Girls' Football Team, Oct 23.

Last Friday, all the girls in 5th and 6th went to the football blitz in Caherelly. It  was a great day even if we got beaten.

At 10:45 Mrs Hickey came in to tell us to get ready. We went to the juniors classroom to eat our lunch and get our jerseys. I was one of the last to get a jersey. I was number 5. We all plopped ourselves down on the carpeted floor and ate our lunches. After five minutes we had to go. I went in the car with my dad and some of the 6th class. The drive took 20 minutes.

I woke up with mixed feelings of worry and excitement because today was our football blitz to see if we could get through to the final. I was on the way to school and I was so excited. Because today was my football blitz. As I made my way into the school grounds to talk about the football blitz. The day started off normally with all the work that we'd be doing on a normal day but at quarter to 11 we'd be getting ready to go to the match.

The journey didn't feel very long so soon enough, we climbed out of the cars. The pitch wasn’t that big but there were still two small pitches set up on each half.It was cold so we all put on our coats and jumpers. A few minutes later it had warmed up. Everyone that had brought gloves had put them on. We did a bit of a warm up, our first match was drawing nearer.

Then it was time for the match!.We were playing Ahane. My heart was thumping 200mph. Miss Hickey put us in our positions. Eabha was the goalie. Mia ,Grace and Kate were in the backs. Now we move on to mids and they were Ella and Aoife Mul. Forwards were Kayleigh, Emma and Harriet. Daire and I were subs. Emily 5th

When it was time for the first match to start it was against Ahane. I  went to the coin toss to see where we were playing. Unfortunately I lost so they got to pick where they played. We then got into our positions and the match began.As the whistle blew Ella got the ball and got a goal first thing! At half time the scores were looking pretty good for us. We had two goals, 2 points to 1 point. But when the second half began Ahane began to score a good few goals. Unfortunately in the end Ahane won.
