Football

Term 1 has provided an excellent opportunity for the Open Boys Football team to focus on their football training. The team competed in the Combined Independent Schools’ Football Cup which is the most prestigious football competition amongst the independent schools in New South Wales.

For the first four weeks of term the team prepared well and trained three times a week with the Emanuel football coach, Aytek Genc. Last week the team played against Inaburra at Hensley Field. It was a very close match for the first 70 minutes, however the opposition proved to be too strong in the closing stages of the match. All boys in the team are to be congratulated for representing the School with pride and showing commitment to their team. Congratulations to Aidan Satz who opened the scoring in the first few minutes with an excellent goal. As the squad is very young, I look forward to seeing their progress over the next 18 months.

Coming up
Next week the annual CDSSA Football Gala Day will be held on Wednesday at the International Football School. Emanuel has entered teams into all four of the divisions –  junior girls, senior girls, junior boys and senior boys. I wish these teams the best of luck.
