CHAMPIONS Manchester Maccabi 3rd are just a point behind second-placed Oakhill Lions after a 4-1 victory over Broughton J/WAM, writes ALEX ZATMAN.

The MJSL whipping boys have lost all 13 games this season, conceding 64 goals and only scoring 12 in the process.

Maccabi took the lead when Ben Kay helped the ball into his own net from Max Seitler's cross. Maccabi striker Jake Kelly was inches away from doubling the lead, but made no mistake with a second chance as he coolly slotted home.

The third goal was slightly fortunate as Miles Hilton's cross looped over the unfortunate Sam Franks in the Broughton goal.

Just before the break Broughton's Osher Landes gave his side a glimmer of hope as he fired past Josh Samberg.

In a drab second half, the Broughton boys could have reduced the two-goal deficit.

They had plenty of opportunities, but Samuel Fulda and Harrison Kaufman failed to provide the killer touch when called upon.

Jake Rubens killed off the contest when he rounded the keeper to make it 4-1.

Oakhill and Republic of Mancunia 1st fought out a goalless draw.
