Hockey

This week my West Coast hockey team are travelling to Blenheim for a hockey tournament against Moubrough and Nelson under 13 a-teams. We leave on Saturday and play on 1 on Saturday and the other on Sunday as well. We will play 1 game against each team. This is my third and final year of -13 and I am looking forward to it. 

This is a tournament to prepare for the big tournament in Omaru. The big tournament is against Cantubury and Otago teams as well.  

I hope our team does well because alot of our players ar eon their last year. 

Netball

This week I played Netball for Grey Main. We beat St Pats in the final 18-16. I played the whole game at GD and WA. I like Wing Attack the most because that it what I played the whole tournament in basically. 

These are the teams we played Awahono, Cobden, St Pats, Karoro (semi final), St Pats (final). We won all the games and the closest was the final. 

I enjoyed playing in the Netball but it was kind of weird. 

Netball

This term me and my friends decided to try out for the Grey Main netball team to play in a tournament that we one last year. We had two trials and a squad was selected to train once a week for two weeks. Yesterday a team was selected and I made it, only four from the squad of fourteen were droped.  I had never played Netball before and it was pretty confusing at the start but I have the hang of it now. 

I am looking forward to the tournament. 

The finals

This weekend I played and captained the Blaketown under 14 rugby team from fist five to beat Marist in the final. We played in very cold, windy and wet conditions.

It is my first year in the grade which means I am a younger player in the team.

We got of to a good start by applying lot of pressure ant trapping them in their own corner with the wind against them.  We go rewarded by the continuous pressure scoring two converted trys in a row. Then Marist bounced back and scored one of their own. I scored a try halfway through the first half. At halftime we were leading by 19 points. Marist in the second half with the wind behind made a slight comeback. The final score was 50 - 36 to us. 

After the game I made a speech to describe the game thank Marist and say how leading up to the game we tied both games. I also thanked the supporters, managers and our coach.

After the speechers we went and had a 25 minute hot shower to warm up.

I am so happy we won.

Term Highlight

The highlight for this term was all the sport we got to play like Rugby, Sevens, League, Basketball, League in Christchurch and Hockey. 

We did really well in everyone and we Hold the Rugby 15s, League and Hockey cups. 

I'm looking forward to term 3 but I'm just happy to have the holidays. 

Weekend sport

This weekend my rugby team is playing against Marist. I play for Blaketown and we a really close with Marist. I play Firstfive for Blaketown. We have 22 people in our rugby team and we are pretty good. We won the pre-season ripa but came second it ten a side. 

We have won the final 2 but last year we lost to Marist in the final 20 - 22. We also won 2 against Marist in the final.

This week Kaleb and I went looking for people to play hockey for school. Last year our team drew in the final against Karoro and I scored the winning goal in the semifinal against  St Patrick's.
