Our Softball Tournament ...

We were so blessed to have good weather. It was a very hot day but we were walking through
damp wet grass. I said to myself that it was going to be a very fun day. As we walked closer,
Miss Paton said that we were on the 7th diamond. So we put our bags down and pulled
out our gear to practice. Miss Paton asked us if we wanted her to grab her tarpaulin from
the car and we responded with yes. On every diamond the were at least two boys from
Wesley Intermediate to umpire the game.

In my team there was Angel, Meron, AJ, Ferah, Karla, Charlee, Myself, Tiana, Sayonara
and Havana. We started to practice at around 9:30. We were in a circle passing the ball and
catching then we started to bat. The day before our big game we had training with Mr Kopua
and he said “To play softball you need to know how to hit the ball, catch the ball and also throw
the ball.  Our first game was  at 10 am against Ponsonby and i feel that our first game was
good, but the scores were 4 - 7 to ponsonby. Our second game was on the same diamond
but we versed St Joseph's School, they were a really good but surprisingly we drew by 7 - 7.
Our third game was on the same field against Mt Roskill it was so close but the points were
6 - 7 and the win went to Mt Roskill.

At the end of the day it was a good game. We left May Road Memorial Park very exhausted.
Overall I think the good thing was that we all worked as a team. We didn’t come first, second
or third which was sad but we had a good day. Our placing was 11.
