League

League 

Yesterday afternoon a group of us got the opportunity to verse St Thomas in a game of league in period 5 at our school on the field.  There was 13 of us students that got to have the option to join in or not, most of us said yes we would love to but some said no so we had to find some other players to have enough on the field. 

The game started at 2 o'clock at period 5, we didn't really have the chance to train or anything as of us all racing around trying to find people to play, so the advantage as St Thomas was already out on the field training.  Also they had 17 players so the had reserves but we didn't have any reserves as there only 13 on the field, so we ended up playing a full game.  

We started the first half unfortunately St Thomas getting a try already within at least the first 10 minutes, it basically was try after try then finally we ended up getting a try and that was the first half over. It was 4 try's to St Thomas and 1 to us Hornby.  We had a team talk and everything  and then went back onto the field in the second half which turned out we had 5 try's within at least the 15 minutes into the second half.  Then we was winning just by 1 point but unfortunately St Thomas came back and took the win 58-28 to them.  

Most of us was  disappointed with the result, but we gotta remember it was the first ever time we have done this at Hornby High and also we didn't have any time to train. 

I really enjoyed playing league and versing another school not just our own school, I think it was a great to know how everyone how plays and where each person strong points are out on the field and just working as a team.
