On Wednesday we went to a Soccer tournament at Pt England Reserve. I wasn't suppose to go but they told me to put the uniform on and they'll call my mum for permission. The only reason I went was because five of their players didn't come so they picked me to go. When we got there we just had a little play around until our first game started. Our first game was against Sylvia Park A. We ended up with one all so it was a tie. Our second game was against Ruapotaka. We beat them 1 to 0. That was our first game we won on the day. Then our second game was against St Patricks. We beat them 4 to 0. Then our fourth game was against Panmure Bridge School. We tied up with them but this game no one scored a point. Our fifth game was against Glen Taylor I think the bate us 1 or 2 to 0. I think Glen Taylor would be the hardest school we versed because they had fast players and they had subs as well my team never had any subs. Our last game was against Sylvia Park B we lost 1 to 0. I didn't really enjoy this game because this palangi kid kept on screaming in my ear so I tried to shoulder charge him and because most of my team kept on getting contact for them but the ref didn't do anything.
The Otago Highlanders have beaten the lions 23-22 in a thrilling match of rugby. A penalty was given to the Highlanders with five minutes to go which gave the Highlanders the opportunity for a conversion to win the whole game. Earlier during the game Naholo and Coltman scored tries for the team with Sapuanga with two penalties and 2 conversion. In the Lions team they scored three tries Joseph, Seymour and Warburton. The Lions have only won two games out of four during the Lions series. The Lions next game will be against the NZ Maori All Blacks this weekend. I thought that the Highlanders where going to lose because they were down some point in the second half but they kept going and they won the game by one point. What I mostly liked about the game was when the Highlanders gave the sword to the Lions. I got this article from KiwiKids News. What I didn't like about the game was when they just kept clearing the ball because when they went to kick the ball the other team would kick it back and then they would kick it back to them and it would just keep going until they decide to take the ball and run. Good job to the Highlanders for winning their game against the Lions.
