Maccabi Tel Aviv's Under-16s rounded off the season with a victory, the Under-15s won and kept their hopes alive of eliminating the gap at the top of the table
After 23 victories and just one single loss, Maccabi Tel Aviv's Under-17s ended their current season with their first draw. With just one match left before the end of the regulation season and the start of the "Champion of Champions" competition that pits the top three clubs of the national Northern and Southern Under-17 Premier Leagues against one another to determine the national champion, the Southern League champions finished their 25th matchweek against Ironi Modi'in with a 2-2 draw, with the game's four goals being scored by two players. For Maccabi Tel Aviv "Oded" it was striker Sohil Armeli who netted a brace, to bring his season's total to 20 league goals. At the Modi'in end the honours went to Bar Hazut, whose second and equalising goal came just five minutes from time.
Maccabi Tel Aviv's Under-16's are the first Youth Division club to round off their season and they finished in style, beating Hapoel Ashkelon 2-0. Raz Yitschak and Tomer Altman scored for head coach Eliezer Ben Aharon's side, who add to the achievement of a National Youth Cup win earlier this month a respectable third place finish in the table. With four matches to go till the end of the season, MTA's Under-15s remain in second place in the Under -15s Central League table courtesy of a 3-0 victory over Bnei Yehuda. Only halfway through the second half did Shlomi Mitelka's lads make the breakthrough, with Roi Ronen netting a brace (his 19th and 20th league goals of the season) and Elad Shachaf adding his first goal of Maccabi Tel Aviv "Eldad"'s season. They will now look to those four remaining matches to whittle away at the five point lead at the top currently held by big city rivals Hapoel Tel Aviv.
Maccabi Tel Aviv's Under-15 Team 2 made it seven wins in a row by beating Section Nes Tsiona 4-1 at home at the Kiryat Shalom training grounds. Guy Shetah scored a brace and Amit and Matan Cohen added individual efforts leaving their side fourth in the table. In the younger leagues, both Maccabi's Under-14 teams suffered defeat, Team South a 0-3 home loss to Maccabi Shoham and Team North 0-2 to Beitar Jerusalem. The Under -13 Team North beat Hapoel Rishon Lezion 4-1 and stayed top of the table, while Team South triumphed 2-0 against Hapoel Beer Sheva.
