Onga onga 7s

ONGA ONGA 7S

The ballons before they were released.

Yesterday (which was the 10^th of August) was Onga 7s. We had a cracker of a day running round and kicking the ball although we lost 2 games and won the rest. Year 4s up to year 7s at Oueroa School had a really cool day. It was sunny and hot. My favourite part of the day was when a few of the Onga School kids released some balloons into the air. During the parade we kept spying them getting higher and higher. BOOOOOOOOOM!!!

we're free at last

Everyone jumped; some people knew what it was. My friend told me that it was the cannon that we saw and that an army man himself had fired it. Sherwood roared “booooo!”  as the announcer cried “and we pointed the cannon towards Sherwood!”

we rock!!!

After that we marched around the field and then each team charged to the grounds where they would be playing. All of the junior soccer teams jogged or ran to field number 3.

Talking tactics.

Our school, which is Oueroa, was hardly noticed among the other 18 schools. Our school was really close to going into the finals if only we had won 1 more game but it doesn’t matter because it was all about having fun: that is the rule Oueroa follows. Most of the seniors at our school like soccer, so do our junior kids. In our first game (which was at 10.30) we faced Omakere and lost 0-1                                       and we played again at 10.50 and lost to Waipawa 0-1 then again we played at 11.20 and won 2-0 then again at12.00 we won again 1-0 and again at12.30  we won 3-2. 

A keen team

We had an awesome time and enjoyed the food as well as the sports. At the end all the schools came together for the prize giving and all the schools that didn’t get a cup or prize at least got a well-done pack, as I call them. They are filled with 4 or so posters and loads of milky-bars and a few other odds and ends
