The winning match

Last night we had a match Oratia Cool Cats v's the Oratia Hawks for a catch up match of soccer. First we did same shots at goal to warm-up but our keeper was sick and I was back up so I was the one that got shot at in the goal. But on the other hand I could pick up the ball which was cool then the other team arrived.

Then it was kick off I was midfielder Tom passed to Kail and then he went all the way (with us fowling Kail to the goal line ) to the keepers goal and booted it right to him. so he punched the ball to the goal line so it was a corner. so Kail did the corner. Kail passed to jamie and jamie passed to me ( with the hawks still at the corner ) so I booted the ball into the goal ( with the keeper still looking at the corner ) and I said "GOAL!!!!!" it was 1-0 .But I forgot to rip open my shirt up. oops getting to far now sorry!!! Now back to the game since we got a goal it was there kick off.

(Right at the back of me was this larch pudie of MUD ) the coach said goal for the cool cats. Kick off for the hawks then it was half time so our coach Kevin told us about the game plain when we wore eating Moorobars hay don't look at me I'm not In charge ok ok good then it was back on I was keeper for this half and then it when it so fast the coach said"full time" then we shook hands with the hawks saying good game good game "ok we get it'' ''ha its my story here'' ''I thought it was real '' ''it is '' ''ok''. lets get to the good point now I got player of the day so at 4:00 tonight at the club room for the prize draw to win a $20 Sterling sports gift card. and you get a bottle of coke + a bag of chips. so at 4:00 we went to the club room for fun and for the gift card. so they called out the 9 yr old boys cool cats it was a win 1-0 at that point I ran up to get the bottle of coke and a bag of chips and they draw out a name for a prize and they called out Josh- I got a $20 Sterling sports vocuher.

Football practice

Well everyone in room 22 are doing Football practice. Football is when you are kicking and passing the ball around and try score some goals. Football is like soccer but you are playing on a big field and your helping your team/group. Football is really fun that you love love it. When you think that Football is fun and you like it the leader will give you a piece of paper and he will tell you everything and where football will be running and then you take the piece of paper home and you tell your parents if you are aloud to join Football. So when you get the piece of paper on the paper will be the cost for the Football. When your parents have signed the paper you bring it in to the teacher and you do what ever you want to do then after school you get to go and have your game of Football.

Football Fun!!!!

On the 5th of August 2009 room 9 went to the courts and played Football with two men they taught us some Football tricks. One of the tricks was to put the ball on the back of your neck and slowly stand up another trick that we did was dribble the ball and make your feet go in a circle around the ball. we played two games one of them was someone had to call out ether foot, hand, fist, fingers, elbows, nose, knee, ear and cheek whatever body part they say out of those you had to put it on the ball.

The other game was called Shark Attack! The rules are everyone has there own ball and they go to one side of the court they have to dribble the ball all the way to the other side two people are sharks and they have to take the ball from the person that is dribbling the ball once they take the ball they put the ball on the side of the court and the person that was dribbling they become a shark to not become a shark you put your foot on the ball and the sharks has to walk away you can only put your foot on the ball one time when you reach the end it renews. after we played Shark Attack every one was sad because our time was up at the end of the day we got a notice joining a Sunday taring team and after school on Tuesday. It was so much fun everyone had a good time.
