Best week of my life

WALT  how to use modal verbs in sentences.
1/08/2018
Northland swords
In the 1st week of the holidays my cousin and I went to Whangarei
for our rugby league team. In Whangarei what we did was training,
eating, showering, sleeping, repeat for one more day then my rugby
league team and I woke up at 6:00Am so we can catch the bus to go
to  Rotorua. When we got there the rugby league girls were getting
ready to go in the same bus as us. As we were going we had
stopped at mcdonalds for a kai. A couple hours later we made
it to Rotorua we stayed at a marae right in front of a nice
worm stink ngawha lake.


The next day was GAME DAY all the boys know we had a
chance at winning but we all had to wait and see. Up first
was Taranaki we all watch a video of them when they had the
grand final and they won. What we did was a Tu meke haka to
start our day. Taranaki did one back there haka was real long it
was about three minutes. It was our kick off my cousin kick then
we all chased and this tall as boy ran around all of us but luckily
this boy named Sua ankle taped him outside the line and it was
our ball Sua scored our first try then tries wouldn't stop coming.
After all those tries the score came to 44 - 6 it’s always good
getting a win next we waited about one hour for our next
gamescore came to 44-6 it’s always good getting a win next
we waited about one hour for our next game.


About time we started to train I was stoked to play our
next game. After we finished training we started to head
over to the field we were gonna play on. That game looked
hard but we had to see for our self as we were doing our haka
I was thinking saying in my head why don’t they have a haka.
Kick off time the game has started they kicked off my cousin
caught the ball and passed it to the prop and what do you see.
Straight away we score and like last time the tries wouldn’t stop
coming. The score ended up as 42-8 to wins in a row feels great.
After that unexpected games we did a huge haka to the samoa
under 16s and they did one back. There game was at the same
place we played and the cool thing about it was you didn’t have
to pay to get in.


The next day we all felt tired but nothing was gonna let us
down. Our first game for the day was Waikato and from the
games we watched of them were unbelievable. Kick off time
they kicked off and we were just taking it easy and completing
our sets. When they got the ball they were just too hard to stop
tries were coming there way and at half time it was 16-0 to
them. We all knew we had to improve and what happens our
first try of the day came to us then the second then the third,

fourth and fifth on the last try I was taking my time for the
kick because it was almost full time. From the side I kick and
the ball goes over the whistle goes and we are all so proud of
our whole team. Our next game was at 3:00 I was like wow
thats a long time to wait. Since we made it to finals we had to
watch Taranaki vs Waikato we all wanted Taranaki to win
because Waikato was our hardest opponents and Taranaki
were our easyest. Taranaki got the win but that’s not what
all expected form Waikato I bet they would of been gutted.


Finals time I was stoked to play in finals with Taranaki because
we beat them the first game we played them. Kick off time
we kicked off and straight away they scored we all thought I
was done for us because we knew they improved from the
last game. I kicked off again to Terry's side and an incredible
stripe from Terry to get the ball back for us and we score. We
were down by two because my cousin missed the kick. They
got the ball back and scored then we got the ball back then
scored we were down by four at half time because he missed
the second kick and that’s when it was my turn to kick. My
other cousin verne scored and I had to get the kick because
it was right in front and To easy for me I put us in front and
gave us an advantage and. The ball was kick to us and we got
another try on the corner. I didn’t think I was gonna get the
kick but it all was just to easy for me. They got the ball back
and and scored on the corner but they missed the kick because
he was not as good as me. We kicked off the score was 20-16
and we score in the last minute to make it 24-16 and I got the
goal with my right foot to make it 26-16 in the grand final.
Man we were so happy to win the competition and the best
thing about it was we were the only one to win out of the
under 17s and 15s Northland swords. After that we had a
shower at the fields and then we said our goodbyes because
my cousin and I when to my mums motel and on that night
we went to gengys khan and motion.


If I could go back to that week I would trust me if you
played you would of wanted the same. That passed
week was the best week of my whole entire life I miss
those games and boys.
