The first season of the East Basketball League came to a climax last weekend, with the finals being held at various venues across the Eastern Suburbs.

The Emanuel 18 years team is very experienced and have been playing in the Easts Basketball League now for a number of years. They have improved immensely this season and are to be congratulated on the commitment and dedication that they have shown to their sport. Congratulations to Joel Aaron, Greg Allen, Oliver Evans, Matthew Joffe, Noah Klein, Joshua New and Jesse Waller.

The Emanuel 16 years teams have had a challenging season due to a number of unrelated injuries, however the boys have shown great spirit and have certainly grown as a team. Well done to Tal Boskila, Alon Erez Rein, Ari Karjalainen, Max Kidman, Jesse Koslowski, Aaron Lemberg, Oscar Morgan, Guy Rein, Jonathan Sebban and Jesse Waller on your persistence and perseverance.

It was a very successful season for the younger boys, with both of the 14’s teams making progress throughout the season. The 14Bs worked very hard on developing their skills and I look forward to seeing them continue to improve next season. Congratulations to Ethan Berman, Noah Dawson Kelly, Levi Ehrlich, Daniel Melamed, Coby New, Ben Rozen, Jamie Schneider and Samuel Milner.

The 14As team had an amazing season, going through undefeated. They played in a very physical final against the Kangaroos, who have been long term rivals. The boys are to be congratulated for maintaining their composure and winning the match 32-22. Congratulations to Brody Elbourne, Aaron Glass, Joshua Hirst, Matthew Lowy, Sacha Rosen, Ben Shapiro, Jake Sharp and Remy Waller on a great victory.
