Ki O Rahi

W.A.L.T structure a recount
We recently had a tournament for Ki o Rahi and when
we got back to school we had to write a recount about
Ki O Rahi.

On a muggy Friday morning, as we set up the Tautoro
gazebo I gazed at the the Ki o Rahi fields and said to
myself “ I can’t wait to play.” Finally all the schools showed up.
Minutes later we went to the main gazebo to find out what field
we were playing on. On our first game we versed Omania.
We won and the score was 36 - 6 to us. I was so nervous
because that was our first game.

The next team we versed was the Christian School.
The score was 56 - 14 to us.But we were doing quick
points and one of the Christian school’s teachers must
have got jealous that we were winning so she went and
told Whaea Leila. When she returned Whaea Leila
confirmed that we were no longer aloud to do quick points.
Anyways by the time we versed the christian school we were
all warmed up and ready to win, But most of all to have Fun.

After a few more games of Ki O Rahi we had a break.
So we all walked to the gazebo to have a snack.
About five minutes later we went back to the field to have
another game against Te Kura Kaupapa O Kaikohe.
When the Mc Blew the horn we started. Everyone was
guarded by one of the students from the Kura.
The kura Didn’t take their eyes off our team and our
team was letting it get to them. So when it was half
time matt taught us a strategy, The strategy was to
just let them stand by you and when the ball went to my
middle you ran away because if you were running while the
ball was out of the middle you would have gotten tired.
What do you know, the strategy worked and they slowly
began to leave us alone.But in the end we lost, but we all
still had fun, They won by four points.
The score was 29 - 25.

The Next game we played we versed the Intermediate school.
They were totally cheating by defending.
They were smacking our hands away when they were
scoring tries.But we still smoked them in the end.

In Conclusion I think we all had fun and we were
all competitive which was our main goal.
I can’t wait for our next tournament.
I was so proud of our team even though
we didn’t compete in the finals.
I was also proud of our team because we all
participated and we weren’t looking like a bunch
of stun mullets.
