Catch up game

This was a catch up game because there has been a lot of cancellations. My team was playing Ac Milan there team is coming 4th. We needed to win this to share 1st place with Valencia. My team started well we got 3 goals before half time and I scored 2 of them. Our coach and team were happy as we were playing good. Then the 2nd half started about 2 minutes later it was a corner I took it and it hit the bar on the far post but it wasn't a goal. Then we scored another goal to make the score 4-0 that was the final score as well. It was the last game of the season as well. We are going to have prize giving and party in 2 weeks.

Saturday games

Today I played my Napoli game. We played athletico they are coming 3rd. I thought it was going to be a hard game.Then it started... we were playing good and so were they. The half time score was 0-0 we needed to score a goal or alse we didn't have a chance of wining the 10/11th grade internal competition. Then after half time I scored a goal! it was in the bottom corner. After that we got a corner I normally take them but I let Nathan this time.And he passed to me then I took a shot and it went in the top right corner. So we won 2-0 . Then I went to watch other games ad just when we were about to leave the under 15s coach asked me if I wanted to play a bit of their game at three kings reserve. So we rushed to three kings reserve. And watched the game. When there was only 5 minutes to go they put me on. But I didn't touch the ball. Anyway it was cool

Goalkeeping with Nic

Today I went to goalkeeper training with Nic. Strikers were shooting at me and the other goalkeepers I did very good. Then they did crosses ad corners and there were 3 goalkeepers in the goal they only scored 4 goals. After all that was free-kicks and penalty kicks. I wasn't goalkeeper for this. But I did really good shooting and came first out of the girls, and second out of boys and girls

Goalkeeping with Nic

Today I did goalkeeping with Nic. He never cancels it even when the ground is closed! it was raining very hard. I played ok but I was tired and I wasn't moving as quick as I normally do. Because I have a lot of training 4 times a week.

sports exchange

Today my school had a sports exchange. My sport is soccer we were playing Kings school and it was an away game. I am in my schools A team and so we were playing Kings A team on a full field and full size goals I normally play in small fields and small goals. Then we started warming up for the match while watching my schools B team playing Kings B team. About 20 minutes later, my game started Kings were attacking every minute I was so busy in goal ( I was playing goalie like normal). And I did a lot of good saves. At half time the score was 0-0. The second half Kings started well and scored 1 early goal. And Kings were all over us and scored another three goals. Meanwhile the score was 4-0 almost the end of the game. Then I did an awesome save. The final score was 4 -0. But I think I played very well

training

Today i had academy and goalkeeper training with Reaz. academy was cool we worked on passing to feet, we did exercises like long passes keeping position and things like that. Then at the end we played a small game 2 v 2 and one in both teams my team won 5-3 it was the first team to get 5 goals. Then I did goalkeeper training with Reaz. It was about position and keeping in line with the ball. This wasn't expected but I asked to do the late training as well with the premier goalkeepers. It was good and now I am going to the late one every week instead.

It was a big game they where coming 2nd we were coming 1st this was whoever wins the competition.We played better them and had a lot more shots at goal. It was a hard and good game.

Today the Wellington Phoenix played Gold Coast United. It started at 7.30pm, in the 6th minute Paul Ifill scored a goal for the Wellington Phoenix. So the score was 1-0 to the phoenix! Then Shane Smeltz scored a goal for Gold Coast he is a really good player he also plays for the All Whites. It was 1-1. Then phoenix scored a goal just before half time "Go Wellington Phoenix!" The second half was exiting and the Phoenix scored another 2 goals which made the score 3-1. Then the Gold Coast started to attack the Phoenix goal and Mark Paston did a great save. It was a miracle for Gold Coast United they scored 2 more goals and that made the score 3-3. All the Phoenix supporters took their shirts off with 10 minutes remaining (It's a tradition that started last year when the phoenix made the semi-finals) and the final score was 3-3 last year the Phoenix beat Gold Coast 6-0 so they have improved alot.

Cross Country

Today at school I had cross country. It was a 2 kilometer run, at shore road reserve. Since I am a sports co-ordinater I helped the juniors and ran with them. Then the middle and senior school came once the juniors finished their races. Then it was the year 3's turn it was a good race they only had to run 800 meters. Then years 4's at the end of the boys race Ollie Kriechbaum came first, then Nicky Kroon came 2nd. Then the years 5's were racing as the year 6's (My year) got warmed up for our 2 kilometer run. The time went fast, as we were lining up getting started for the race. READY SET GO Miss Wittington (the P.E teacher) said go. We all started I ran well, on the second lap it was very tiring. Next thing I knew was the finish line just a few meters away, I finally finished it and I came 12th.Also my friend Mollie came 1st she is an Auckland runner, and came first in the year 5 Remuera zones. And my other friend Megan came 6th she also made it in the Remuera zones last year and came 14th which is also very good. My Dad was proud that I finished the race and came 12th!
