B.O.D.. Watch your back! :L

Before Christmas, us TY heads spent many weeks of P.E training for a tag rugby tournament. In the beginning we were doing it for fun and as something different from all of the usual things we do in PE class on a regular basis.
When we began the rugby training, we were told that we would have rugby for a total of six weeks. However, that changed quickly enough when we found out that we were being entered into a tournament with some other schools. Our training for tag rugby continued every week for our Wednesday's double PE class right up until the week of the tournament.
The only one negative point about the rugby tournament was that not everybody was able to participate because one team consists of seven players.
Our PE teachers, Mr L and Ms O'C, along with the rugby coaches kept a close eye on all of the people they felt would be best for taking part in the tag rugby tournament. They chose two teams, each having 12 players. This allowed fr five subs on each team.
On Thursday, 20th of January, we piled on the layers of clothes before piling ourselves onto the bus with Mr L who was accompanying us! The tournament was taking place in St Mark's Community School out in Tallaght Co. Dublin.
There were six teams altogether in the tournament, two from our own school, two from Scoil Bride and two from St Mark's. Each team played five matches, meaning every team played against the other five teams. That meant we even had to play against the other team from our own school, which was quite funny!
The two teams from St. Wolstan's were team one and team two. Team one wore red bibs and Team two wore blue bibs. Team one, the team that I was part of, won all five matches that we played. Team two, won, drew and lost some of their matches. At the end of the day we each got a Canterbury t-shirt and boot bag.
Regardless of who won, lost or drew, every single girl had a great day out. The weather was gorgeous for the whole day and there were no complaints from everyone. One thing that would have made the experience a lot better would have been if the rest of the TY girls had been allowed to come and watch.
We have been informed though, that near Easter time, there is another tournament even bigger than the last one. Hopefully more girls will get to participate in this one.

Niamh! :D
