Independent Schools Football Cup

The Emanuel Open Boys Football team finally played their scheduled match against St Joseph’s College, Hunter Hills this week at Heffron Synthetic Field, Maroubra. 

It was perfect conditions for football on Wednesday, in what was a home game for the boys. The team had worked hard in preparation for the match, training twice a week in the lead up to the knockout competition. 

Joey’s scored early, however with some solid defence later in the first half, the score remained 0 – 1 at the break. Early in the second half Emanuel equalised, with a fantastic goal set up by Coby New and finished perfectly by captain, Ethan De Melo. 

The majority of the second half was tight, with Emanuel creating some good opportunities. Despite the valiant effort by the team, Joey’s finished the match with a second goal in the final minutes of the game. 

Congratulations to all the boys, for representing the School in a what was overall a fantastic match and a great display of sportsmanship from all involved. 

The future of Emanuel Football looks bright, with many talented young players making their Independent Schools Cup Football debut and gaining great experience from the senior boys in the squad. 

Thank you to the Emanuel Football coaching staff, Aytek Genc, Jordan Kery and Nathan Hancock and I look forward to the upcoming match for the girls team.
