Rippa Rugby by Olivia B.

On Tuesday the 17th a group of year 5 and 6 went to Morrison Park out in Washdyke. In our team we had 10 players.We got a draw in our first game,we won our second game,got another draw in our third game,we won our forth game and won our fith game.

After that we had to go and sit down to listen to the people that were running it, then they were calling out all the schools that were going throw to the semi finals and they called out Bluestone. I had a bubble feeling inside me.

We were playing against St Andrews. We won that game so we had to play against Pleasant Point. We lost aganst them but came 2nd.

Now we go and play against Otago and South Canterbury and if we win that, we go up to Auckland for the Rippa World Cup.
