdene 3rd will meet Crumpsall 1st in the Tony Cohen Final as they beat Sporting JLGB 6-2 in the final Group A game, Moishe Hasid and Josh Gold each grabbed a brace. Other games in Div 1 were played >>>

02/03/2008 - Headlines for Mar 2

The MJSL Premier Division became a 2 horse race as Roy's Rovers potentially have one hand on the trophy, having completed their 12 league fixtures by beating reigning champions Leeds J-Uni. The students based in Yorkshire have 3 games remaining against Sth Mcr 2nd, Oakhill and Haroldeans, but will need maximum points to retain their title.

In two very close Feldman Semi Finals, Haroldeans won 3-1 against Sth Mcr Maccabi 2nd whilst Oakhill just edged Mcr Maccabi 4th by the odd goal in seven ! For Div 1 round up read on >>>

In the Shonn Trophy, the only non-Premier team left in, bit the dust as Westdene lost on Merseyside by a scoreline of 4-2 with James Abrams getting a couple for Haroldeans along with Killey and Roberts, Nathan Loofe replied with both for the visitors. Roy's Rovers made light work of beating Mcr Maccabi 4th with a resounding 6-1 victory and Mike Gatswirth top scoring with 4.

22/02/2008 - Headlines for Feb 17

In the Tony Cohen the Crumpsall derby saw the 1st team edge proceedings again with a 3-1 victory and Matt Jacobs getting a couple of goals, Westdene's Moishe Hasid grabbed 4 and secured a place in the Final also with a 6-1 win over Mcr Maccabi 5th who were their closest rivals. In the Premier Division, South's game in Leeds was called off due to a frozen surface and Oakhill's challenge still remains as they beat fellow challengers Haroldeans by the odd goal in 3.

10/02/2008 - Headlines for Feb 10

There was just one Premier Division game this weekend which was abandoned after 75 minutes due to Oakhill's secretary breaking his leg against Mcr Maccabi 4th. The Chairman has reported this has been a triple break but Jonathan Sacker is comfortable in hospital and thanks all concerned for their good wishes. The score was 4-1 at the time with Si Buchler notching a couple in the process. The Exec will confirm a decision on the result later this week. For the time being the table has been updated with a victory for Oakhill.

In the Tony Cohen, Crumpsall 1st continued with their excellent form with a 7-2 drubbing of Sth Manchester 3rd, Mark Friedman and Natan Fagleman both grabbing a brace. Also Mcr Maccabi 5th added to Sporting JLGB's woes as they edged their opponents 2-1.

05/02/2008 - New Fixtures

The next set of fixtures have now been sent out regarding February games, the Shonn Trophy will now be played as a normal knockout and not on a Round Robin basis as originally planned due to the recent postponements, this is for Premier Division teams plus Div 1 qualifier Westdene 3rd.

The Div 1 Tony Cohen Cup is currently be planned in as a Round Robin with 2 groups of 3, winners play in the Final with no semis, but this again is subject to change and dependent on weather over the next month.

In the Premier Division, the title remains in the balance with probably 4 teams still in with a chance of taking top spot and with the student teams unavailable for 6-7 Sundays through March and April due to Passover and university holidays, it is is difficult to see anything other than a last week finale.

In Division 1, with teams playing each other a total of 3 times, the title is still up for grabs, but hot favourites are Westdene 3rds with South Manchester Maccabi 3rds sat in a good position for promotion, with Sporting JLGB losing their way lately. Also Crumpsall 1st have been gaining momentum recently and it would be stupid to ignore their late run with quite a few matches remaining.

04/02/2008 - Headlines for Feb 4

In the Premier Division, Roy's Rovers reinforced their claim that they could very well be champions come May as they disposed of Oakhill 6-3 with Mike Gatswirth notching another hatrick. The challenging teams will take note as no other games were played in that division. Interestingly next week sees Rovers travel over the Pennines to play Leeds J-Uni and should the mancunians win, it will leave the yorkshire based team needing 9pts from their remaining 3 league games to probably retain their title - they will need to win at Haroldeans and Oakhill whilst having to beat Sth Mcr 2nd on their own patch. Obviously Haroldeans could still take the title if they get nearly maximum points in their remaining 5 games.

In Division 1, Westdene 3rds won with a jittery 3-2 win over an inspired Crumpsall 1st team. Crumpsall shocked the favourites storming to a 2-0 lead at the break with 2 goals from Mark Steinberg. In the second half, Westdene gradually edged their way back into the game and Johnny Alexander's double evened the score, and right at the end Moishe Hasid was on hand to chip in a 3rd and take all 3 points. Crumpall 2nd had an excellent result beating title hopefuls Sporting JLGB 3-1.

There were two cancelled fixtures in the Feldman Quarter Finals as South Manchester 3rd could not field a team against Mcr Maccabi 4th who go through and also Westdene North Manchester KD were suspended by Manchester FA for non payment of a fine so the game versus Haroldeans was awarded also under FA rules. Suprisingly reigning Premier champions bowed out of the competition as a magnificent performance from South's 2nd team saw an extra time victory - more details attached...

27/01/2008 - Headlines for Jan 27

In the Premier Division, Roy's Rovers went top with a nail biting 4-3 win over Mcr Maccabi 4th with Mike Gatswirth grabbing a hatrick for the new league leaders. The game in Leeds was postponed leaving Oakhill to flounder and lose away on Merseyside to a buoyant Haroldeans who edged the 3 points by two goals to one.

In Division 1, Sporting JLGB lost out badly and suprisingly 4-1 to Mcr Maccabi 5th whilst Crumpsall 1st again beat their 2nd team counterparts, this time with a 3-1 scoreline. Westdene 3rd went top as they beat the league leaders Sth Mcr Maccabi 3rd comfortably 4-0 with Raffi Bloom and Moishe Hasid both notching a brace.

25/01/2008 - Cup Draws and New Fixtures up to Feb 10

13/01/2008 - Headlines for Jan 13

It was all square in the Premier Division as both games ended with honours even. Indeed even rarer, was a goalless draw between Roy's Rovers and Sth Mcr Maccabi 2nd. The other game saw Mcr Maccabi 4th draw 3-3 in Liverpool with Haroldeans. Division 1 games saw 2 victories with Westdene 3rd beating Mcr Maccabi 5th 5-1 and Ben Rose grabbing a hatrick, Crumpsall 2nd were losing by a goal at half time but turned in an excellent second half performance and eventually ran out 3-1 winners having the luxury of also missing a penalty.

