West Taieri Under 8's

Lexy’s last game of rugby

On Saturday 10th May, West Taieri U8’s went to Brighton for our first game of tackle rugby. It was awesome. It was also Lexy S’ last game as she is off to play Netball. The coach said “come on lets get on the field and start the game!” So off we went onto the field. West Taieri was starting first with the ball. The coach blew his whistle and we were off. We were on fire smashing through people trying to get tries. Our first try was scored by Logan T from Middlemarch. We were trying to hang on but they were so good and they got a try. Suddenly like we weren’t expecting it the whistle blew for half time. “Back to the field” called the coach. Brighton started with the ball first. Off they went blasting past us then a big guy banged Harry down and scored a try OUCH! Then there was a big ruck. Benjamin saw the ball poking out and he pulled it out and scored a try. Logan G scored another try but it wasn’t enough and the end score was Brighton 4 tries, West Taieri 3 tries. Benjamin was player of the day and Harry tackler of the day. Lexy gave each of us a bag of lollies at the end. We will miss her.
