Representative Football
Congratulations to Ethan Hirst, Coby New, Gemma Odes, Sienna Poswell and Mischa Spielman who played in the CDSSA representative football teams at the AICES Championships last week. It was a great day of football, with the CDSSA 15yrs girls team winning the championships. The CDSSA 16yrs boys team, coached by Emanuel coach Aytek Genc, was unlucky to lose in the semi-final following a few injuries. Well done to Coby New who has been selected in the AICES 16yrs team and will play at the CIS Championships later in the term.
Well done to the Emanuel Boys Firsts Football team on their successful CIS Football Cup campaign this year. Captained by Aiden Poswell, the team progressed to the final 16. This was a great achievement and despite not progressing to the quarter-finals, the players had a positive season.

Basketball news
Indiana Faithfull – Head of Basketball
Earlier in the term, four Emanuel basketball teams competed in the Year 7 and 8 Jewish Schools Gala Day, convened by Emanuel School. All teams competed very well, and it was an extremely successful day.
The performance of the day, however, went to the Emanuel Boys A’s who went undefeated in the competition. The team faced a competitive Year 8 Moriah team in the Grand Final where Moriah got out to an early lead with some hot shooting, but the Emanuel boys’ ability to control the tempo and manifest easy baskets through their pressure defence meant that the boys were never out of the game. The depth of the Emanuel team, as well as their ability to play an up-tempo style eventually wore Moriah out and meant the second half was all Emanuel. Jed Gottlieb lead the way with his own eight point run within three minutes of the second half. The boys pulled away from Moriah and ended up winning the final by 10 points.
Congratulations to Zack Gerber, Jaime Goldman, Jed Gottlieb, Jake Joffe, Jonah Lemberg, Oliver Novy, Jason Odes, Samuel Owen and Hayden Rosen.