07/01/2008 - Headlines for Jan 6

In the Premier Division, Haroldeans just edged South Manchester 2nd winning by the odd goal in 5 whilst Mcr Maccabi 4th slammed nine past a beleaguered Nth Mcr KD/Westdene with (5th teamer stepping up) Boris Vatenmather notching 4 goals.

In Division 1, an amazing 6-6 draw ensued between the two favourites Westdene 3rd and Sporting JLGB, who now both find themselves behind South Manchester 3rd. Rose grabbed a hatrick for Westdene in the process. In the Crumpsall derby a marvellous competitive and enjoyable game saw the 1st team just score the winning goal of 3 in the final 5 minutes. South 3rd went top by beating Mcr Maccabi 5th by 4 goals to one.

25/12/2007 - Fixtures updated for January

The website now includes the new set of games issued by the Fixtures Secretary recently. The Feldman Trophy moves to the Quarter Final stage on Sunday 20 Jan with league games scheduled throughout the first month of 2008. A happy new year is wished to all from the MJSL Executive.

16/12/2007 - Headlines for Dec 16 (Seniors)

There was only one game that beat the weather this weekend, Crumpsall were held to a goalless draw by Mcr Maccabi 5th, after their recent winning exploits, but although dominating for the most part and hitting the woodwork, nearly lost as Maccabi missed a disputed penalty.

09/12/2007 - Headlines for Dec 9 (Seniors)

No games were played due to the poor weather conditions

02/12/2007 - Headlines for Dec 2nd (Seniors)

Only 2 games survived the weather, both saw top versus bottom clashes, but with very different outcomes! The Premier Division reigning champions Leeds J-Uni convincingly beat Westdene North Manchester KD 10-2 with Anthony Beilin notching a hatrick in the process. In Division 1, Crumpsall once again pulled off a most memorable underdogs victory with a superb 6-1 win in the mudbath at Frederick Road against a bewildered Sporting JLGB whose early season form seems to have lapsed recently.

All Junior matches were cancelled due to the weather.

25/11/2007 - Headlines for Nov 25 (Seniors)

In the Premier Division, Roy's Rovers will need to go to Leeds and Sth Mcr Maccabi 2nds to Merseyside later in the season as these games were postponed. Oakhill took advantage of the situation by beating Mcr Maccabi 4th team 4-1 with Asher Gershuny notching a hatrick.
In Div 1, Westdene's game versus Crumpsall 1st was not played but Crumpsall's 2nd team were narrowly beaten by Sth Mcr's 3rd team 2-0.
Shock of the day was definitely league leaders and newly formed Sporting JLGB being dumped out of the Feldman Trophy by Mcr Maccabi 5th, losing by the odd goal in three.

You can also now click on the Junior channel to see the weekend's results and temporary updated league tables in the news section.

25/11/2007 - North Manchester KD to join up with Westdene

With North Manchester KD struggling for players to fulfil fixtures, Westdene have stepped in and with the help of the MJSL Executive, the following agreement has been reached which will ensure all current players will continue to play football this season and also some that were not, will now benefit from the arrangement >>>>

25/11/2007 - Postponements

In accordance with all previous seasons, if you are the home team secretary and your pitch is unplayable then your game is not automatically called off. This can only be confirmed by the Fixtures Secretary initially as an alternative viable location will be sought. Given the fact that the MJSL has full control over the pitches at Frederick Rd, unless they have been called off by the council, there will always be at least one spare. If the Fixtures Secretary (or alternatively Secretary/Chairman/Ref Secretary) advises that the game should be moved, ONLY a referee can then call the match off, it is not negotiable or by mutual agreement between the two teams in question.

23/11/2007 - Feldman Cup draw

At last night's Executive Meeting, the following draw was made :

Haroldeans v North Manchester KD
Sporting JLGB/Mcr Maccabi 5th v Oakhill Lions
Sth Mcr Maccabi 2nd v Leeds J-Uni

18/11/2007 - Headlines for Nov 18

In the Shonn Trophy, Crumpsall's valiant effort to get through the Qualifying Round came to an end as Westdene put them to the sword with a Johnny Alexander hatrick in a 4-1 defeat. Westdene will now join the 7 Premier Division teams in the Quarter Finals.

Back to the league and once again Roy's Rovers' inconsistency surfaced as they fell badly 7-2 to Haroldeans at Frederick Rd. Bobby Abrams grabbed a hatrick with James Abrams notching a brace. A fortnight ago Rovers beat reigning champions Leeds J-Uni 5-3. Leeds themselves seemed to have got their act together and warded off the threat of perennial rivals Oakhill with an excellent 3-1 win over their fellow students.

In Div 1, Mcr Maccabi 5th also reversed some recent poor results as they beat Crumpsall 2nd convincingly by a 5-1 scoreline with Ray Tamman and Josh Cooper both scoring a couple in the process. For a preview of next week >>>

12/11/2007 - Next week's preview

On Sunday 18 Nov, the MJSL enjoys some very interesting clashes that could have huge immediate impact on several competitions as firstly in the Premier, the two prominent student teams go head to head as Leeds J-Uni host Oakhill Lions over the Pennines. Should Oakhill win, then they will consider themselves as genuine title contenders, if Leeds take the points then they should push on as title favourites. Roy's Rovers play host to Haroldeans who will travel to Manchester facing a team looking for another 3 points and hungry for their elusive first ever Premier championship, this will be their 8th from 12 league games and they will not want to drop points at this stage.

In the Shonn Trophy, Crumpsall 1st have shocked everybody including Sporting JLGB who were duly swept aside yesterday. They face Westdene at Frederick Rd for a place in the Quarter Finals with the 7 Premier Division teams. Westdene beat Crumpsall 7-1 when they last met but on current form, one would not bet against a much tougher encounter. In the league, Mcr Maccabi's 5th team take on Crumpsall 2nd team.

