The Game
Today is a big day, it’s also cold, I can feel the crisp air, It’s seeping through my bones, I feel the elephants shuffling around in my tummy, I’m oblivious to every noise, Adrenalin has replaced the blood in my body, All I hear is my heart beating, I’m about to race, It’s the snowboarding finals, I’m in Vancouver- for the games, The slope is treacherous, But so am I! The siren goes, I go without hesitation, Speeding off at an amazing speed, I take a sharp turn, One wrong move and I’ve lost, I’m tense, I’m full of fear and excitement, Here comes the mother of all jumps, I’m up and over, I’ve landed it, The results come through… I’ve drawn for first place, I love living life on the edge, But more, I love snowboarding! Nicholas Kidd DPHS vs Rondebosch: They ran on the field with great pride. The referee blew his whistle, The game was on. We scored the first try in a matter of minutes. Every time we scored, The boys watching the game, Would stomp their feet on the stand. It sounded like a train bashing its way through. Every time Rondebosch scored Selborne would chant, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes, Yes! With six minutes to go to the end of the game, We needed one more try to win, It was 21-24 to them. Then Kade made a break through, He dived over the line and scored. The crowd went crazy. That was the end of the game, 26-24 to us! Asher Knox-Davies
