Miniball: Eastern Zones

Rézi: Miniball was really fun and tiring. The first school my team versed was Seatoun A, and the second was Miramar central or St Patricks. We lost to Seatoun 4 - 12 or something close to that. It was still really fun though! We lost the other two as well, but when we played against Kilbernie school wich was kind of close but in the end they won. We had another match against a different Kilbernie team, wich was really close at the start. At one point it was 3 - 4 us losing and we felt a big burst of hope. We gave it our all, and it paid off. We didn’t win that either but it was a really good game. Super fun!

Jasper: It was Thursday 22nd of June, the miniball tournament. We were sweating before the game.
First up: Seatoun : 16-4 (to them) it was a bad loss but we kept going on 4 games later. We kept smiling!
2. 8-4
3.10-4
4.17-7
5.21-6
Then we all slumped down into the car then I remembered something. Today it was Thursday, our miniball practise!

Marlon: “Beep,” the timer started. Game on! The referee chucked the ball in the air. Zen Jumped but the other team already had the ball! We had coloured wristbands and so did the other team. We could only mark the player on the other team with the same wristband as us. I had the colour yellow. One of my friends in the other team was the one that had the yellow band. A person from the team came running up with the ball with a teammate on his trail. “Clank,” the ball flew into the hoop,over and over. “Clank,” we scored. The yellow wristband dude came running up. I jumped to try and stop the ball, but It went flying over my head. “5,4,3!” Monty chucked the ball but it missed short! “2,1!” The game was over.

Marigold: What makes good sportsmanship? Good sportsmanship is when you work as a team, pass to everyone and show kindness to your team and the other team too. If the other team wins don't be a sore loser, say good job to the other team and says thank you to the couch and ref . it is to be inclusive.

Monty: What makes good sportsmanship is showing leadership, saying good game at the end of the game, and being a role model.
