Beach Touch Football

Beach Touch Football Tournament
Last Friday Emanuel School entered 7 teams in this annual event held at Maroubra Beach.
Junior and senior girls and boys teams thrived in the ideal conditions at an amazing iconic Australian beach on a spectacular day.
The four in attack and three in defense format makes this game incredibly fast with many quick turnarounds. Running in the sand really tests the student’s athleticism and agility. The day is always a highlight in the sporting calendar. Competing against a broad array of schools including Kambala School, Marsden High, Maitland High, Randwick High, Hurlstone Agricultural High, Sylvania High, Moriah College, International Grammar School, Newtown High and Plumpton High.
Our Years 8-9 junior girls placed 2nd in a rugged match against Maitland High who proved to be too strong for us on the day. Our stand out player in this team was Talia Kleviansky. This was an extremely fast paced game with a high skill level.
Other best and fairest performances came from Alexi Bader (Year 7) Lucinda Labi (Year 7) Sam Milner (Year 8) Maximillian Kidman (Year 9) Justin Sarif, senior boys and Tia Mallinik, senior girls.
Well done to all students who represented Emanuel School on the day.
