Year 10 Town Cup Winners
The Year 10s have officially rewritten school folklore — mostly by doing something that few believed was possible: winning the Town Cup. From the very first game, this team showed exactly what they’re about. Defensively solid, relentlessly hardworking, and driven by outstanding teamwork throughout the tournament. The final itself wasn’t a goal fest, but it was packed with determination, grit, and more than a few clearances that definitely went where they were meant to. Probably.
Year 9 Bring Another Cup Home
The trophies really did keep rolling in today as our Year 9 boys added another cup to an already memorable day for EMS. In a closely contested final, the lads produced a disciplined and hard‑working performance from first whistle to last. Their work ethic and commitment were outstanding, with everyone playing their part and sticking to the game plan throughout.
