My first loss against Ponsonby Whites!

On Saturday morning , we went to the Ponsonby home ground to play against Ponsonby Whites. We had our warm up for the game as soon we got there, we had to spit the back and the forwards. The forwards had to do some  blow over. The game was starting, Ponsonby Whites had to kick off and we got the ball and started running to get a try. Then  Ponsonby ripped the ball off us and they were getting near the try line.

Next minute, they got a try.  We had to get some try for our team. When Xavier got the ball we told him to pass it to us but he did not. It made us lose the ball. Then it was almost halftime and Sione defended some of the Ponsonby Whites and got a try. They kicked the ball out and we had to do a lineout. I threw the ball in and the halfback kicked the ball to the other end of the field. We tried to chase it but the other team got the ball and passed it along the line to work as a group. They got a try. It was halftime and the score was 1 - 10.

After the half -time,  our coach told us to work as a team because we needed  to win the game. The second half began. The Ponsonby team started kicking the ball and it came to us. My team mate passed the ball to me then a Ponsonby player tackled me and the forwards blew over the Ponsonby Team.  Suddenly, they ripped the ball off my team and they made a knock on. We had a scrum and we had to push the ball back to the halfback and the halfback will pass it. The game was over. The score was 1-10.  Our coach was so mad that we lost against the team that we beat before. He commanded us to do ten push ups as a punishment .

It was a very sad day for our team that we lost.

We are learning how to write a recount.

I know this when I write events in order about my holiday.
