Basketball
Last night I played my first basketball game for this season. Our whole team turned up at 6:00pm to play. But the other team didn’t turn up so we automatically won. We soon played a frienly game with the people we could find but we got thrashed. Soon enough the other team turned up and we played them. We played right through half time because the other team were late. After about another ten minutes of playing the game was over and we had to get off the court. We had lost 24-12 but had already won. It was a good game even though we were in the shambles in the first half. All our team members got a basket or tried to anyway.
Netball
On Saturday my team the Soldiers played off against the Paterangi Comrades and won 12-5. It was a good game but they played rough and we got bowled over quite a few times. On that Sunday we played in the Te Awamutu Netball tournament. We played in the year eight grade and played against St Pats Magic then Korokunui cougas then thames year eight which was there rep team and then Te pahu white. There was eight minutes each half and two minutes in the middle. When we faced St Pats Magic we didn’t do that extremly well. In the first half we were still warming up and some of our team members couldn’t catch the ball it got better in the second half. The final score was 10-4 to them but we think we did well. Next up was Korokunui Cougas. We weren’t really woried about this team because we believed we could beat them. In the first half we were up but not by much we were striving more and more and wanted to win in the end we did but didn’t see the score. We had a 18 minute break until our next game and all had a snack the buzzer went for full time for the other games and we were on against Thames year eight. In the first half we were down by heaps and knew we wouldn’t win but we got back out there and did our best we got the ball a couple of times and were putting in the goals. Soon the buzzer went and it ended up being something four to them. Our last game we played was the easiest one it was against Te Pahu White. In the first half I played GA like I had that whole day. I got a lot of shoots in but so did the GS soon that game was over with us winning something nil. We had an awesome day and watched the final of our grade it was Thames year eight against Te pahu Red. Thames won and Te Pahu came runners up. We didn’t get a prize but it was a great game.
