Monday 29 February – Grand final time!



Current location: Eveleigh, Sydney
11.11am, Being nervous. I was sooooo nervous all day, because tonight is our Oztag Grand Final. Considering we only just started playing this season, and half the team had never even heard of the game before, I was pretty stoked we'd even got to the finals.
So, the game begun, and we got off to a slow start. We caught up though, and at half-time it was 5-5. Pretty low-scoring and we hadn't got any girl tries (which are worth double).
At the start of the second half, the other team came out firing, and the score quickly blew out to 10-5, uh-oh. A bit of dodging from me got us two more points, and then we kept going and going until the final whistle blew. It was 11-11.
I won;t go into great detail of what happened next, but it was a drop-off (lose one male and one female from each side) and basically it become first try wins.
They got the first try.
They won. We got sad.
We sat on the field and drank beer with our friends for two hours and talked about how awesome it was that at the beginning of this season some of us didn't even know each other.
Very proud of Newtown Brooklyn!
