On Wednesday the 2nd of November, It was the touch tournament, the Year 8’s ,7’s and 6’s were split into 4 teams, the Year 8 boys were one team, the Year 8 girls were one team, Year 7 and 6 boys were one team and the Year 7 and 6 girls were in one team.
When we came to school we had to sit under the canopy, then when everyone was here we all made our way out of the school gates, Mr Bell would walk up to the road, look left and right making sure there were no cars and then telling us to cross the road. Then when we arrived at Dunkirk we saw all the other schools, I was excited to play but I was also scared to see the schools we were going against.
When we arrived at our tents, we put our bags down and sat down, we all started talking to one another and ate some snacks, then at 9:45 we all went to our fields to play. Unfortunatly the team I was in lost but it’s okay we all played well, and the Year 8 boys team won, then we sat under the tents and ate some food.
Then later on we all went back to our fields for the 2nd round, my team lost again but we have improved, and the Year 8 girls won, we all came back to our tents tired, then we started chattering to eachother again and ate some snacks to gain some energy for the 3rd round.
We all went back to our fields again to play, we lost again and we kind of gotten better and we weren’t really spreading out that much, we came back to the tents really tired, talked, ate then we went back to the field for the 4th round,
The Year 7 and 6 girls were going against the Year 8 girls, It was so exciting, we lost again but It was really fun, the Year 8 girls were going to the semi-finals, all of us went back to the tents exhausted, we then chatted and ate, a lot, then when we were done we all went to watch the semi-finals, It was “St Patricks G2 vs Point England” Point England won, but the year 8 girls did really good.
Then at the end of the touch tournament we all packed up our stuff and got ready to walk back to school, some people went by car with their families and the others walked back to school, I went with my dad by car back to school to pick up my little brother, then when we picked him up we went back home, exhausted the touch tournament was fun and tiring, and I thank all the families who helped and supported the touch tournament.
