101 Misses

At Thursday sports the OLA Year 5 and 6 Football team played a fantastic game. In the first half our strikers were Rebekah and Luke, and quickly they put the OLA team ahead. Luke had some quick touches to pass defenders and his step, left many behind him. At half time the OLA team was leading 6-0.
In the second half, the OLA team had a changee of tactics to make the game fun and fair. The strikers became defenders and our defenders became our new attackers, even the goalie became a striker. This is where the story begins. Hunter scored two brilliant goals, elegant touches. If there was a crowd they would have gone crazy chanting his name. But it was only me and I didn't do that.
Hunter was lighting quick, running in, out and through people. On one occassion he passed 8 people. I could see Hunter's eyes glisten when he saw the goal and he knew 'I only have the goalie to beat'. Then he slid on the ground booting the ball miles away from the goal. Hunter put his face in his hands and then looked to the sideline to see his coach wondering what happened. Hunter shrugged his shoulders and laughed as he ran back in to position. What followed was another 100 misses. The goalie for the other team was good. She was defending the goal stopping Hunter left, right and centre. It was an incredible game with OLA victorious 9-0.
Well done OLA Yr 5-6 Football team.
