Last week we had a game against Papakura. We lost to them last year. They are a very hard team. Their Halfback was fast and had skills and their prop had lots of power like a strong bull. He could bust through lots of tackles.
The game kicked off. I was Center with Xaiver. Kiore got the ball and he had the first run. He got tackled to the ground. A boy called Pheonix got the ball and passed it to Charm (in Room 17). Charm also got tackled and then when the other team got the ball they nearly got a try, but the ball went dead when they kicked it past the dead ball line.
When our team got the ball back, Charm got the ball, but then he got injured because someone sat on his back from the other team. Charm had to go on the bench, and Duran took his place.
The game was exciting and there were lots of supporters down at Dunkirk. When there was only 20 minutes left, a big boy on the other team ran fast to get a try, but a boy on our team called Reid did a huge tackle on him and he didn't get the try.
At the end of the game, the other team had won, but we had a good game anyway.
