Finals in Netball!!

On Saturday the 30th of August the netball girls had their final game. My team the TAI Force were up against the Pekerau Jaguars. Our games was very hard but in the end the Jaguars won by two point. Overall the score was 14 12 to of course the Jaguars. In the last quarter our coach told us we had to win this for one very important member, our centre Hayley. At the prize giving the Jaguars got lollies, a black bag and I think they got medals while my team got a candle each. The candles each smelled of vanilla but I think they don’t smell that nice. My coach has two other teams as well as my team one is called the TAI Soldiers and the other is called the Pokuru Hotshots. The TAI Soldiers came second in their grade and the Hotshots came first.

My Weekend

On Friday I had netball practise it was ok. After we had done some practising we played a team from Te Awamutu Intermediate. On Saturday my team the TAI Force had a game of netball so did all the other teams. We played a team called the force to but they were a different team. Even though we lost I still think we palyed really good. After netball my gratgrand parnets took me to Elbert Park because there was a bagpipe  contest. I don’t really know much about it because I didn’t get until the end. The Te Awamutu band came 4th which is pretty good I think. When I got there all the bands that had turned up were playing together it was so cool. My two friends where there to because there dad was playing. The bands were so good!!!! It was a really fun day to bad I didn’t get to wacth it all!!

The Rules of netball

The rules of netball are that you can not step with the ball because you have to give the ball to the other team and you can not bang into other people or else you have to stand beside. You have to have more than 7 players on your team because you swap with your team mates. these are the positions you can play wing defence, wing attack, goal shoot, goal keep, centre, goal attack and goal defence. If there are any other names that you call this game please feel free to tell me also this is what the court looks like

  

Netball

“It was an improved day for New Zealand tranchise teams in the transtasman netball pre-season tournament in Sydney on Saturday. The Southern Steel beat the Queensland Firebirds 29-27; the Magic beat the New South Wales Swifts 27-22, while the Canterbury Tactix defeated the Melbourne Vixens 28-25. But the Magic and Tactix were both beaten by the West Coast fever 27-19, while Queensland also beat the Pulse and Mystic.” Who is your favourite team? Mine is the silver ferns. Not only because it is New Zealand’s team but because I have always wanted to be a silver fern.
