On Wednesday, our basketball team played against Point England at Recreation centre at Tamaki college.  St Patrick’s were wearing green. Point England were wearing red. First we had some warm ups. Our first warm up  that we had to run up and down the court because we didn't have a basketball.

When Shawn arrived, he gave out the basketballs for us to use. We had a quick practise game before our competition game started. 

When it was time for us to go to the court, we went straight to Michael so he could chose the players that were going to be on the court  to start us off.

when all our five players were on court, the game started. Half way through each game, we would have subs and then the game would start again. At the end of the game  we were all tired, puffy and sweaty. The final score was 22 to us 34 to Point England.

Sadly, we lost the game, How ever I did manage to have some fun. Next time, I will try to pass the ball out more and take more shots.
