Cricket!

Last night we didn't get that much cricket in, the umpires called everyone of the field due to dangerous lightning, and then the match was called of a few minutes later because the lightning wasn't going away and it was raining. It was a bit disappointing, but we made a great start to the game and we found out that if the game is washed out, the two teams are declared joint premieres. We thought the team at the top of the ladder would win. So we were all very happy to discover that.

So we go back today and try and have a smaller game, we're not sure if it will rain or not. There is a pretty good chance that it will rain, but we are hoping it won't rain. (The other team is afraid of loosing to us, so that is a good thing for us)

Well, wish us luck and hope the rain won't interrupt our game.

YA!!!!!!!

I'm so excited!!! U/14's won their semi final!!!! Ya!!!

U/ 12's came close to winning but we missed out. So next week, Naomi and I will be playing CB!

I'm so excited, our team is confident that we can win and I think it will be a very close match. I'm to excited to type much. I'm sucking on an ice block at the moment and I think I will shut down my computer and enjoy the evening.

Voyage Of The Dawn Treader!!

It's finally here!!

The Voyage Of The Dawn Treader is being released in cinemas across Australia today!!

I'm so excited. We are going to go and see it next week in 3D!!

(I think its great how for once, Australia gets it before America!!)

I don't mean to gloat.

I'll do a quick post when I've seen it. I don't want to spoil it for anyone.

Is anyone else going to see it?

Cricket!

This week we only had on game of cricket. (Well half a game). We played U/14's, but U/12's had a bye.

We batted and we made a score of 5/145. It's not the best score but it's alright.

I retired not out on 5. I did alright, but I need more confidence.

Naomi and I nearly played 3rd grade. (Men's cricket). But all their players turned up

so we weren't needed.

Through the week, Naomi bought herself some wicket keeping gloves. They are so good.

She will be wicket-keeping in U/12's and U/14's.

That's just about all I think.

I'm Back

Sorry I haven't posted for a while. I have been busy with my cricket.

I'll tell you how I went. The championship went for 2 days. On the first day we won both our games. I bowled and took one wicket in the first game, there was one run out off my bowling and I batted before I got run out. In the second game I didn't get and wicket, but there were two other run-outs off my bowling.

The next we had play offs. In the first game that day, I took one wicket and one catch, that game I was also run-out again. We lost that game so we went to our last game playing for 3rd position and 4th position. I didn't take any wickets that game, but I ran someone out. I opened the batting with another girl, on the first ball I faced, (for those of you who know your cricket) I played a forward defence. The ball went straight on to the ground after it hit the bat, but it must of bounced funny because it went straight back into the air like I had played some other silly shot. Anyway they caught it and the umpire gave me out.

So we lost that game and we finished 4th out of a possible 8 positions.

Hockey Grand Final!!

Today is the hockey GRAND FINAL day!!!

I'm so excited.

But........ during the week we got a phone call from the boss of the club we play for. She said that another grade, Ar3 (which is 2 grades above our normal grade!) were looking for an extra player. So they told us that the B grade coach was going to choose between Naomi and I to decide who will play B grade and who will play Ar3. (Their grand finals are on at the same time). The boss said that the B grade coach would ring us to tell us who is going to go and who is staying. We haven't heard anything and the grand finals are this morning, so we are hopping they picked another player.

Anyway, I'm sure we will have fun either way.

Wish us luck!

Another Update

Ok. Naomi and I lost hockey on the weekend. That is a good thing though. It means that our team has a better chance of winning the semi finals this weekend which therefore gives us a good chance on making it to the grand final. Last weekend we played the best team in the comp. We only lost 2-0, and one of their goals shouldn't have been allowed.

We went to church yesterday. We were there for a little longer then usual because the church computer was playing up and our Dad was fixing it up. Yesterday afternoon we played a little bit of cricket with our neighbour and another friend. When everyone got sick of that we started to play soccer. That was really fun. Then we did some goal shots. Naomi and our neighbour were the best goalies of the day. I was absolutely shocking.

And now I'm on my bed, with Naomi beside my still waking up and my little sister trying to get us to help her find her 'Dory Book' as she calls it, but it's really called Finding Nemo. This afternoon Naomi and I have hockey training, we are expecting it to be really full on with the semi finals approaching.

Hockey!

I just wanted to update you on our hockey.

We are doing really well. We are second on the ladder out of 4 teams. This week we are versing the best team in the comp. (They have been for many years). This weeks game is our last game before the semi finals. If we win this weeks game or draw with the other team we will need to play them in the semi's. If we loose we will verse the team at the bottom of the ladder.

