London Lions move to joint top of the table

In the Maccabi Masters Football League, London Lions moved level with Brady at the top of the table following a 6-2 win over St John’s Wood Tigers. Gideon Barnett found the back of the net four times, with strikes from Pete Lazard and Ory Halperin completing the emphatic scoreline. Grant Morgan and John Perloff replied for Tigers. Marshside recorded their first win of the season, beating Temple Fortune 5-2. Fortune found themselves 2-0 up at the break thanks to goals from Robert Botkai and Dean Ingram, but a second half comeback of epic proportions saw Mark Davis’ double, plus strikes from Dan Forman, Ben Shooter and Paul Rodin complete the unlikely comeback.
