Futsal

This term a number of Emanuel teams have competed in the NSW Schools Futsal Championships. The School entered both boys and girls teams into all age categories of the tournament, which proved to be a successful opportunity for the development of our players.

The two 16 years division teams played in the grand final of the regional tournament. The boys’ team narrowly lost, after playing in extra time, only to be beaten in a penalty shoot out. The girls’ team also went into extra time and a very tense penalty shoot out; however, they were victorious in the match, winning the overall championship. Both of these teams have now qualified to compete at the state championships in August.

Congratulations to all of the players who participated in this event for their dedication to training and the way in which they represented the School on the day. A special mention goes to Ellie Morris who was outstanding as goal keeper in the winning 16 years girls team, despite playing many years above her age.

I wish these teams the best of luck in their upcoming competition.
