AICES Touch Football 

On 14 March 2023, Eli Jocum (Year 8) and Lucinda Labi (Year 12) represented CDSSA in the AICES Touch Football Carnival. Seven associations across NSW participated in this event, putting forward their strongest U15 and Open Age teams to progress to CIS. Eli and Lucinda both played crucial roles for their teams; On the day, Eli managed to score an amazing eight tries while on the wing, and Lucinda set up multiple tries through the middle as well as her notable efforts stopping tries in defence. I’m proud to announce that both Eli and Lucinda took home 2nd place medals! It was a very successful day for our Emanuel students.

Firsts Basketball 

Every Wednesday in Term 1 our Firsts Basketball team has competed in the CDSSA Firsts Basketball Competition. Last week the team won the semi-final with an impressive score of 55-46 in a strongly contested match against SEDA College. SEDA had beaten Emanuel in their previous three encounters across all competitions so this was a huge effort that reflected a lot of growth from the Emanuel boys in lifting their level of competition and chemistry on-court. This meant that Emanuel were set to play Reddam in the Final which was hosted this past Wednesday 29 March.

Reddam had handily beaten Emanuel 71-55 just two weeks prior and late in the fourth quarter of the final, with 90-seconds remaining and Emanuel down 81-68 it was looking like a repeat of their previous encounter. However, the momentum suddenly shifted in favour of Emanuel with the boys bringing the game back to 82-79 with just six seconds left. Jake Sharp nailed a buzzer-beating three to tie the game and send it to overtime. In overtime, the Emanuel boys continued to play off the back of their positive energy and won the game 95-91 winning the competition for the first time. It was a spectacle to all observers and a great display of resilience and playing till the final whistle by the students. 

AICES Basketball

Alex Kirievsky and Marcus Tsimbler were selected to represent AICES against the CAS and ISA representative teams. Alex was selected to play in the Firsts and Marcus in the Seconds.

While both AICES team lost their respective exhibition games both players represented their school and association well. Marcus’s performance against CAS must be commended. AICES Seconds were down by 24 points at one stage and mounted a comeback to lose by just five points, with Marcus top scoring and rallying his teammates to keep competing despite the lop-sided score at that point.
