Pt England Boys vs Kedgley Boys

We had been fighting and clawing for our spot in the semi finals. This was going to be a tough battle against the winner of the 7’s tournament we went to. Kedgley Intermediate. Once we took a glance at them we noticed they were massive beasts and tried not to focus on their training and get on with ours. This had been the moment we had been waiting for, the only thing that held us back from going out on the field and completely obliterating each other was the ref who was explaining the rules. But once that was over and done with it was time for war.

It was our school kicking off first to these monstrous beasts. BRRRR!! the referee’s whistle blew as the starting hooter also sounded. Kedgley had the first ball retention and were making good use of the ball by reaching our halfway line. Their forwards were the ones doing the hard work and making the yards. Then they passed it out to their first five and he booted it down towards our fullback who dropped the ball and almost let one of the Kedgley players score but luckily our fullback tackled him and he knocked it on. So we finally had the ball and it was time to stand up and fight for our spot in the finals at Eden Park. But instead of having a go at their line we booted it for touch but it didnt make much metres. In fact it only made around 10 metres because Lepa failed his kick. It was kind of funny. But it was time to cut that out and get straight into destroying each other. We could not hold these monsters out and let in Kedgley to get the first points of the game but luckily there first five missed his goal kick.

Then we had to kick off to those monsters had recieved the ball and were making good use of the ball until they lsot the ball and we had it.Anyway we had successfully launched ourselves into Kedgley’s side of the field. Then we were just inches away from their line and it was our powering forward Tui Moa who crashed through the line and put Pt England on the scoreboard. After a devastating first half it came to an end and we were listening to our coaches Mr Marks and Mr Sommervile speak some words of wisdom. But it was only a short break until we had to get back to playing on the field.

BRRRR!!!! the second half whistle went as we received the ball but sadly one of the forwards dropped it because of the pressure that Kedgley were giving us. Anyway it was Kedgleys ball and they were making great use of the ball because they scored an easy try through the backs. Even worse the first five got his kick and the score was 12-5. We kicked off to them but ended up getting the ball back. We also got back down to their territory and I found a gap so I picked the ball up and drove over the try line screaming my lungs out”YEAAAAHHH!!!!” but sadly we missed our kick and so the score was 10-12. We were still trailing and needed to score one more try but that never lasted long when Kedgley scored again thanks to another pressured drop ball and they got their kick. So now the score was 19-10. We kicked back off to them and yet again we reclaimed the ball is if it was our ball. But sadly we lost 15-27.
