WEEKEND

On Saturday I woke up early in the morning and went with my mum.  She dropped me off to my netball game and It was still quite early.  When I got there I saw ms Siaoloa and Ms Lynn had already arrived,ms Siaoloa gave me the bags to go with to where we were playing and do our warm up.  I saw Fa’asua just standing around like she was lost.  I was surprised and I asked her what she was doing because we were supposed to be at the back where we always play.

She didn’t know because it was her first time but that was ok.

We went to the back and did our warm up and Psalms was already there.  We all did our laps, shuttle runs and stretches,some more of the girls were coming and Ms Siaoloa showed us how to play this passing warm up.  We did more warm ups to get us started for the game and because we had heaps of time.  The A team had their first game and we watched them.

A little while after we knew we only had four players altogether from our B team.  We were waiting and waiting for others to come but they still hadn’t come,it was 3 minutes till our game.

“MISS MARGARET'S HERE,MARGARET’S HERE!!!!!!!” SHOUTED ALIYAH. Yes Margaret had finally come and we had five players,it wasn’t that much but at least we had enough to play a game.

Our game started and blow! Went the whistle.

It was really hard for me because I had to try and defend the goal attack and the goal shoot.  I was really giving it my all but in my head I didn’t actually think I was doing very well.  I think the other girls gave it their best shot as well and that we may have been losing but we tried.  When it was halftime I was really happy because Margaret was gonna swap positions and help me out.  I was so grateful that Margaret was there to help me,she also did really good.  

At the end we lost by ??? I don’t know but yes we lost.  Ms Siaoloa was telling us we were doing good,I was surprised when she said I was like a machine out there and that I was doing very well.  When she said that I felt happy and she cheered me up that I almost cried??? I actually felt empty right at the moment when ms Siaoloa broke it to us and said there was no longer a B team because some of the girls aren’t trying hard enough to commit to Saturdays.Ms Siaoloa told us we were free to go or stay,I decided to stay for a little while because I wanted to support the A team.Unfortunately I only stayed for A little while of their game.

At the end of the day I felt sad that there was no more B team but happy that at least we got to play and that some of us have a chance in the A team.
