This morning the 12 eldest children were selected for ruby trials and went over to the park to practice for ripper rugby. The children sat on the whaariki and waited for instructions. They were put into two teams red and blue and given their tails. With a little help long shirts and tails were tucked into the back of their pants and we were ready to start. We only had one goal today so started at the other end of the field where Tawhiri kicked us off with an almighty boot, then the race was on to grab the ball. Teawa scooped it up and raced as fast as she could to the goal with everyone chasing her trying to pull off her tail. TeAwa made it and scored the first try for the blue team.
Next time we go over we may only take 8 children as four decided they didn’t want to have a go. This will also mean a little more one on one interaction and hopefully a longer practice. We are also going to set up two goals next time and see if we can be tricky and really divide the teams up.
It was a good first practice of ripper rugby. It would be even better with some whanau help…. Does anyone out there want to come and help us teach the children how to play?
On the 9th October we will be having a ripper rugby match against Flaxmere Ave. We hope to hold onto last year’s Potty Trophy. I hope you can come and join us in the fun and excitement.
Go Walton Waaaaay Go ** Go Walton Waaaay Go ** Go Walton Waaaaay Go ** Go Walton Waaaay Go **…..
