Quick Rip Tournament

In Te Ngahere if you wanted to play and you signed up you could play Quick Rip. We only had 3 days of practice and drills until we had to play in a tournament at Kerikeri Rugby Field. We had arrived at the rugby field at about 10ish but our first game wasn’t until 10:30 so we did some passing drills and waves. Every team had 3 other teams to play. Paihia School’s team played Kerikeri High School 2, Rawene and Kaikohe. We won against Kerikeri High school 2 and Rawene but Kaikohe was too good and it looked like they had practiced nearly everyday and had played games in the weekends they also won every game they played. After we had finished all our games we played passes because we were waiting for peoples parents/grandparents to arrive so they could help with transport back to school. Near the end of us passing the ball I kicked the ball and it went onto the roof and got stuck until Fonz got it out of the gutter. I was really embarrassed when that happened. I enjoyed the entire day playing but I think I need to sharpen up my catching when the ball is passed to me. I think I was good at ripping people in the first two games but not the last game because I couldn’t keep up with the team from Kaikohe but that didn’t matter because I enjoyed the match.
