Rox: Wow, it has been such a great week! I managed to get 3 medals this week which was so fun!
We've been training or Junior State Championships for a few weeks now, and our team has been looking great. We've beaten the other age groups apart from U18 in training, which was promising. When we got to states, there were quite a few weaker teams, and a couple of strong teams - Peel and Southern. We lost to Peel in the round games, but when we got to finals, we managed to beat Northern and then Southern in the final convincingly. It was such fun, and I really enjoyed it more than last year as I knew a lot more this year and was more involved. I almost knocked a boy out too, which was funny. My favourite game was when I scored a hat-trick of tries!
We then had our local Brothers Tuesday night tournament which we also won - we didn't expect to win. I played for Legacy Whanau, and we played Bayswater Aces, and surprisingly beat them by a few tries.
Finally, I was going to receive an award at the Mater Dei Awards evening - I had no idea what it could have been for - Religion? I was really hoping for the Sports Award, and I got it! I was so happy! Last year I couldn't take part at all, so I was so proud to receive it!
Mmmmm, dim sum! Our reward for States! Finally!
Paish: Junior States was so much fun - we had a great team at Brothers, and met Northern in the final. We lost to them in the round games, so it was payback! It was such a great final, and really close. Dwayne's son Cody was so good, and kept them in it, but we had so many good players in our team, and we played a very good game. We won by a couple of tries, which was awesome, and definitely the best tournament of touch I've played!
C: So much fun hanging out with Daddy and watching touch! We even snuck out to a garden centre and a coffee! What a fun weekend! You girls are great! I'm even starting to learn the rules now!
S: So much fun! Great to watch quality touch! Well done girls, amazing double!
For the BF Christmas Party, Andrea arranged a gig at Quarry Ampitheatre to see Katy Steele - it was amazing! The first two bands were okay (the second very average), but Katy Steele was amazing! The best BF Christmas Party ever!
