Task Description: This week task was to write a recount on a special event. I decided to write the time I went down to whakatane for my rugby comp. Hope you enjoy reading my hardworking recount.
Competition Whakatane
During the last week of term three my family and I went to Whakatane for my ARL (Auckland Rugby League) Competition.
The three hour drive was so long and boring I fell asleep snoring until we got to our destination. I was so excited it felt like a famous VIP sprinting into a new flashy marae. I acknowledge the men and women that were in the picture frames, even though it was not my marae I still respected the people proudly with mana. Food was provided for everyone for breakfast, lunch and dinner we had lasagna, BBQ, Pizza and Chips!
On the first day of the competition I was pumped full of adrenaline, I could say the same thing for my teammate/friends. Knowing that we were versus one of the best teams right now in the MNZL (Maori New Zealand League) my teammates lost hope. Our first being nervous and being afraid to lose we still tried our best and lost by a little bit. The next games were intense thinking if we were going to lose but we tried with great power and will to stride forward.
Hi Spencer.
I really like your recount that you did it was amazing and fun to read. I really like the end when you said with great power and will to stride forward that sounds like an inspirational sentence for people you feel like giving up.
Bye for now have a good day. 🙂
Hi Spencer, I loved reading this recount – it sounds as though you had an amazing time – apart from the boring car ride of course! It sounds to me as if you have the right spirit to be a sports man – I love the way you express it – stride forward! Mahi pai!