11/11/2007 - Headlines for Nov 11

Pride of place once again goes to Crumpsall 1st who superbly knocked Sporting JLGB 4-0 out of the Shonn Trophy to earn a final qualifying game versus Westdene 3rd, who themselves just about came through their stern test with South Manchester's 3rd team winning by the odd goal in 9.

In the Premier Division, there was also a surprise when reigning champions Leeds J-Uni dropped 2 valuable points as they shared 4 goals with Mcr Maccabi's 4th team. Oakhill Lions hung on to the leading pack as they edged out an awkward South Manchester 2nd outfit by 3 goals to 2, albeit after a valiant effort from South.

04/11/2007 - Headlines for Nov 4

In the Premier, Roy's Rovers and Leeds J-Uni both won their respective games convincingly this weekend following last week's tempestuous encounter against each other. In Div 1, it was South Manchester Maccabi 3rd who stole the limelight with what possibly would be considered a shock 4-1 win over pacesetters Sporting JLGB.

Crumpsall 1st won for a second week in succession as they progressed to the next round in the Shonn Trophy beating Mcr Maccabi 5th by 5-1. In the other qualifying game, Westdene easily won 7-1 against Crumpsall's second string.

The newly formed 2nd team also beat Mcr Maccabi 5th with a 4-2 scoreline and Michael Pfeffer getting a couple of goals.
In the Premier there was fireworks in the big game as Roy's Rovers inflicted a rare defeat over the reigning champions Leeds J-Uni as Mike Gatswirth destroyed the yorkshire students with four goals in a 5-3 win, Matt Beilin managed to get a couple in reply. Mcr Maccabi 4th dealt a blow to any title aspirations that South Mcr Maccabi 2nd had as they ran out 2-0 winners. More on the Rovers/Leeds clash follows...

22/10/2007 - Headlines for Oct 21

The Feldman Trophy 1st round through up some interesting clashes and it was not without some suprising results as the holders Westdene 3rd bit the dust losing out by the odd goal in seven against last year's promoted team North Manchester KD who clearly reconfirmed their proud status in the Premier Division. Reigning league champions may have expected a tough encounter with high flying Roy's Rovers but smashed 7 without reply. South Manchester 2nds disposed of Crumpsall 1st by 6-0 and newly formed Crumpsall 2nds went down 11-0 to Haroldeans.

The student teams fared slightly differently this weekend as reigning champs Leeds beat an awkward Mcr Maccabi 4th by 3 goals to 1 whilst Oakhill may rue this early season defeat next April, as they lost to the odd goal in 3 to South Mcr Maccabi 2nd who have a habit of turning out impressive performances against the more fancied teams. Praise goes to Dan Ash who grabbed a brace against the Manchester students.

In Div 1, the 2 strongest teams accrued another 3 points with both Westdene 3rd and Sporting JLGB enjoying easy victories. Sporting cracked 5 past South Mcr Maccabi 3rd with Alex Woolf scoring a hatrick, Westdene slammed 11 past Crumpsall with Dan Zegze going nap hitting 5. Next week's games follow ...

With Broughton's withdrawal and the removal of their fixtures, 2 games took place in Div 1 and these saw South Manchester Maccabi 3rd beat Crumpsall by 11-1 with Dave Tragen smashing 4 in the process, whilst Sporting JLGB disposed of Manchester Maccabi 5th by a similar 9-1 scoreline. Crumpsall's 20-2 win over Broughton has been removed from the first week of the season. The table reflects this amendment.

In the Premier Division, North Manchester KD lost by the odd goal in 5 against South Mcr Maccabi 2nd who afforded a missed penalty near the end of the game. Roy's Rovers beat Mcr Maccabi's 4th string by 6-0, Mike Gastwirth netting a hatrick.

16/09/2007 - Headlines for Sept 16

In the Premier Division, a tight game saw Roy's Rovers share 4 goals and the points with Sth Mcr Maccabi 2nd and in doing so both also shared top spot, whilst Mcr Maccabi 4th got over their opening days blues from last week by recording a 4-1 victory over newly promoted North Manchester KD who look like they could struggle after 2 defeats in a row.

In the only game of the day in Division 1, favourites Westdene 3rd smashed a dozen past Mcr Maccabi's 5th team who should take some satisfaction as they scored 4 themselves with Dan Seligman notching a hatrick. 3 players scored a brace each for the league leaders with two of these being debutants, indeed Raphi Hasid blazed a 40 yarder in from his own half and playing at centre back !

In Division 1, two totaly different games saw the two fancied teams fight out a 2-2 draw as Westdene 3rd and Sporting JLGB went head to head, whilst Crumpsall trounced newly re-formed Broughton J/wam by 20 goals to 2.

04/09/2007 - Fixtures for Sept 9th

The first Sunday of the season sees 2 games in both divisions with both newly promoted sides from last season going head to head in the Premier. Roy's Rovers pipped North Manchester KD for the Division 1 title back in May so this should be an interesting opener. The other game in the top flight sees Mcr Maccabi 4th play host to South Mcr Maccabi 2nd, and as per last season both of these sides on their day can prove awkward to beat.

In Division 1, an enthralling clash sees Westdene 3rd who must be favourites for the title face the new Sporting JLGB (last season's FC KD with some new players added), who themselves will hope to be challenging at the top. Broughton have also had changes in personnel and they take on Crumpsall who as last season progressed, improved week on week and may just suprise a lot of teams. Full fixture list follows with venues...

PREMIER DIVISION
Mcr Maccabi 4th v Sth Mcr Maccabi 2nd @ Brooklands
North Mcr KD v Roy's Rovers @ Frederick Rd 1

DIVISION ONE
Broughton J/Wam v Crumpsall @ Frederick Rd 3
Sporting JLGB v Westdene 3rd @ Frederick Rd 2

02/09/2007 - New Season dawns

The 2007-08 season will start next Sunday - September 9th. The MJSL will once again be sponsored by the Jewish Chronicle. There will be 2 divisions like last year with the Premier having 7 teams and Division 1 with 6. Bowdon Boys have withdrawn, with Roy's Rovers and North Manchester KD being promoted, Broughton J/Wam being relegated. FC KD to all intensive puposes have been renamed and reformed and will now be known as Sporting JLGB in Div 1 with Mcr Maccabi 6th not having a team this season.

