Just as March started Melville's rippa team got together and begun practising. For a week and a half we did drills during our lunch time getting ready for our tournament that was on Thursday the 6th of March.
It was the day. The day that we had to play our best. Our first game was against St Joseph's Red. We lost that game because we were practising the wrong rules but it was only our first game so we all held our head up high and hoped for the best for the rest of the games.
Our next game was against Gordenton B. Finally we won our first game. We all worked well together as a team even the boys shared the ball to the girls a lot in the game. A lot of us got a try. Me, Luke, Chilo, Jackson and Drasan all got a run away try.
The next games were against Gordenton A, Te Kowhai B, Te Kowhai A and St Joseph's Black and guess what, we won those games as-well. Because of that we made it to the finals where we versed St Joseps Red again. We all were tired but we sucked it up. Sadly we lost the finals but we still made it to Regional's.
Here comes some more practise's for our runners up rippa team bring on regional's.

ReplyDeleteGreat that you did so well with your Rippa Rugby and that detailed all the games at the tournament. I also enjoyed watching the video that went with it. I couldn't believe how dry the ground looked, it looked like it might have been very hard to run on. In Taranaki we don't have Rippa Rugby unfortunately. We are having our Swimming Sports Shortly and had our Athletics last week.
We've also got our Basketball starting next week because we are sending a team to the NZAIMS Games later in the year. We might even see Melville Intermediate there so that would be nice. I will keep watching for sports results throughout the year so please make sure you keep updating everything and good luck for the regionals.
