We did that for awhile until we got called to sit down. We were down for a while until we got called by Aunty Baba. We got chanted in and then we all sat down. There was a dad that volunteered to do the talking for us. After a while they did a song. That's when we did Tu Mai Ra.  We were listening to the people telling stories.

KNOCKOUT FINALS!!!!!

Guess what on the weekend Me and Wainui Thunder went and played mangapapa for the cup of knockout finals. We already have one trophy before but we just won two more for the school.

We arrived on the freezing cold saturday morning ready for action. We were furious. We do our warm ups. We then hear Blake blow the whistle, Derek hands out the positions for the team. Nikau was in goal, Toby was Right back, Chester was center back, Charlie was left back, Ziggy was center mid, I was on the right wing, Gavin was on the left wing and Seve and Kya were up front. Rory, Shea. We started off because Chester guessed which hand it was in.

The whistle  blew and kia kicked off. We would go and it would be up and down. Finally Nikau gives the ball to Ziggy and he boots it across the field and I Shoot and get it bottom left corner. We get back to half way and reset. We go up and down the pitch, some missed shots came to Ziggy smacking a knuckle ball right into the centre of the net.We repeat the same thing over again and Ziggy took a shot from the retreat line and got it in. It goes the same way and then I

get the ball to my feet, I run up and i had a 1v1 with the keeper. I curl it around the keeper, It goes in. we started and then Ziggy passes it to gavin. He was put in left back and then he still scored from just over half way.

The final score was 5-1 to us and we won the cups, i think we all had a great time.