The Feldman Trophy will be competed for by all clubs, the Fay and Henry Shonn Trophy will be similar to last season with Div 1 teams playing off preliminary rounds to enter the later stages with the Premier teams. The Tony Cohen Cup will just be for Div 1 which will shortly have a new sponsor. The Premier Div will once again be called the Joan Collins Premier Division.

The website will be shortly updated to reflect the new season and hopefully for seniors will be available by next week's start. With the Junior small sided football coming under the auspices of the MJSL generally, a channel is being developed specifically for this purpose and it is hoped by mid October this will also be fully operational.

Highlights were as follows, with Oakhill failing to appear it meant that Group 4 saw Westdene and Crumpsall both qualify for the quarter finals and it was these 2 teams who met in the Final some 5 hours later.
Leeds J-Uni, Haroldeans and Sth Mcr Maccabi all won their groups with North Mcr KD, Mcr Maccabi A and B qualifying as runners up. The 4 semi finalists took shape with Westdene who disposed of Haroldeans facing Mcr Maccabi A who had beaten Leeds J-Uni on penalties. Crumpsall had beaten Mcr Maccabi B on penalties to earn the right to play North Mcr KD, who themselves had disposed of Sth Mcr Maccabi.
Westdene beat Mcr Maccabi A with a good first half performance where fitness really told whilst the suprise package was Crumpsall who ran out winners against North Mcr KD defending their 3 goal handicap superbly.
The Final started quite evenly until Westdene finally got into their stride and the 3-1 starting scoreline eventually was eroded. The final score was 5-3 and both teams received their medals from the Samberg family. Well done to around 100 players, officials and committee members who all contributed to a marvellous day.

21/05/2007 - Broughton J/Wam

This is to confirm that Broughton J/Wam have withdrawn from the MJSL. Broughton who would have been relegated to Division 1, struggled to fulfil their fixtures in the last 2-3 months of the season resulting in this decision. They obviously did not take part in the annual 7 a side trophy.

14/05/2007 - Headlines for May 13

In the final match of the season in the Feldman Trophy Final, underdogs Westdene 3rd managed to thwart Leeds J-Uni's double attempt by winning 5-4 in Extra Time. The game was played at Oldham Town FC and was a credit to the MJSL. Well done to both teams for serving up a real cracker of a game...

14/05/2007 - 7 a side - Sunday 20 May

Sunday sees the rescheduled 7 a side tournament at Frederick Rd. Of the original 15 teams, Roy's Rovers chose not to enter with Mcr Maccabi and South Manchester Maccabi both withdrawing a team each due to exams along with Broughton leaving 12 teams to compete as follows >>>>

07/05/2007 - Headlines for May 6

Haroldeans ran out comfortable winners 4-0 evemtually against a spirited North Manchester KD side, who proved they will be a valuable asset to the Premier Division next season. With 3 goals flying in before half time, Haroldeans were always going to get the hands on this season's Shonn Trophy after narrowly missing out last season. A couple from Bobby Abrams and one each from Rick Paydon and James Abrams secured the victory.

In the final league game in Division 1, Westdene ran out 4-2 winners against Mcr Maccabi 5th with Rafi Bloom grabbing a couple as the curtain came down on the Division One season.

30/04/2007 - Broughton J/Wam

Broughton have failed to complete 4 league fixtures out of 12 and the MJSL have decided to deduct 3 points for the 3rd of the 4 which followed a previous warning and last Sunday when the fourth was not completed, a further 3 points. It was a farcical situation which saw only 8 players start the game against Mcr Maccabi 4th but as one person was knowingly leaving at half time, the game had to be abandoned under FA rules.

The Executive consider this totally unacceptable and disadvantages their opponents by depriving them of a game of football, on some occasions with less than an hour notice. Expenses are incurred by officials and players alike and the players at the club have shown no regard for any of these parties. The MJSL Executive will deal with the whole matter in due course.

29/04/2007 - Headlines for April 29

Westdene won the Tony Cohen Cup Final as for the 3rd season running the Division 1 champions were beaten by the underdogs. Roy's Rovers conceded an early own goal (Tal Marcus was the unfortunate player) but then equalised through Andrew Levy.

In the second half it was Rafi Bloom who broke the 1-1 stalemate with a good goal beating a square Rovers defence. A scramble and a last touch by Brett Howarth made it 3-1 then Ben Rose smashed home the best goal of the day from 20 yards to seal a 4-1 victory. Rovers had 4 chances to reduce the deficit but failed on each occasion as shots went wide or over the bar.

In the Premier Division, Broughton J/Wam disappointed another team for the third successive game. They managed to start the match against Mcr Maccabi 3rd with just 8 players and were 3-0 down at half time courtesy of 2 Daniel Feldman goals and 1 from Dave Baynard. Then controversy reigned as one of Broughton's players left for a prior engagement meaning they were down to 7 players and at this point the game had to be abandoned. This was the 4th occasion in total this season that Broughton had not completed a match and the MJSL Executive will be looking into this as a very serious matter.

29/04/2007 - 7 a side

The 7 a side competition postponed from March will now take place on May 20th (the day after the FA Cup Final). All teams area llowed to enter and unless the MJSL hear otherwise by Sunday May 6th, all will be taking part accordingly. It is hoped that Leeds J-Uni and Roy's Rovers will both receive their Championship Trophies and medals during the day's activities. Other presentations should be the Player of the Year, Secretary of the Year, Top Goalscorer and Sportsmanship trophy.

29/04/2007 - Games awarded recently

The following games have been awarded to the first named teams with 3 points and a goalless scoreline. Offending teams have been fined accordingly under Rule 29 of MJSL constitution.

Haroldeans v Broughton J/Wam (15/4/07)
Leeds J-Uni v Broughton J/Wam (22/4/07)
Leeds J-Uni v Bowdon Boys (25/4/07)

26/04/2007 - Tables updated correctly

All adjustments that were temporary have been removed now as the website tables are fully correct. any cancelled games have had 3 pts awarded to the non offending team with a goalles scoreline and a win included in that team's stats - obviously the offending team has a defeat with a goalless scoreline. This of course excludes any other decisions made by the MJSL Exec depending on circumstances.

