Heart thrilling netball game!
The crowd was roaring the score was a point difference; New Zealand was up by a point. All of the Australian players were sweaty and puffed out. They had a bit of energy to fight back. Australia had the centre pass ready to get another goal. We were cheering hard all the way for Australia. Even Mum was. I was sitting on the edge of my seat wondering who would win. We got a goal, it was a draw!! My heart was pumping. New Zealand passed. They set up a play and scored a goal. That goal made the whole game different. I wasn’t happy at all. I slumped back into my seat and thought maybe next time I should wear my wig and face paint also cheerer louder and it might encourage them more next time.
