SNIPS Rangiteki 2019

SNIPS Rangitikei 2019 Tournament

On the first week of the holidays there was a Snips (southern-north island primary schools) tournament in Rangitikei. When we arrived there was a welcome from the people that were hosting it. Then they went over the rules. One of them was the coaches weren't aloud in the sub box.

Then there was a lunch there with sandwiches and cookies with a drink bottle. After that there was a weight limit you had to be under which was 55kgs. Luckily the whole team made it. Then there was the team photos. The photographer made us do all these funny poses and faces. After, we went to a place called Snowy Waters. We arrived there and there was a lady that told us the health and safety stuff, then we got split into cabins. I was with Tapata, Adam and Manawanui. Our cabin was called Bridge To Nowhere. 

15 minutes later we had to leave to get ready for our game. We versed Hutt Valley first and I was benched the first half. The first half was pretty good, Teina scored the first try of the game, then Hutt Valley just kept on scoring. The half time score was 35-7. Then I jumped on at half time and Hutt valley just kept on scoring so then the final score was 53-7. When we got back we had a big de breif about the game and how we could improve to be better. Then next day the we had to wake up at 7:00 because thats when breakfast was. After breakfast we came up with a game plan that would hopefully work. The coaches (lez and pete) went over 2 times so we would know it pretty well. On Tuesday we were gonna vs wellington and that was called "our Redemption day" from what happened on Monday. Then we made our way to taihape to play them. When we arrived they told us the starting line up, and i found out I was on The Bench again. The first half went great, For us It was try after try. the half time score was 33-0. In the second half it kinda didn't come as well as the first half and carlos, and Manawanui started getting to cocky and then they started catching up. But we still won the final score was 53-7. Then we went to macs and got each a frozen coke then we went to the war museum. After we went back to the camp site and had dinner than played 2 games of scatogories when there is a letter and then you have to write down a Boys/Girls name food fruit vegetable and more. Then there was dessert then went to bed. The next morning like always we had breakfast and did the plan. On the day we were vs Rangitikei and we won 31-12. Then we went to the Taupo pools and went to Huka Falls. Then we had Pizza and chips for dinner. When we got back we had dessert than went to bed. The next morning we had to pack because it was our final day. so then we went to the game in taihape and Hutt Valley Bet wellington 104-0.