26/04/2007 - Headlines for April 25

Roy's Rovers won their last game at the weekend and with it the Division 1 title, North Manchester KD will be kicking themselves for their last game defeat at the hands of F.C. K.D. - Special mention to Crumpsall and Zevi Saunders who recorded their first deserved win of the season as they edged South 3rds out by a slim 2-1 margin. Westdene won 5-2 and followed it up with a 4-4 draw in midweek, ending the season in a creditable third and 2 cup finals to look forward to in the process.

In the Premier, Haroldeans, Leeds and Oakhill won their games and with Broughton cancelling 2 games in the last fortnight, the title will be heading to the yorkshire students. Leeds will prepare for a league and cup double also.

21/04/2007 - MJSL contact details for Sunday 22 April - scores / scorers

Please note that im on holiday till Wednesday 25 April and uncontactable, therefore all info after tomorrow's games MUST be sent to Brian Myer directly by TEXT only. All Club secretaries should advise their managers accordingly. This is just for this weekend only.

Many thanks

15/04/2007 - Headlines for April 15

In the Feldman Trophy Westdene turned the competition on its head with a marvellous 4-2 victory over reigning Premier champions Oakhill. The students had Dan Abrahams sent off for handball inside 10 minutes so struggled to play their normal game against their opponents who took good advantage of this and rattled in 4 goals in the end - just 2 in reply from Oakhill.
In the other semi, form team Leeds J-Uni beat Mcr Maccabi 4th by a similar scoreline of 4-1, Jason Miller smashed in a hatrick to take them into the Final to be played in early May. Two penaties ultimately cost the visitors dear. Leeds play Westdene in the Final.

Broughton J/Wam cancelled their game with Haroldeans at 10am and will face a decision by the MJSL Executive shortly - this was the second occasion that this has occurred this season.

In Division One, North Manchester KD again lost to their counterparts FC K.D. and this could be really costly with the league title beckoning. Adam Schwinger's doubled helped the underdogs to a momentous 3-2 victory, repeating an earlier cup success.

Roy's Rovers will now have a great chance of taking the spoils in their final match. a win will secure the title as they are one goal worst off in terms of goal dofference so a draw will not suffice.

Crumpsall scored 3 but lost out to Mcr Maccabi 6th who just edged it with James Hilton scoring a couple. Mcr Maccabi 5th beat South Mcr Maccabi 3rd convincingly 4-1.

08/04/2007 - Headlines for April 8

In the Fay and Henry Shonn Trophy Semi Finals, North Manchester KD upset the applecart with a victory over holders Manchester Maccabi 4th. The game went to extra time and the Division One side just edged it 2-1. Alleged controversial decisions were given by ref Stu Delmonte, the last one resulting in a penalty award and ultimately the winning goal.

A weakened Haroldeans side disposed of Bowdon Boys in the other Semi with a 3-0 scoreline, setting up the unlikely meeting with North Manchester KD at Boundary Park in May.

In the Tony Cohen Trophy Semi Finals, Westdene led the way with an expected win over F.C.K.D. as Johnny Alexander smashed in 4 goals of a 6-1 rout. Roy's Rovers also paved their way to the Final as they beat off a challenge from holders Manchester Maccabi 5th, Colin Rich scored twice in a 4-0 victory.

01/04/2007 - Headlines for April 1

In the game of the day Roy's Rovers lost for the second time in a week and this means that North Manchester KD need to win their last game to win the title as they suprisingly also dropped points but got a point in a goalless draw. A superb performance from South Manchester Maccabi 3rd over Rovers who showed what amateur football is all about with their undeniable commitment and passion for the game.

Stratton grabbed 2 with Collins and Herz completing the scoresheet, Levy got a consolation after a parried penalty. Only black marks for the day were two red cards for 2 Rovers players in the second half who clearly were increasingly frustrated with the way the game was going. Manchester Maccabi 5th put the brakes on North Manchester's charge also as they held the other title hopefuls toa rarae nil-nil in the MJSL !

In the other game in Division One, Westdene carried on their good form with a 9-0 rout over Mcr Maccabi 6th, Johnny Alexander got a couple along with Simon Nesbit and the team went 3rd.

26/03/2007 - Headlines for March 25

Three games were scheduled for this weekend but unfortunately only one took place.

Top of the table in Division 1, Roy's Rovers lost for the first time this season to a confident Westdene. The away team won by the odd goal in 5 and have really got themselves together over recent weeks progressing to 2 Semi Finals also. Raffi Bloom gabbed a couple as Rovers will know they now have a fight on their hands to the end of the season.

It really is up for grabs as North Manchester KD and Roy's Rovers are level on points and only separated by a single goal with just 2 matches remaining for both... Interestingly North's final game is against F.C. K.D on 15 April, who recently knocked them out of the cup and Roy's Rovers last match is a week later against Mcr Maccabi 6th on 22 April.

South Manchester Maccabi had to cancel both their games (for 2nds and 3rds) as there was a lack of availability on behalf of their registered players; the games against Haroldeans in the Premier Division and Mcr Maccabi 6th in Division 1 have both been awarded with full points to the respective opponents.

The tables have been updated, officially there should be a win registered with a 0-0 scoreline but this is current not possible on the website so a draw is registered with +2pts to the 1pt for the winning team and -1pt from the 1pt gained by the "cancelling" team. Any queries please email me...

18/03/2007 - CANCELLED 7 a side tournament - Sunday 8.30am

Due to the weather conditions and forecast for the rest of the day, the 7 a side tournament has been cancelled, hopefully to be rescheduled to a later date. All teams and officials have been contacted.

11/03/2007 - Headlines for March 11

The only game in the Premier Division saw an amazing 4-1 win for Haroldeans as Oakhill secure grip on the title now looks as though it could be a very interesting end to the season.

In Division 1, Westdene disposed of Westdene by 5-0 although Crumpsall managed to hit the woodwork and put up a spirited performance. FC K.D. knocked in 4 past the youngsters from Manchester Maccabi 6th whilst Roy's Rovers beat Manchester Maccabi 5th just by 2-0 to return to the top of the table on goal difference, albeit with a game in hand.

