The tigers' claws are out!

On Saturday 23rd of May 2015, it was wet and my team Marist Gunners had a game against Eden Tigers. We played at Eden Tigers home ground at Gribblehirst park.

First we did some warm ups by running for 10 metres and back and forth. We ran ten times. Then we went to a tree on the side of the field and put our jerseys on with pride under the tree.

Then we went onto the field and we did some drills like the forward moves and the backs moves like the cut when another person runs behind you and you pop the ball to them and blue which is in the line out when you throw it onto the back of the line out. We come up with secret names for our moves. I feel like a spy when I said each move. It was pouring with rain while we were practising so we dropped the ball a lot  because the ball was wet and slippery like eels.

When we finished our drills it was time for a real game. I had to pick which hand had the whistle in because I was the captain. I chose the right one and so my team had the ball first. Everyone was happy and bouncing around.

Then he game started and the other team kicked off first and the ball was came towards us. We didn't hold back and we caught it. We maintained the hold on the ball and we scored three tries, however we missed the conversions. It was only the first half and we still had 25 minutes in the second half. We scored another two amazing tries in the second half. I scored one of them and I placed the ball in the corner. I had to side step the other team and ran down the field but I got tackled. However I was next to the try line so I put the ball down and I scored. We won and the final score was 25 to 10. 

We had a good game and I felt great because I scored my first try of the season. Next time I will try to score two tries by by passing the ball more.

Dear future students of Saint Patrick’s School,

My name is Aiden and I am year 6 in room 7.

In my days, we were allowed to start school at the age of 5 and we used Chromebooks and books. We use Chromebooks for publishing what we have created and the teacher had to check it first. We used pencils to write in our books. I am guessing you use gadgets in your days.

The Epic Game!

On Saturday, I played rugby for Marist against Team Pakuranga. We were playing at Pakuranga's home ground at Lloyd Elsmore Park. I had to be there there by 9:30 am. But the game didn't start until 10:15 am.

When we got there, I saw one of my team mates. His name is Ty. I also saw his brother Harlem who plays for our team as well. We looked for our team mates, we found them but we couldn't find our coach. Then one of my team mates dad told his son and I to go to the field across the road. When we went across we saw our manager and we we told our team to come over to us quickly because we needed to put in our jerseys. 

We put on our jerseys and trained for 10 minutes and the game started. The cool breeze was blowing on our faces, but we didn't let ruin our concentration. We were focused on the ball as our kicker kicked the ball and we chased it. Team Pakuranga got the ball but we kept on taking it off them. We were given a lot of penalties because we dropped the ball a lot. But we scored two tries.

Half time came and we were puffed out. We had water and got back into the game. Team Pakuranga scored but we still won. The final score was 8 to 12. We won by four points.

Team Pakuranga's defence was very strong and the team work is wonderful so I would not be surprised if they make it far in the competition. I felt so great because we won our first our first game, but I will strive to play better next time. Hopefully we make it to the finals. I am so excited!
