school soccer

Today, the 22nd of may, the schools soccer competitions had taken place. Its an event that takes place in a very humongous field in which different schools with teams consisting of various ages compete against each other in different organized 20 minutes long soccer matches. And this year I was a part of G.I.S' ( Greenmeadows intermediate school) soccer team!!! Me and other 3 boys, who's not going to be mentioned here,arrived first at the field of our games, and believe me you won't want to arrive first. what us four did when we arrive first were:

• Carry the goals to their designated positions, it was kinda heavy and what made it more hard to carry was that the steel frame was wet and I almost froze to DEATH!!
• Organize the cones that will mark half way and the corners, we had to place cones around 3 big fields!

After organizing playing areas the rest of my team arrived, and our matches were shown to us

Here were our matches:

• G.I.S versus Central Counties
• G.I.S versus Weymouth intermediate
• G.I.S versus Manurewa intermediate
• G.I.S versus Rosehill intermediate
• Semi finals

I played as a defender against central counties.Our first game against central counties was challenging, their players were good but in the end it came to a tie. Then the honk went and off we went to our next game. It was against Weymouth intermediate in which I came off and became a sub, but even without me we still won against them and no offence to them but they were pretty amateur as my friends said.

A 20 minute rest was then given to our school for there was an odd number of year 8 teams and one had to rest. While resting we watched our school's year 7 team play and we had a bit of a rest. And after that looooooooooong boring rest we then "versed" Manurewa intermediate in which my soccer club's captain, Shady Cowans, was playing for. I played as a defender which was ok for me even it was, as people say the   

"boringest" position. My club's team captain sure was tough and skilled but with my team "working together" we surpassed them and became victorious!!! 

the luck has been with us just until we " versed " Rosehill intermediate, it was an outstanding defeat for us and starting from that we lost all our semi finals but even if we came 4th and probably last we still were very proud to just to represent GreenMeadows intermediate schoo!!!.....
