Summer Recount

Back in May Robert, my best friend, and I were in the pitch playing shots. We were playing shots because it was scorching out. When Robert and I were going the pitch there was already lots of people there. We hoped over the board and put our boots on .First I walked a bit with the ball and shot and shot it in the goal. I hit the crossbar and it rolled back out and Robert struck it and it flew in the top corner and I applauded him . After that we played heads & volleys with Ross Fay and Brian Mccarthy . The game only lasted five minutes. Next Scott Muka Lawless and Justin Anene came and we all had a game of crossins. On the day I really really enjoyed it and I picked up some new tricks on the evening . I would love another one of those days.

6th Class are Shooting Hoops in Trinity!

On November the 13th sixth class went to learn basketball in Trinity College. The weather was atrocious so we had to get Sammi Murphy's bus. Trinity College is running a programme called TAP and we have an hour to play basketball once a week. First we did a drill that Scott and Dylan had to demonstrate. It was just passing it to each other. Then he told us about the 5 lines on the amazing court. 1) end line 2) side line 3) halfway line 4) three point line 5) the foul line. After that we had a match and we were getting beaten but only for Scott, he got the equalizing point to make it a draw at 1 -1 and our team mate Cian got a smack of the ball in the face. I think basketball was class and it was my first time playing it and I am actually good at it. If I got a scholarship I would take it. I can't to go next week.
