Hockey Match

Saterday 28 February

Wichert:

Our first weekend day was a busy one. We got up at 8:55 to have some breakfast. After having breakfast we were started to upload some movies on our blog and to edit the blog a bit more. When it was 12:00 o'clock we realised that we had to prepare our selves for the hockey match in the afternoon. We had to play for the fourth team of Reeds. At 12:35 we had be on the pick up point together with our teammates which is on the parking lot. After all our teammates had arrived. We got into the coach. In the Netherlands they always ask parents to drive the children around, over here they just order 4 busses to drive everyone to their hockey match. Some of our teammates already had their own cars, so they drove to the match location by themselves. Mr. Atkins was our coach. We had to play against Epsom college which (according to my teammates) was an even more expensive school than Reeds. It was a very big school, it looked like an entire village. With typical english school buildings. We had to play our match on grass where Jeroen and I were not really used to. I scored the first goal and Toby ( a guy from our team ) scored the second. The match ended up in a draw. After the match we were al really exhausted. Mr. Atkins asked me after the game if I also wanted to play for the third team. Their match started 10 minutes after our match. The third team luckily enough played on Astro's ( artificial grass ). Sadly enough we lost the match with 3-6. But according to Mr. Balls ( the coach and leader of the Reeds sports department) we had played a good match.
When we drove home in the bus my legs felt like concrete and I was so tired. During dinner I drank 8 cups of lemonade, because I was so thirsty. After dinner we Jeroen and I decided to watch a movie which is called the Body of Lies, and then we went to bed.
