MJSL JOAN COLLINS PREMIER DIVISION
LEEDS MACCABI 1 OAKHILL LIONS 3
OAKHILL LIONS have been crowned MJSL champions after halting Leeds Maccabi in their tracks.
The Yorkshire side swept all teams aside last season on their way to clinching the treble.
But the students of Oakhill are celebrating pipping Leeds to the post with Sunday’s 3-1 win over their nearest rivals ensuring they cannot be caught at the summit.
Oakhill – following last summer’s recruitment drive – have been the league’s standout team.
And they confirmed their status as the league’s best team by downing Leeds in their own backyard.
Last year’s title winners Leeds struck first via Adam Gillman as they fought to keep themselves in the hunt.
But Moses Seitler’s 65th minute free-kick would soon be followed by Gillman receiving his marching orders as the crunch clash turned on its head.
Osher Landes fired Oakhill into the lead before Seitler’s late penalty ensured the visitors would cross the Pennines with the trophy.
