Volleyball recount

On the 11th of August 2016 I sat on the bus, we were on our way to a volleyball tournament! I said to Samantha “As you get to our year the bus rides with your class get louder”. She could barely hear me over all the shouting. Finally we arrived at Walton Ash centre we sat down outside the library that is in there, then we got sorted into our teams. We had a team leader in each team I was the leader of my team, in my team was me, Joe, Isaiah, Riley, Jane and Samantha. Then in our teams we walked into the place where we were going to play volleyball . Then some people told us the rules, the game is pretty straightforward you have a ball and you throw it over the net and every time it goes over the net you rotate clockwise. After the instructions we got ready to play our first game.

When we started playing we were really nervous but it was really fun so we soon got over it. We won our first game 5-0. After that we had a 15 minute break. Then we had five more games, we won three games and drew two. Then we had a 30 minute break for lunch, after that we had two games in a row the first one was hard but we won 4-3. Our last team we played were very good and we lost 6-7. After that we went back to the stands to hear the results of the pools. My team came 2nd in pool B. We were very happy, It was a lovely day.
