Emanuel U15 Boys Football Team
Round 1 Bill Turner Trophy
The Emanuel U15 Boys Football Team travelled to the Waverley Synthetic Field to play their Round 1 Bill Turner Cup match against Rose Bay Secondary College (RBSC).
The Emanuel students played with plenty of enthusiasm and determination against a very strong and classy RBSC Football Team, who had numerous Representative level football players across the field and went deep into the tournament in the competition last year. The first goal and only goal came through a penalty shot from a RBSC striker who hit the football cleanly outside the box to make it 1-0 to RBSC mid-way through the first half.
Emanuel had their chances throughout the match to equalise but unfortunately the team were unable to convert pressure and territory into a goal. The Emanuel U15 Team rallied hard throughout the match with a final opportunity in the last minute created by Eli Jocum who took his brief moment outside the box to kick the ball with his shot being quite impressive given the short amount of time provide by the relentless defence. Unfortunately, the RBSC Goal Keeper answered the question by saving the goal and as a result Emanuel U15 Boys lost the match 1-0 to RBSC.
The Emanuel U15 Boys Football Team played extraordinary well throughout the match and should be proud of the efforts and their never give up attitude. Now the U15 Boys Football Team will look to prepare for the CDSSA Football Championships in early term 2.
Emanuel Open Boys Football Team
Round 2 NSWCIS Cup
Emanuel Open Boys Football Team travelled to Mamre Anglican College to play their Round 2 NSWCIS Football Cup match. This was always going to be a challenge for our team with Mamre Anglican College renown for having a large squad of football players who are currently playing high level representative football. Nevertheless the Emanuel Open Boys gave it their all and fought hard throughout the match and kept the opposition scoreless until the end of the first half. Well done to our Open Boys Football Team who made it through to Round 2 of the NSWCIS this year and should be proud of their start to the football season this year. Now the Open Boys Football Team will look to prepare for the CDSSA Football Championships in early Term 2.
