Emanuel Rugby vs Sydney Grammar School
The Emanuel 1st XV Rugby team and the Emanuel Junior Rugby team played Sydney Grammar School (SGS) in our annual pre-season friendly fixture at Weigall Playing Fields in Week 8.
The Emanuel 1st XV Rugby team played SGS 3rd XV in what was a tightly contested match. The Emanuel 1st XV scored two impressive tries with the first off, a handy backline play orchestrated between David Winter and Oliver Novy from the scrum set piece. With David providing some deceptive foot work confusing the SGS defenders and tipping the ball on to Oliver who scored under the posts. Zack Gerber scored a dazzling length of the field try beating three defenders with fancy footwork, speed and his signature strong fend. Other impressive efforts throughout the match go to Boaz Hadid who was named by SGS as Man of the Match for his hard running and brutal defence. Emanuel successfully defended their try line in the remaining five minutes to hold SGS 3rd XV out and kept the score at full time 12-12.
The Emanuel Junior Rugby team played their first game for the season, and it was obvious as the match progressed the Emanuel students develop more confidence and skills. As a result, the Emanuel Junior Rugby were able to score a few late tries and close the gap. With the end result being four tries to Emanuel – six tries to SGS. A noteworthy moment was when Jake Rosenfeld scored a length of the field try with his impressive speed, running around three defenders.
