Emanuel Students’ Sporting Achievements

There have been many significant achievements recently in sport at Emanuel.

Futsal

When many of us were finished school for the 2019 year and enjoying the holiday break, the Emanuel Year 8 Futsal team continued playing in the Rose Bay Futsal Competition.
This team played consistently well throughout the season and won the Grand Final, defeating the boys from Moriah 12- 2. Congratulations to Julian Baruch, Shai Farhy, Leo Latter, Coby New, Jack Simon, Jamie Schneider and coach Jordan Kery. 

Earlier this year Ethan De Melo scored a hat-trick in the U19’s Men’s Grand Final at the Futsal National Championships, winning the trophy for his NSW Metro Thunder team. Ethan’s Futsal career continues to flourish following on from his selection in the Australian team last year. 

Basketball

During the summer break, coach Indiana Faithfull, ran the Emanuel Basketball Clinics in Alexandria. Training camps were offered to all High School students and an Elite Training Clinic was designed for the Emanuel Firsts and Seconds teams. Over 20 students attended both clinics which spanned over four days. From beginners to experienced players these holiday clinics gave students the opportunity to refresh skills and team concepts or even try a sport they necessarily would not have done before, in a fun, competitive and inclusive environment. All students responded very well to the program and this is something that we will be looking to run and promote throughout the year in each of the school holidays.  

Oztag

Several individual students have had great success in their individual sports both through school and association pathways. Shai Farhy recently played in the State Oztag Cup at Coffs Harbour, playing in the Eastern Suburbs Oztag
team. Shai’s team progressed to the quarter finals, which was a great achievement. 

Tennis

Last week, Alexander Placek and Jordan Fleischer competed at the AICES Opens Boys Tennis Championships. Both students had a great day of tennis, winning many games.

Alex finished first in his pool and progressed through to the grand final, finishing runner-up for the day. After such great success, Alexander was selected in the AICES Opens Boys Tennis Team and competed at the CIS Championships this week. 

Cricket

Jonah Trope is currently playing in the U15’s National Cricket Championships in Ballarat, after his selection in the NSW Magenta squad late last year. Jonah also recently attended the CIS Cricket Trials through the school pathway and has been selected to trial for the NSW All Schools Team in March.
