Saturday the 24Th May was my very first game of rugby for Tamaki rugby club and I was feeling really nervous. On the way to the field we were told that we were to play Carlton Mt Wellington and that last season they had thrashed our team and that didn't help my nerves.
Pulling up to the field we could see a lot of other teams there as some games had already started but we were okay because we still had a full half hour before we had to go so this gave us a chance to go over some drills and warm up.
10.15 (time) the whistle blows and the game starts we were a bit slow to begin with but then found our feet and kicked into gear. Carlton scored the first try which knocked us back a bit but we kept our game faces on and went on to score two tries of our own. Half time and things were not looking to good for us so as we ate our oranges our coach Antz spoke to us about moving up and marking our player and told us we were playing a good game and as a team which he said was the main thing remember we started to feel a bit better.
11.15 final whistle blows the game is over and even though we didn't win we drew even which is awesome considering this is our first game as a brand new team so overall we were happy. On our way home we stopped and brought a cake for my sister because it was her birthday and then headed to the park for a picnic.
