As the Sport Manuwatu organised many events for us, Term 1 Soccer, Term 2 was Cricket, Term 3 was Hockey. Our lessons were taught by Stephan, the coach of the marist first 15. He taught us how to dribble, Push pass and tackle. We played lots of games and ended up with a Oroua school tournament at the hockey turf in palmy! The teams battled out in a mix of schools. The turf was cold and wet, sent quivers down my spine. The ball was flying highhhhhhhhhhh like a bird as two sticks collided.The Artificial turf swayed in the cold breeze.Geared up in a giant teddy bear outfit. He padded up so that he could hit the balls coming towards him. As a cold day cleared up the rain slowly pitter pattered on the roof.
