In term 1 our school participated in various sports such as softball, swimming,  cricket, Ripa tag, I will be talking mainly about softball. We went to softball with high hopes of winning.we have been training every lunch and we have been making lots of improvement. Soon we had been informed that the year 7 boys had made counties because no other schools had entered in this tournament. So we were excited to be able to go to the counties.

We soon left to go to the counties. We went with high hopes of winning when we got there we set down a tarp under a tree and left all our bags a gear on the tarp we all grabbed a glove and paired with a buddy and the we grabbed a ball to warm up our pitcher ( laiko/shabd) were getting ready to pitch to the back stop. 

 

We were ready to play our first game. We went on to versus Pukekohe intermediate and won. We had won with  3 games left. It was already 10 am so we decided to eat morning tea. Our next game was against Manurewa 7 boys at 11 am we were practising our throwing, pitching and catching. 

 

In these games we were nervous because their pitcher could pitch really fast. When it was my turn to bat I was hit by the ball so I got a free walk. We ended up losing these last 3 games and came dead last but we all had fun which was the most important.
