On the 29 of August St Patrick’s School participated in the tournament that was held in Dunkirk park.
When I came to school everyone that was playing was in their PE clothes, when some of the children came they brought a supporter that will support us and advise us while we’re walking down, when the morning bell rang all of the people that were playing came straight under the canopy.
After we sat down under the canopy our teacher started to give out instructions, after that our principal came out and started giving out small instructions as well, after that we standed up and went into two lines, then we started walking down to the gate and when we got there we had to wait.
When we stopped we gave way to the cars to go pass before we can cross, after we crossed we were still in our two lines, we started to walk again and when we were walking we were all excited and some of us were nervous, when we got there we had to wait to see if any cars were coming, after that we crossed.
After we crossed the road we walked on the footpath and we went down onto the field to set up our mats, when we were down there he helped with setting up our mats and our PE gear, when we had finished setting up we grabbed a rugby ball and started doing warm ups so we can slowly get our energy up.
After we were all warmed up we were asked by Mr Bell if we can go support the year 3’s and 4’s who were playing, it was Stonefields verses Glen Taylor, it was such an awesome game and Glen Taylor had lots of skills in them and Stonefields has strategies, after their game the winner was Stonefields.
After their game it was time for St Pats 1 and St Pats 2 to play our game, my team was versing Glen Brae 3 it was fun and they scored some tries, after the our game was over we went to the coach and the coach said that we won, we were all happy and when we went to to our other team and they even won, we all started cheering each others on.
Then we waited patiently for our other opponents, after they came my team came up with strategies, our opponents were Glen Innes 1 and they were very skilled and they had lots of strategies, it was such a intense game and it was kind of fun, after the game we already knew the other team won so we just cheered them on.
When we walked to our other team we found out that they won against Stonefields. I was so happy for them until we had to play against each other. It was a great game and I enjoyed it and others enjoyed it, after that we knew St Pats 2 won and I was supporting them.
Then they moved to the grand finals and I was cheering for them so much, they were playing against Glen Brae 2, and Glen Brae was so skilled and good at catching the ball from long distance. It was so intense and it was really hard for St Pats 2 to grab their tags.
After the game, we already knew Glen Brae won and we were happy that we came second, after that we went back and packed everything up and gave back the tags, then we lined up and walked back to school and I was happy that we all tried our best to play.
Next time we know what to do and I hope we can do better.
