Tribe kids enjoy tobogganing, climbing and paintballing on thrilling summer day trips
KIDS Paintballing, climbing, caving and a 50m Cresta Run were among the activities on offer at Tribe’s annual summer day trips. Almost 100 kids, aged between 8-11-years-old, took part in four separate events across four days – at Phasels Wood activity centre, the XC (extreme sport) centre, the Zap Combat centre and the Big Rock and Hollywood Bowl. Events at the first venue included the Cresta Run – where kids tobogganed on wheeled sledges across a man-made carpeted run over 50 metres – and the Phasels Climbing Complex which presented amongst other things, a 36m girdle traverse. TribeFieldworker Sam Cohen said: “I’m delighted that once again our Days Out programme has been so popular. They have been great to get to know the participants and we look forward to seeing them return to future programmes such as summer camps.”
Hands up! More than 100 kids enjoyed a variety of activities at Tribe’s four action-packed day trips
Hanna leads Israel medal hopes in London ATHLETICS
Redbridge C folds ahead of season FOOTBALL
Israel will have eight athletes taking part in the World Athletics Championships, which get underway in London tomorrow. Six of the eight will be taking part in the men and women marathon events, but their greatest hopes of a medal lie with triple jumper Hanna KnyazyevaMinenko (pictured). The Ukrainian-born 27-year-old became an Israeli citizen in 2013 and won silver at the 2005 Championships in Beijing. Israel’s other representative is Marharyta Dorozhon, who is taking part in the javelin competition. Other Jewish interest in the tournament includes Australian Steven Solomon who will be taking part in the 400m.
Next season’s Maccabi GB Southern Football League will consist of 29 teams – the lowest amount in nearly half a century – after Redbridge Jewish Care C withdrew from Division Two. Just days after the format for the new campaign – which kicks-off on 3 September – was announced, Redbridge C’s demise was confirmed by the club’s vice-chair and secretary Richard Bronzite, who said the side folded due to a “loss of playing staff”. As a result, there will now be 29 sides competing – including an eight-side Premier Division – which is the lowest amount of teams the League has fielded for more than 45 years.
