On Tuesday the 17th of October, we had a very big tournament, it was the Auckland championship for Intermediate's in New Zealand. We we're eligible to compete because we had won our Central Zone League Tournament, We had four round robin games, First, we played De La Salle, I think that the competition was too tight, we ended drawing with them 2-2, Then we played Wiri North and it was a tight first half at that time the score was 3-2 and we we're leading, but an inspirational talk by our Coach, Mr Ball, our boys we're ready to take the game, and we did making the score line 7-2, Mr Ball seemed to be pleased after our win. Our next game was against a school that I could not remember the name of, but the boys we're ready and willing to go, we won 12-1, We had one more round robin game and then it would advance straight into the finals, we we're coming second in the for and against points table, we we're 1 Point behind De La Salle who had just finished losing to Henderson, we had a chance to take the lead, ending the game with another draw, Mr Ball went to the admissions tent to see who had made the final and he had Said that we finished 1st in the for and against points table, which put us through to the final against De La Salle, A fiery first half, there were some spine tingling tackle made, Some from us and they returned them just as hard, both teams rolled in a try leading into the 2nd half, luckily Mr Ball was one of the coaches that would pick you up when you are in a tight match, It must have been the Magic Water!! We won the Final 4-1, after the game, we huddled up and gave our three cheers to them, to the ref and to us, then we shook the hands of the opposition we all huddled up including De La Salle and did one big Prayer to give thanks to the Lord. One last team photo and one last chant for the camera's and it was time to head back to school. We we're all Limping when we got back to school, spreading the great news of our victory, and that is how we became Auckland Champions!!
