Our Semi-Final

“WHOA!” I think to myself as we head into the Semi Finals. “Kedgley is a big school with Massive boys.” In our rugby season, we are versing Kedgley Intermediate for the Semi Finals. The winner of this game advances into the Grand Final at Eden Park. We knew this wouldn’t be easy.

“There goes the whistle!” Mr Marks yells to the team. We were kicking off first. Our captain Lepa kicked it straight to a man called Dakotah. He plays for Mangere East in rugby league. Through out this half, there were hard tackles and line breaking runs. Finally, We went over the line with Tui. All the forwards had pushed him over the line and we scored. "YEAH" the crowd roared. But Kedgley Scroed straight after that. Going into half time, it was 7 points to 5.

"Yes" I said to myself. The reason why I said yes was because Kedgley were kicking off to us. But unfortunatly, they scroed first. Dakotah kicked it over for an extra 2 points. We quickly kicked off to them and with all the pressure on them, they knocked the ball on. After that, Samuela caught the ball from an intercept. He ran 20 metres. 10 meters out, we charged over the line to score again. Lepa missed the kick which made it to 12-10.  At the end of the game we lost 26-15.

We have had fun this season. We gave our fans 3 cheers and we gave our coaches 3 cheers. It was so emotional but a cool experiance. I can't wait for next year.