Next weekend sees the annual 7 a side with 15 teams entered and only Roy's Rovers not represented. The draw will be made at the Executive Meeting on Tuesday night and announced before the weekend.

09/03/2007 - 7 a side

All clubs will have a new fixture list (in excel format) very shortly and this will override any previously distributed.

04/03/2007 - Headlines for March 4

In the Tony Cohen Cup, there was an absolute cracker of a game as FC K.D. managed to beat their close colleagues from North Manchester KD just. At the end of play it was 3-3 and it was the underdogs who progressed into the semis with a 4-2 penalty shoot out win. FC KD penalties from Alex Woolf, Josh Woolf, Sam Goodman, Josh Foxler - Nth Mcr penalties from James Rosenberg and Jonny Rashman.

Roy's Rovers swept aside Sth Mcr Maccabi 3rd slamming in 6 with Colin Rich grabbing a brace, Westdene progressed with a 3-1 win over Manchester Maccabi 6th - Johnny Alexander getting two goals also.

In the Premier, South Manchester Maccabi 2nd beat Mcr Maccabi 4th by 5-2, a hatrick from Mike Stratton most certainly helped the cause.

25/02/2007 - Headlines for Feb 25

In this year's Feldman Quarter Finals ...
Oakhill easily beat South Manchester Maccabi 3rd by 5-1 but a missed penalty could have meant a different story. Leeds J-Uni disposed of Mcr Maccabi 5th by a similar scoreline of 6-1. Steve Lee's 2 goals saw the all Premier division match between Mcr Maccabi 4th and Broughton swing in favour of the former with a 2-1 scoreline.

Best performance of the day definitely came from Westdene, who last week lost 4-2 to North Manchester KD - this week they took on second placed in Premier - Bowdon and not only beat them, but beat them well with a 4-0 victory. On Thursday evening at the next Council Meeting, the draw for the Semi Finals will take place (games will be played on Sunday 11 March.

In Division 1, Rafi Leker and David Eden both hit hatricks for North Manchester KD as they rattled in 9 goals against Mcr Maccabi 6th and went top of their league with Roy's Rovers not playing.

This is a reminder to all club secretaries and Executive members that Thursday will see the last Council Meeting of the season. Draws for the Feldman and Tony Cohen cup competitions will be made.

18/02/2007 - Headlines for Feb 18

In the Premier Division, Oakhill continued to put points in the bag at the top of the league, by repeating last week's win over Mcr Maccabi 4th this time without reply and by 4 goals to nil. Leeds J-Uni won yet another close encounter with Haroldeans, narrowly squeezing home 2-1 to jump themselves into second spot.

In Division One, Westdene seemed to have most of the ball and chances against North Manchester KD but somehow contrived to concede 4 goals against the run of play which left them with too much to do. The second placed team won 4-2 but towards the end, there were 2 red cards shown to Westdene players for what appeared to be persistent dissent. Earlier Westdene's manager was red carded and told by ref Brian Myer to leave the touchline area for similar offences.

FC K.D. won by the odd goal in 5 against Mcr Maccabi 5th and Crumpsall lost 6-1 to South Manchester Maccabi 3rd. Roy's Rovers have been awarded the points against Mcr Maccabi 6th who could not field a team. The website table has been updated with "adjustments" as the score officially is a 0-0 win (per FA rules).

Finally in the National Trophy Quarter Finals - Manchester Maccabi 1st narrowly edged out a defiant Chigwell from London, Ashley Loofe's free kick after 78 mins separating the sides. Faithfold A await in the semis. South Manchester 1st team hopes were smashed 6-1 by a good Hendon side who will possibly meet London Lions eventually at the Semi Final stage. The Final is provisionally booked for Oldham AFC's Boundary Park in May.

11/02/2007 - Headlines for Feb 11

Broughton failed to field a team in leeds today and cancelled the game with less than an hour to kick off which the MJSL Exec found unacceptable and in keeping with consistent rulings, the cancellation has caused the game to be awarded with 3pts to Leeds.

Oakhill got back to winning ways after last week's exit to Bowdon in the cup. Paul Bentley got a brace as they beat Mcr Maccabi 4th 4-1 and went top for the first time this season.

In Div 1, Crumpsall went down 5-2 to F.C. K.D. as Alex Woolf notched a hatrick whilst Mcr Maccabi 5th easily beat their own 6th team 10-1, Jamie Cooper grabbing a double hatrick and Marc Woolfe also getting 3.

04/02/2007 - Headlines for Feb 4

In the Shonn Trophy Quarter Finals, Bowdon knocked out great rivals Oakhill with a 2-0 victory, Haroldeans put Leeds J-Uni out with a 7-6 win on penalties after a 2-2 draw in Extra Time. Mcr Maccabi 4th beat Westdene 3rd by 5-1 and the other tie was cancelled. Roy's Rovers cancelled the game and a decision has been made to award the game to the opposition (this is subject to appeal).

In the Tony Cohen 1st round, Crumpsall seem to be improving with their least number of goals conceded in a match but lost out 3-0 to Mcr Maccabi 5th. In Div 1, Sth Mcr 3rd beat F.C. K.D. 4-2.

28/01/2007 - Headlines for Jan 28

21/01/2007 - Headlines for Jan 21

All games were postponed except for Oakhill who entertained Mcr Maccabi 4th in a Shonn Group game.
Unfortunately with the fixture congestion, this game has been declared null and void and the competition has taken on a knockout format with the draw as follows and to be played next week :

SHONN TROPHY - ROUND 1

FC KD v Roy's Rovers - Pitch 3
South Mcr 2nd v Oakhill Lions

Byes:
Haroldeans, Leeds J-uni, Bowdon Boys, Westdene 3rd, Mcr Maccabi 4th.


The report from the game that was played but void...
Suprisingly it was the students who faultered in their first game since the turn of the year. 2 goals from Steve Lee, and one each from Jeremy Rubins and Daniel Feldman with just a consolation for Oakhill meant that it was a resounding 4-1 win.

08/01/2007 - Shonn Trophy update

South Manchester Maccabi 3rd have withdrawn from the Fay and Henry Shonn Trophy.
Westdene 3rd will play against Roy’s Rovers on Sunday in the next round.

