We arrived at the rugby fields and went into the changing rooms, slipped on our jersey’s and put on our boots. We jogged out onto the fields to started warming up. Our trainer called us over to do some stretches. Everyone looked over to see what the players from the opposition looked like. They were HUGE! I started thinking about it and realized, size doesn’t matter this is the semi final. No time to be scared.
The referee blew his whistle and got our game under way. We're kicking off to them. Our halfback booted the ball deep into their twenty two, and I saw this big guy that looked 18, run straight at me like a storming bulldozer. I dived at his legs and he was down. Eventually guess who scored?.... it was Jonty again from our recent game. Our team had a good start with a try and we were looking to make the score bigger.
After a rough first half, we moved on to the second. while we started the second half “Run harder, tackle better. That's what's gonna win us the game” my coach said. We done that and we managed to get a few more . And in the end we won 40-4.
GRAND FINALS HERE WE COME!!!!!!! GO THE WARRIORS!!!!

Chehoooo!!! Awesome Starford! Congratulations to you and the boys! That is a huge achievement to make the Grand Final in your first year of championship grade football. The last Mt Wellington Warriors team to play a Grand Final was the U15s back in 2007. Guess who was the fullback in that team? Carlos Tuimavave - who is now playing fullback for the NRL Warriors! Thats awesome aye? Listen to coach Tony and train hard and you could be playing for the 'other' Warriors team 5 years from now. Heres a link to highlights from that 2007 victory.
