Over 90 children took part in Tribe’s annual Tribe-A Side football competition, in partnership with Maccabi GB. The competition took place at Mill Hill Power League and pitted synagogues against each other to become the ultimate champion.
Years 7-11 were split into 2 tournaments with 12 teams taking part in total. The Year 9-11 winners were Magen Avot, whilst Barnet took the trophy from the Year 7-8 competition.

Participant and Year 7-8 winner Louis Peleg said: “I had an amazing time. It’s great that Tribe organise this tournament as it’s a fantastic way for us to meet new people and have fun at the same time”.
David Collins, US Director of Young People & Young Families, commented: “There was an amazing atmosphere at Tribe-A-Side today. As the end-of-term holidays approach it was great to see youth from so many of our communities brought together by football. We are looking forward to seeing many of them at our summer camps and days out. We’d like to thank Maccabi GB for their help in organising this tournament.”

Alex Elf, Maccabi GB’s Schools and Sports Manager, added: “It was incredibly pleasing to partner Tribe with this event. Having hosted hundreds of School Sports Tournaments throughout the year we are well aware the importance of bringing young, Jewish people from all across the Community together to play sport. Tournaments like todays creates an environment where these footballers can stay active whilst making new, Jewish friendships. We want to thank Tribe for hosting such a great day and Mazel Tov to all those who were a part of it.”
