Representative and Inter-school sport news

Last week the Emanuel Intermediate Rugby team played a friendly match against Sydney Grammar School. This opportunity provided a great chance for our team to put all of their training to the test. The Emanuel team did not have the experience of the Sydney Grammar School squad and this showed on the scoreboard. However, the boys are to be commended on the positive and determined attitude that they displayed throughout the match. The game was a great learning experience and the team will benefit from this game time in next term’s David Horwitz Challenge. Thank you to Heath Morley for preparing the team and to Sydney Grammar School for their hospitality.

The Emanuel Year 7 Netball team competed in the TAFE NSW Schools Cup last Thursday at Heffron netball courts. This team showed great potential earlier in the term playing in the St Catherine’s netball competition, where they were narrowly beaten in extra time in the semi-final. They continued to play in this excellent fashion at the tournament last week, winning 3 matches against various schools including Newtown and Moriah College. Thank you to Hannah Vasin and Kerryn Josman for their excellent coaching on the day, and congratulations to all of the girls involved.

Next term the Sydney Schools Cup inter-school sport competition will continue each Tuesday afternoon. In Term 3, Emanuel will be hosting the girls Netball competition and the boys Futsal tournament will be held at All Sorts Alexandria. I encourage all Year 7 and 8 students to get involved in this great competition. If your child is interested in being part of an Emanuel team, please have them email me to confirm their position.
