Year 7/8 Rugby Tournament

Wednesday 17th June, Our yr7 & 8 girls had their rugby tournament.
 We knew we had six games to play and that each game went for twenty minutes so we knew we would have to pace ourselves so we would still have energy for the last game.

 One of our best games was against ST Annes.
The girls were bigger than us, but we had the advantage of being faster than them, so we could avoid their hard tackles.

Our last game against waimahia caused many injuries. Maria had her knee twisted and squashed under one of their bigger players, so she had to be subbed off. I had my calf stood on by one of the girls and it bruised straight away, so I had to leave the field too. It was a really physical game so we were lucky it was our last one for the day.

The weather was freezing so it was really hard to stay warm in between games, we were glad when we got back on the bus and made our way back to school. It was a good day, but I wish it was a bit warmer.
