TES Triumph Again in KFSAC Athletics for the 4th year Running
On Monday 25th March TES Y3 to 6 Athletics team competed in the annual KFSAC Athletics competition. Many parents were there to support their children in a superb event. Having won the competition for the past 3 years TES were looking for a 4th consecutive victory. The team took part in 7 events that included: high jump, long jump, triple jump, shot putt, javelin, relay and hurdles. TES dominated throughout in both the Y3/4 competition and the Y5/6 competition either winning or finishing 2nd in each of the events. Seven schools were involved and at the end of the event it was not a surprise that TES won both the Y3/4 and Y5/6 competitions to be crowned KFSAC Athletics overall champions for the 4th year running. NES were 2nd and KES 3rd place.
Well done to all involved, a superb effort and a wonderful achievement to win this competition for the 4th year in a row:
Y3/4 team: Cameron McEwan, Basil Tuma, Danny Habli, Tom Ocock, Rami Miski, Alexia Tingey, Nadia Toh, Zeina El Kadi, Cassia Reynolds and Aaliyah Al-Obaid
Y5/6 team: Ian Robb, Khalid Alrowayeh, Ashlin Blackburn, Amer Salah, Rayce Abal, Emma Jones, Amy O Kane, Cameron Uys, Hannah Mathew and Aysha Al Arfaj
ISACK Boys Volleyball and Girls Basketball teams make the Semi Finals
Before the Easter break the U13 girls basketball team took on ESF in their 3rd game of the season. The girls produced an extremely dominant performance and won the game 67-3. Nawal Arfan top scored for the girls and it was a superb effort from the team. The girls now have their toughest two games of the season to come against KES and BSK but are already assured of a semi final spot after 3 wins from 3 games so far.
The boys this week travelled to ESF for a tough game on a very small court and in an intimidating environment. The game started very well for TES but ESF showed good character and kept the game close. TES hung on though and took the first set 25-23. The second set was even closer. ESF got off to an excellent start and at one stage were 14-3 up. However excellent serving from Donaven Lobo pulled TES back into the game. Points were then swapped back and forth but eventually at 24-24 TES won the next 2 points to win the game 26-24 for a 2-0 victory. The result means TES have reached the semi final and their final game next week v KES will decide whether they get a home advantage for the semi final.
U13 Boys are triumphant in the U13 Boys Swimming Gala
On Monday 15th April TES hosted the second boys ISACK swimming gala of the year. 5 schools took part in the U13, U15 and Open age categories. TES entered the U13 category and all of the swimmers produced superb results. TES finished in 1st, 2nd or 3rd in all of the events and won both of the relays. This ensured TES were once again crowned U13 champions with NES 2nd and BSK 3rd.
Well done to all of the swim squad involved: Sam Watts, Alex McEwan, Adam Gamali and Ethan O Kane.
