The league game


Last Saturday I had a rugby league game. The reason why I had a rugby league game is because it was for trials, for the Hornby panthers. I found that I will be playing at the Linwood park and in the Linwood Territory.

I was getting ready for my rugby league trilles against the Linwood Keas at Kyle Park in Hornby. Before the game started I had to warm up, I practiced getting my league moves and league plays.

The reef yelled out to both teams to go into the middle of the field and he started talking about the rules. After that the captains played paper scissors Rock. The captain of our team won so that means that the captain of my team gets to pick ethir we receive the ball or us kicking to them. The captain was thinking inside his brain, and finally chose something,what He chose for us was receiving the ball. The Linwood Kea’s kicked off to the undefeated team, the Hornby Panthers.


Our team moves were, China 1. China one is when the half runs with the ball outside and the person beside the ball runner runs behinds the ball runner then the half cuts him. Our 2nd play is china 2. China 2 is just like china one, but the half through a dummy at the inside person and passes the ball outside to the other person. Our 3rd play is a blocker, a blocker is when a loseforeward runs straight across the half and the half dummy's him and through the ball to a prop. Our 4th play is twenty two. Twenty two is when the half double cuts two in the inside. After that, the incredible couch called out to all child in the team to go to him.

We lined up as a team looking at the Humongous kids that were in the Linwood territory. The linwood keys kicked the ball and well the ball was in air, the half catches it and done a little pop to the prop that was running behind him. After that it was a blocker, then the next move was 22. After that we done a China 2 China 1. Secondly was prop shooting into the middle with the ball. Thirdly we done a kick chase. When we kicked the ball we were chasing our hardest but we kicked too far it made all of us tied. When I was tied I couldn't even breathe one air out of my mouth. The other team caught the ball and ran hard and straight. Well he was running and pumping his legs, he accidently fell over and knocked on the ball and handed the ball over. Secondly when he handed it over we were in green zone. Green zone means that we could have a chance of scoring a try or a goal. Well we were on green set we got the props to make yards. The props made lots of yards then the full back came along and scored us a amazing try. It was half time, both teams were puffing air out of their mouths. We all got called to go to our coaches. When we got to the coach we huddled up in a group and well we huddled up some of us were scrolling the water bottles. The coach was calling out the names that were going out at second half. As he was calling out the names blablablablabla and then it came to my possession and he changed me off and put a friend of mine, Lasa on. So after that I was crying in my head.

The second half started and our team kicked off. My team was chasing and chasing hard. They were showing their personal best at chasing. Secondly we tackled them 4 times after that 4 tackles it was last. 5th and last, that means the other team has to kick the ball to my team. When they kicked the ball they kicked it short so we were on green zone. After that green zone we scored our 6th try, but then secondly the linwood keaes came back with a come back. Through the game there were lots of try savers and scores. After that it was full time, with linwood keaes with the lead. Our team only 1 try above the other team.

After 2 days later, my mum had checked her Facebook and went on to the team page and saw that I had mad into the Hornby Panthers team, secondly  I was happy and excited for the next game.