The 5-5 scoreline has been deleted from the records with no scorers.

This closes the matter.

07/01/2007 - Headlines for Jan 7

The Fay and Henry Shonn Trophy started today in its qualifying round although it wasnt without controversy. Roy's Rovers disposed of Mcr Maccabi 5th although the 3-0 scoreline suggests a closer game than expected. F.C. K.D. easily beat Mcr Maccabi 6th by 9-2, Saul Davies grabbed a hatrick in the process. North Manchester K.D. defeated bottom of the table Crumpsall 5-2 and again probably a closer game than anticipated.

The other game produced a strange ending as Westdene 3rd and Sth Manchester Maccabi 3rd drew 5-5 but ref Rob Zemmell had been advised by the Ref Secretary Staurt Delmonte that this part of the competition was run on a league basis therefore a draw was acceptable. This is not the case as these 4 games between Division One sides are purely knockout to produce 2 qualifiers.

I am seeking advice from Manchester FA and will have an answer by Tuesday morning. Both teams have been made aware. We are trying to ensure that next week's 2nd qualifying round game between Roy's Rovers and the winner of the outstanding game still takes place as planned. The 2 KD teams will play off in the other qualifier. All stats will be updated shortly - Apologies for the delay.

06/01/2007 - Fixture swap in Shonn Trophy on 21 Jan / 4 Feb

The following fixtures have been swapped around due to Broughton’s involvement
in the latter stages of the Morrison Trophy (an away game in London).

21.1.07 Shonn Group C
(Div 1 Match 2) Qualifier v Bowdon (originally on 4.2.07)

4.2.07 Shonn Group C
Bowdon v BWAM (originally on 21.1.07)

Any games in the Shonn involving the “qualifying teams from Div 1” cant be added
to the website until we know who those teams are. So whilst there may be a fixture
on your fixture list that was emailed over last week, it may not be visible yet on web.

02/01/2007 - Division One update - game cancellation

Two adjustments have been added to the table and due to a technical issue, this is a temporary fix. Crumpsall cancelled their game against Westdene in December with the game being awarded to Westdene.
Officially this should be registered as a win for Westdene and a defeat for Crumpsall with 3pts/0pts per team respectively.
As it stands, a draw has been registered in the table with relevant point adjustment smade so that the final points tally is correct.
Once the table can take on board a 0-0 scoreline as a win, the stats will be amended, but for now, the final points totals are correct for both clubs.

29/12/2006 - Jan to May update for 2006-07 season

This is a copy of the important email sent to all clubs today and should be used for future reference ... It includes directives in respect of fixture cancellations, pitches, new cup format for Shonn Trophy

Happy New Year to all associated with the MJSL !

29/12/2006 - Faye and Henry Shonn 2006-07 - New format and draw

This year we will see a new format – traditionally this competition is the Premier
Divisional Cup like the Tony Cohen is the Division 1 cup.

However, to increase the number of games, it will act like a type of FA Cup where
the Division One teams will progress through two qualifying rounds to produce two
qualifiers to join the Premier teams in the competition proper.

Then 3 small groups will produce 2 semi finals and a final accordingly.

17/12/2006 - Headlines for Dec 17

Only one game played today and that saw South Manchester Maccabi 3rd beat F.C.KD by 6-1.

All other matches were cancelled due to pitches being closed. However, Crumpsall cancelled their game last week and this match had already been awarded to Westdene 3rd. This means the score to be entered into the table will be 0-0 but a win recorded for Westdene with 3 points (this will be added in due course).

Fixtures for the New Year will be sent out before the end of 2006 and simultaneously appear on the website.

16/12/2006 - Frederick Road - Closed Sunday 17 Dec

Answer phone message confirms that all games on Salford Council pitches have been cancelled.

15/12/2006 - Appeals - (1) Bowdon Boys (2) Haroldeans v Leeds J-Uni

The Appeal decision made by the MJSL Executive in respect of Bowdon Boys playing an unregistered player was that the club would have 1 point deducted from their full total. The original decision had been a 3 point deduction. The table has been updated accordingly.

The Appeal decision in respect of the league game between Haroldeans and Leeds J-Uni was that this
game must be replayed due to a reduced time period not being agreed prior to the kick off by the referee in conjunction with both teams.
No score was entered into the stats so there is no adjustment made. Any goals scored by players in this game will not ne added to the league's goalscorer lists.

With Salford pitches unavailable 3 games were lost so attention turned to the Premier Division where once again teams took points offe ach other. Bowdon who recently beat Oakhill but had lost to to Broughton, this time were defeated by Haroldeans over on Merseyside, Bobby Abrams getting a hatrick. Also over in Yorkshire, reigning champions Oakhill travelled well and came back with all 3 points as they put Leeds J-Uni in their place if they had any visions of taking the title in May. Finally South 2nd and Broughton fought out a 2-2 draw and a share of the points.

In Div 1, the one game that survived was a cracker as North Manchester KD won by the odd goal in 7. Their final 2 goals turned the game in the dying minutes, Rafi Lekere continuing his scoring run this time netting all 4. Westdene who led throughout will be disappointed getting nothing out of the game.

25/11/2006 - Frederick Road - Closed Sunday 25 Nov

Bowdon played Daniel Lee in several league games which was highlighted by the Registration Secretary. League rules allow for the deduction of any points gained and various other options. It was decided that a 3 point deduction should be made. The table has been adjusted accordingly.

19/11/2006 - Headlines for Nov 19

The Premier Division title race was blown wide open as reigning champions lost for the first time this year, with Bowdon winning handsomely and deservedly 2-0. Leeds also dropped points as South Mcr 2nd once again proved a difficult nut to crack, and were actually leading 3-2 with minutes to go - before the yorkshiremen equalised and shared the points. 3 weeks ago, Broughton beat Haroldeans 4-1, however, the merseysiders reversed this with a 5-3 victory - Rick Paydon scoring a magnificent four.

In Div One, Mcr Maccabi 5th drew 2-2 with Sth Mcr 3rd and Max Gruber received his marching orders for 2 bookable offences. North Manchester KD showed their intent as they hit a dozen past Mcr Maccabi 6th with Dave Eden smashing a double hatrick. Roy Rovers stayed in pole position and recorded their 7th league win out of 7 games, this time smashing 7 past FC K.D.

