Football news
It has been an exciting week of football, with the first round of the NSWCIS Football Cup played on Tuesday, in wet and difficult conditions. The Emanuel 1sts Girls Team showed great strength and commitment in what was a close match against a competitive Inaburra team.
Sienna Poswell got the team off to a good start with a goal in the 20th minute, however shortly after Inaburra responded. At 1-1, Emanuel played a strong second half, dominated by the back four, Mischa Spielman, Hannah Kim, Eden Levit and Sienna Poswell, and Victoria Miller covering great ground in the middle. Congratulations to all players and a special mention to Lucia Meyer who did an excellent job in goals and Year 7 newcomer, Riley Carr.
The Boys 1sts match followed later in the day, up against St Aloysius’ College. Emanuel out-played the opposition, with a convincing 3-0 win, with goals from Shai Farhy, Ethan Hirst and Ethan Berman. Well done to all the boys for a great team effort and which was held together nicely with solid defence from Coby New and Reece Carr at the back, and led by co-captains Mahley Rosen-Tal and Ethan Berman who were courageous up front.
