Rugby+7s

On September the 6th Monday morning the aims games began, the rugby 7’s meet up at Pukekohe intermediate at 10:00 am and slowly one by one kids of the team showed up, by 10:30 everyone had arrived, so we packed our luggage into the hired van then we set off on our way to the Aims games which was held in Tauranga the trip lasted two and a half hours, on arriving we called in at the fields we were going to play on at Tauranga Domain, after we went to our camping grounds called the Golden Grove we paired up in to 4 groups of 3 for our tent arrangements, after that we put all our bags in the tent then went to find Jack and Michael when we found them Jack showed us where every thing in the camp was. We then played games. Then at 6:00pm went all got into our tracksuits and jumped into the van and left to the Mount Monganui R.S.A along with everybody from our school then we lined up and went into the R.S.A to have dinner and dessert after everyone had finished we all headed back to Golden Grove, when we got back we played around for another hour an a half then got ready for bed at 10:00pm we went to sleep. In the morning we woke up at 7:00am to get ready for our 1st games our 1st game was against Tuaranga Intermediate they had won the whole of bay aplenty competition last year so we knew it was going to be a challenge in the 1st half we held them up so there was no tries scored but in the second half we started to get to tiered so we lacked defence so we struggled to hold them up but as soon as they got one try in we started to put our heads down the next one we were so sure we held him up but the reef allowed the try, then we let another try in an the whistle went to signal the game was over then game 2 was about to start so we warmed up, the game started we were sure we was going to win but sadly we didn’t then we had two more games after that out of them two games we won one lost one so It was a disappointing day when we got to camp we all just played in the games room and played cricket just to waist time then again we went to the R.S.A at 6:00pm and repeated the first day and in the morning we woke at 6:00 had break fast shower then went to the stadium where we are playing this game was the most important game in the tournament for us because it decided what pool we would be playing for so it was a must win for us, we ended up not winning but we didn’t let that get in our way. After that we had 4 more games left so we made the best of it an we won the next 3 games coming 17th out of 22 teams winning 4 out of 8 games in that afternoon we went to the hot pools until 5:30 then we left to dinner when we got back we all just talked about how fun the next few days are going to be. We stayed up till around 11:00 but then we got told to go bed cause we was to loud an other teams still had games on. Next morning we had to decide what to do in the end we decided to go rock climbing and mini put they were all really fun and frustrating but cause it was Thursday so the next day was our last the next day we woke up nice and late at 9:00am we had breakfast once again then took down the tents packed them up got our bags ready put every thing in the van cleaned the games room then left to watch the net ball girls we did some cheer leading for them too but we weren’t that good at it. Anyways it seemed like it worked because they thrashed the other team. After that every one went to the end ceremony it was the most agonising hour ever watching other schools go up but then it had finished an we started our long trip back to the small town Pukekohe when we got back every one slowly departed with there parents.
