Maccabi held its first ever Maccabi Cup for Years 5 and 6 on Friday 5 April. The Maccabi Cup is an interschool basketball tournament held between Jewish schools in Melbourne for Years 5 and 6. Please click here to see photos from the day. This year, Yavneh, Mount Scopus, Bialik, and King David all participated in the tournament, held at Waverly Basketball Stadium.
Our Year 5 and 6 girls had tough games against a strong Bialik, and well oiled Mount Scopus. However, they finished the tournament with an impressive and nail biting win against Yavneh. They played hard from start to finish and showed amazing determination and grit against the other schools.
The boys started their day off with a tough loss to Bialik, however, winning two in a row against Mount Scopus and Yavneh helped propel them to the top, in a three way tie for first with Bialik and Mount Scopus. After much deliberation and calculation, the KDS boys finished in second, narrowly missing out on first due to point difference.
The tournament ran extremely smoothly, and we are looking forward to future tournaments run by Maccabi!
Congratulations to all our players, you did your entire school community proud!
