After School Basketball

Yesterday after school was our weekly after school basketball competition. This competition is between the schools in the Manaiakalani cluster. We all met at the Tamaki Recreation Centre next to Tamaki College. PBS(Panmure Bridge School) have two teams, year 5 and 6, and year 7 and 8. This was an amazing experience getting to go once again.  As we arrived at the Recreation Centre, a bit of Nervous ran down our spines looking at all the schools there to participate. The first team's (Year 5 and 6) game had started and they were on the court getting ready. It was a awesome game with lots of teamwork which got them heir first point and then many more. St Patricks was bringing their best and score some as well as PBS. In the last few seconds it was ten all, and both teams tied their hardest to break the tie. Then as the final buzzer went both teams had the half victory each and really had fun. This was a really big confidence boost towards the year 7 and 8 team for our game. We were up against one of the Pt England teams. Everyone was pumped and energized. Unluckily Pt England scored that first few points of the game but PBS came in strong with their team work and spirit. We started to score more baskets in got the ball down into the opposing team's half and get the ball through the hoop. We eventually came out with a win of 14 to 6 points! We would like to give a big thanks to Mr Ogilve and Mrs Anderson for taking us down to get to participate and also the Panmure RSA for transport.

Netball Interschool Competition

On Wednesday the 17th, the years 5,6,7 and 8 went down to the AMI Netball stadium to compete in the Tamaki cluster Netball Interschool. There were two teams for both year 5 and 6, and year 7 and 8 named one and two. For team one(which I played in) we played against Pt England 1. We played a tough game but in the end Pt England came out with a win. after about three games, the boys and I started to understand more about the game and knew more about my position. Then we played Stonefields and did really well against them. We happily came out with the victory. Then for our last game we played against our own school!? Actually the P.B.S second team, and I enjoyed playing against my own classmates. P.B.S one, was  the victor of the game winning 5-1. We would like to thank Mr Ogilve and Ms Naiker for taking us down for this opportunity to play in the interschool.
