It was a windy Wednesday afternoon, I was at the touch ground in nawton, were I was getting ready to play my game of touch. I had the butterflies in my stomach and they were fluttering around so much because I was so nervous. ‘I want to score a try’ I said to myself over and over again.
The whistle blew. It felt like I was superwoman. I was running against the rushing wind in front of me. The ball got passed to me for the first time. I ran as fast as I could. I stepped side to side against my enemy and got into huge gap. Everybody was cheering me on.
Sadly I got touched by my evil opponent, but sooner then later the ball got passed to me from out wide.
The ball spinned in the air, and got closer and closer. It came down to the last 3 seconds. I counted ‘1 2 3 it’s time’. I put my hands out wide. It felt like everybody stopped moving and stared at me.
‘I caught it’ I said to myself ‘I really caught it, I can’t believe I caught it’. I ran and didn’t even look where I was going after that, but then I caught a glimpse out of my right eye and saw that their was still one more enemy I had to defeat. I thought to myself ‘I have to run’.
It came down to the speed. My enemy wasn’t really close to me but I had this strange feeling that she was the fastest on the field. I ran and and ran. I was only about ten more little steps until I was at the try line. Slowly the steps went down 9 5 3 I dived on the try line. I scored a try!!!!Yay. I knew I could do it.
It was a really fun night and I am so excited for next wednesday when I get to do it all over again.
