Other people

In the holidays I trialed for the Canterbury reps league team at Canterbury park.

It was hard making the team but I was chosen to make the team. We had to play on a cold freezing day in the mud and it was early in the morning. I was freezing after the game, so I jumped in the car with a towel around me then watched my sister's trials game. Three nights later my Dad went on facebook and all the people who made the       Canterbury team were on there. My name was on there! I made the Canterbury team! I was so happy because It will be my second year playing for the Canterbury team because I made it last year as well. The bad thing is that my sister did not make it and It was her last year playing so she can not play for the Canterbury team.

I like being a part of the Canterbury team because it is fun playing with all the best players.
