High School Touch Football Champions
Each year Emanuel School takes part in the Easts Touch Football School Competition as part of the High School Sport program. The season runs through the summer months, starting in Term 4. Emanuel entered six teams into the competition this season, competing in all age divisions.
Four Emanuel teams progressed to the semi finals, with three teams progressing to the highly anticipated grand finals, which were held earlier this week at Queens Park.
The junior boys team was the most improved team of the Emanuel program. In what is the largest and most competitive division in the Easts competition, the boys progressed nicely and qualified for the grand final to play against Moriah College. Despite a fabulous effort by all, the team was defeated 3-4. Congratulations to Noah Dawson Kelly, Brody Elbourne, Shai Farhy, Justin Faul, Saul Galambos, Samuel Milner, Luca Moses, Mahley Rosen-Tal and Jarah Weinstein.
The senior girls team showed significant improvements in the second half of the season, qualifying for the grand final against Brigidine College. In what was a dominant performance, the Emanuel girls were victorious winning 6-0. Stand out performer was Tali Kleviensky, scoring four tries in the match. Congratulations to Lily Berger, Georgia Kahane, Tali Kleviensky, Romi Lapidge, Victoria Miller, Emily Rubin, Tori Shapiro and Mischa Spielman.
The senior boys team had a very successful season. Many of these boys have developed into excellent touch football players, having been part of the program since Year 7. The team played a highly skilled Waverley College and the match was a great display of the high level of the competition. Emanuel proved to be too strong, winning the match in an exciting fashion 6-5. Congratulations to Jonathan Eremeev who received the Best & Fairest award and to Ariel Berger, Matthew Bozic, Alan Drannikov, Gidon Grunseit, Elijah Grynberg, Benjamin Horwitz, Nathaniel Spielman and Adam Winter on an excellent season.
I would also like to thank the Emanuel coaching staff, Cathy Evans-Birrell, Heath Morley and David Myers, and the staff and parents who have shown their support throughout the season.
