Touch Football

Kristy Reed | Sports Co-ordinator & PDHPE Teacher

As part of the EActive program, six Emanuel teams compete in the East touch football competition during the summer terms. After dominating the season, the Years 9/10 girls team competed in the grand final on Tuesday. They played a highly skilled and very fast St Clare’s team in what was an entertaining game of touch. After 40 minutes of match time and many spectacular tries, the full time score was drawn at 5-5. The match went into an extra time drop off system when Danielle Rutstein scored the winning try. This capped off a wonderful season for her in which she also was awarded the Best and Fairest Award.

Congratulations to all players in both the girls and boys teams for a great season of touch football, despite the rain interrupted season.

In particular congratulations go to the Years 9/10 grand final winning team: Tasha Lapidge, Tia Mallinick, Sienna Meyer, Zoe Miller, Alexa Narunsky, Ashlee Orleow, Chelsea Rutstein, Danielle Rutsein, Lara Rutstein, Mia Shapiro, Sarah Sharwood.
