My first try

By William Lister, Age 7

On Saturday I played footy with my team the Stanthorpe Gremlins against the Millmerran-Inglewood-Texas Jets.

We were in the under 7s and under 8s. I scored my first try twice because I got to do two tries.

One of my friends in my team was about to get tackled so he passed the ball to me and I got to run up and put the ball down in the try area. I almost got tackled too but I just got there in time.

That was good because I just got better from my broken arm.

The second try I got was because the other team was defending the try line but I did a fake pass on the left and went on the right so that I got to score.

But Cora who is a girl on my team got three tries because she runs so fast and she usually gets lots of tries in every game that the team plays.

I think we won our game for Stanthorpe but the Jets from MIT think that they won because they are very good and I think they had good skills. But that was not enough to beat us with me and Cora on the Gremlins team.

I played two games on the day and I got this photo with my dad.
