Clara: What an amazing tournament! I was so looking forward to it, and it was finally here!
The weather was not great, and on the Monday it was pouring down with rain during our final round game, but luckily we played the final inside the stadium which was awesome!
The first day was really nice as we played teams that we thought we could beat, and we managed to come out on top in all of them which was a great start.
The second day we had our toughest challenge against Freo who beat us in the final last year in extra time. We treated this like the final as they had 4 state players in their team. It was a really close and rough game, but in the end we managed to come out on top by 2 which was amazing! This game also put Fremantle in a position where they almost could not qualify for the final.
For our last game we played Perth, but we lost it because we were all exhausted and that we didn't actually have to win. If we lost, it also made sure Fremantle were out of the final, which was a great result and we would much rather play Perth than Freo!
Final day the weather was awful - I came on in the second half of the first game just to get some rhythm ready for the final. The final was crazy! Most of the crowd were against us as they wanted Perth to win. We started with a couple of turnovers and went down early on, but after a few minutes we got into our rhythm, and the whole team started to play well. Our shooters did not miss, and our passing and moving was just how we wanted it. Our defenders did so well too. As we started to get a bit of a lead, Perth started making mistakes and also get a bit rougher which worked into our favour. It was such an enjoyable game, and in the end we won by 5!
Aiysha: This week we played our semi-final against Cottesloe at Associates Rugby Club. I twinged my hamstring on Wednesday, so I was frantically trying to get it ready for the game. I decided to start the game, and even managed to score a try even though I was desperately trying to pass to someone! I took a knock on the head and suddenly had a migraine, so I had to come off which was such a shame!
In the end we won 31-12 which was great, but the second half was a little messy. We are now in the final, so I need to get fit for that! Hopefully my head is okay.
Last week we played our last game against Kala, and the first 25 minutes were great! Then the storms came in, and everything went nuts! Even the team tent blew down! We finally won it 14-12 as we got both our conversions - Pare and Lillie both scored - Lillie with an amazing try by stripping the ball and running half the field!
S: A win was a great present on my birthday. However, the girls were so sweet with their plans! We had pancakes in the morning, and then I received 3 awesome presents - some beautiful soap, an awesome surfboard, and The Augustines LP that made me so tearful. Best present ever! Thanks guys!
C: Happy Birthday Snoobs!