14/11/2006 - Frederick Road - update

Salford Leisure have looked at options with David Lewis playing fields and changing room facilities.. There was a marked improvement from previous weeks as the pitches were cut better and the line markings were there and visible. The dressing rooms were back to their basic best, but at least there was light ! As far as im told, theer are plans to make it brighter in there and strengthen the boarding up also.

Its also feasible that the entrance may be moved centrally. All teams should be aware that the shower facilities are available with hot water on any match day. The groundsman merely has to be asked to turn the water on and unlock the aluminium / steel plated / bullet proof double doors to the left of the changing rooms ...

14/11/2006 - MJSL Council / Exec Meeting - Dec 14

This is giving a month's advance notice of the final Council meeting of the year. I will confirm details shortly as to time and location but all secretaries please plan into your diary as well as Exec members.

In the Joan Collins Premier Division, Oakhill Lions showed their intent with a 2-0 win over Sth Mcr Maccabi 2nd, Gershuny again scored both goals. A very rare occurrence in amateur football saw a goalless draw between Mcr Maccabi 4th and Leeds J-Uni whilst Haroldeans went down to a 4 - 1 defeat by Bowdon Boys. The season looks like everybody is taking parts of each other whilst oakhill must remain favourites...

In the Mo Phillips Div 1, Mcr Maccabi 5th very nearly halted Roy's Rovers march to the title as their 100% record just about remained in tact. It was a 2-1 win with Levy and Berens getting the all important goals and Darren Cohen getting the consolation. Westdene 3rd easily won 5-1 against F.C. K.D. although the first half ended at just 2-1. The game was marred by an injury to the way team's keeper who had to be taken to hospital via ambulance with a possible break and as a result the game was held up for some time.

North Manchester KD swept aside the South Mcr Maccabi 3rd eleven with an 8-2 romp, Rafi Leker and David Eden both grabbing hatricks. Mcr Maccabi 6th grabbed their first win in senior football beating a beleaguered Crumpsall 6-1, Myers and Cooper both scored a brace, Eli Wieder provided Crumpsall's response.

12/11/2006 - Non-Uniform Kit - Fines to be imposed

There were 3 games at Frederick Road this weekend and in each game, there was at least one team without a full uniform kit which has been mentioned on numerous occasions previously as being unacceptable. We may not have the most skilful league in terms of players and teams in the area, but we try to run an efficient league and as part of this, basics such as kit are essential. No leniency has been shown this weekend as previous warnings have gone unheeded. Please ensure you team has a full uniform kit for future games this season. All offending teams will be contacted this evening by email.

12/11/2006 - Jewellery - FA RULE !!!!!!!!!!!

Once again a manager has advised a referee that an opposing player is putting all players at risk by wearing jewellery. It is worrying that the official was oblivious to this and was not prepared to listen.

The FA rule which has been read out at council meetings and emailed to all secretaries MUST be adhered to. All MJSL referees have now been instructed to refuse to allow any player to take the field who does not abide by these rules. (a wedding ring which is difficult to remove is considered acceptable if taped up BUT no other type of jewellery including piercings, studs, ear rings etc).

All Secretaries are now asked once again to ensure that this rule is followed to the letter of the law to avoid disappointment on match day.

12/11/2006 - Feldman Trophy - Game awarded

North Manchester KD have been removed from the Feldman trophy for fielding a player who had not been registered the required 14 days. As a result Manchester Maccabi 5th progess to the next round.

06/11/2006 - Haroldeans v Leeds J-Uni - Replay

The MJSL Executive have decided that yesterday's Premier Division match will be replayed as the referee failed to advise either side that he was playing only 40 minutes away. This can be done if both parties are in agreement PRIOR to the match. This was not the case and the result is null and void with the game to be rescheduled in due course (subject to appeal).

05/11/2006 - Headlines for Nov 5

In the MJSL Premier Division, Haroldeans scored a late winner to beat Leeds J-Uni by the odd goal in 7. Sth Mcr Maccabi 2nd easily beat Mcr Maccabi 4th by 5-1.

The National Trophy saw the following results; Manchester Maccabi 1st (reigning champions) easily beat Bowdon Boys 7-0 at St Pauls, Leeds Maccabi came to Frederick Rd and beat an under strength Oakhill side 6-0. Broughton scrambled through with a 2-1 win over Westdene in extra time, goalless at 90 minutes with Westdene unbelievably not going through.

05/11/2006 - Frederick Road - facilities

Following a growing number of complaints, the MJSL who were about to write to Salford Leisure (Council) anyway regarding the state of the changing rooms, sent an official letter of complaint on behalf of all clubs that play there. The pitches have been and some are still in an unacceptable condition in terms of the grass length. Markings have recently been done as they should be. The changing rooms are a disgrace and any health and safety officer would have a case study to be proud of !

The update is that the Council are taking a surveyor down there this week, several members of the Executive looked at various options today and will put these forward accordingly.

Please bear with us and watch this space......

02/11/2006 - MJSL Exec - Teams ... Please note

MJSL Exec would like to reinforce the following :

1. NO jewellery except wedding band / ring can be worn in a football match per the FA. Then it must be covered with a suitable tape. So no pierced items are allowed etc. All officials are advised accordingly.

2. Any match card discrepancies will be dealt with by imposing fines where signatures can not be read or completed wrongly. If they arrive late having been sent late or dont arrive at all, again a minimum fine will be imposed without exception.

3. We have wrote to the Council regarding the state of facilities at Frederick Road and we are awaiting an update next week as they are reviewing the situation.

07/10/2006 - Mcr Maccabi 6th - new team

With the collapse of the Junior Under 16 league, a request from Manchester Maccabi was made to include their U-16s in the MJSL Senior Division 1. With the season in its early weeks and most teams having not played more than two games, it was felt that this was reasonable and their season will start in November. They will play at Frederick Road on an ad hoc basis dependent on other teams being away from there on the same day. It has been agreed that they cant take their place in the Feldman Trophy as the draw has already been made. The MJSL Executive wish them well ....
