Henare was a very large boy for nine years old so he was
|
|
|
allowed
|
 to play for his school's best rugby team. Last |
|
|
|
Saturday he was very excitted because his team was playing
|
|
|
|
in the final of the competition. He quickly ate his favourite
|
|
|
|
breakfast of toast and peanut butter and ran off to join his
|
|
|
|
freinds at the sports ground. Everyone was there when he
|
|
|
|
arrived. Evrybody wanted to see which team would win. The
|
|
|
|
players ran out onto the feild and the game started. Both
|
|
|
|
teams seemed evenly matched and no tries were scored in the
|
|
|
|
first half. After half time the centre through the ball to Henare.
|
|
|
|
The next second he was off running straihgt down the middle
|
|
|
|
of the pitch. The try line was in sight when he felt himself
|
|
|
|
grabed from behind. He was caught! What should he do?
|
|
|
|
He pulled, and tugged, and broke free. He hoped around
|
|
|
|
another tackler and charged forward as if fired from a canon
|
|
|
|
and dived for the line. He slid across the wet grass and finally
|
|
|
|
stopped under the posts. A loud cheer went up. Henare looked
|
|
|
|
up and there was his Dad with the vidio camera.
|
|
|
|
"Your a champion, son. That was an awesome try!"
