Last Tuesday, 9 kids from Nile room went to Saxton Field to represent Auckland Point School in a tackle 7’s tournament. We won our first game against Clifton Terrace School but lost the rest. That didn’t matter because we gave it 100% and made we looked fantastic as a team. The best game was the one we lost to St Joseph’s because we made strong tackles, scored great tries, had solid defence and did lots of running. Unfortunately they did all of that too, with a little more!
The day was sunny with no clouds at all. The hardest team was the funniest because it was more of a challenge and more tackling to do. I think that was the best bit about it. Auckland Point School didn’t make it to the finals but that’s ok because we tried our best. Hampden Street and Victory made it in the finals and we think Hampden Street school won. That’s just a guess though because we only got to see the start of it because the bus had arrived and we had to go! When we arrived back at school we got a 2010 Makos poster and a lollipop.