We are most likely going to loose this week, but we most certainly won't be disappointed if we do.

I'll keep you updated as the weeks go on.

Cricket!

On Sunday this week Naomi and I have another cricket trial!

We have been practising a lot lately. I think we will do alright.

We are hoping to get into the team.

This year I'm playing U/14's in cricket. I think I will do alright. I won't be a star

player but I will do well.

This is only a very short post.

Anyway. Wish us luck for Sunday.

(I'll post Sunday night and tell you how we go)

Another Update

I hope you guys aren't getting sick of these updates.

Over the last week we have been playing a lot of darts!! I'm getting better and better each day.

I played hockey today. My team won 1-0!!! We are really happy about that. Naomi and I only have 2 weeks of hockey left this season. This season I've been looking around for a stick that I could buy next season. I think I've found the one I want.

It's called the Mazon Fusion 1000. You can buy it in black or white. I would probably get it in black.

The cricket season starts soon too. We are not sure what age group we are going to play in though. My big brother who plays in U/16's says that Naomi and I have the size and strength fit for U/12's but he says we have the skill for U/14's. At this rate we will be playing U/14's but we are going to ask our coach from last year and see what he thinks. Here is a picture of the cricket bat I want to get.

It is called the Kookaburra Blade!! I really want to get it for this season because the bat we've got now isn't the best bat to be using in U/14's. Naomi and I have a cricket trial next week. We are a little bit nervous but we will do well.

My big brother has just got back from flying one of his remote controlled planes. By this sounds of things the prop snapped.

This has turned out to be more of a sport update hasn't it??

What's Been Happening

Here is an update on what I've been up to lately.

I've been doing my usual amount of school work. Lately in my maths I've been working on geometry. I haven't been enjoying it a whole lot but it's OK. I've lately started a high school English book because I'm not that good when it comes to punctuation and spelling. I haven't been doing a lot for history lately but I think I will need to do more next week. I had a big science test on Friday. I got 27 out of 30 questions right which I was rather pleased about.

My hockey is going well. I didn't go to training on Monday because I was sick but I was all better and right to play today. My team was versing the best team in the comp and we lost 4-1, usually they bet us by about eight points or so, so our team was rather pleased with the outcome of that game. I scored on half time so the goal didn't count, I was a bit disappointed about that but it can't be helped.

Today I went up to my Grandparents house with my dad, my little brother Tully, my little sister and Naomi to bring our big brother home. He had been staying with our Grandfather while our Granny had a little holiday.

During the week my brother Tully bought a dart board. It is really awesome. It took me a little while to get the hang of it again but by the end of the day I had mastered it, but I still have the odd time where I throw the dart and it misses the board completely. (LOL)

Naomi and Tully also made a little cubbie sort of thing. It is really quite cool. It has been constructed in just the right position so it works really well.

Naomi, Tully and I have also been playing a lot of touch and tackle footy with our neighbour and another friend. We had a game of tackle footy and it was me and Naomi vs Tully and his mate. Naomi and I beat them 5-1. They got sick of the game and stopped playing. Then the next day we played another game of tackle footy and it was Naomi, Tully and I vs our neighbour and our friend. (Their always saying how good they are at footy and things like that, so we put them to the test). My team won 8-4. So that was really fun!!!

That's an update on what has been happening in my life this week.

Another Trial!

Some of you may remember a post I did about a cricket trail that Naomi and I were going to, it was for a U/14's girls rep team. Well nothing became of that.

On Thursday our Dad got an email for a guy who was at the trail we went to. He and another lady are looking for girls to come to another trial. It turns out that this team is a U/15's girls rep team that will be competing in the Country Championship. The guy who sent us the email says's that Naomi and I should make it to the easily.

Naomi and I are very excited. We are excited at the fact that the guy thinks we should make it in easily. But we're not in the team yet and we will have to see how we go.

The trial is in two weeks so we have a bit of time to get back into cricket.

I'll let you know how we go.

New Background?!?!?

Hi All!

You probably noticed that I've changed my background.

The thing is that I can't decide between this one or my old background.

So I've set up a poll so you can vote and the one with the most votes in the end I will put on my blog. Seem fair??

Thanks

Warning!!!

Just letting you know that on Friday my blog background is going to disappear.

I don't know if I will need to change my blog background or if I will be able to get it back. I hope I don't have to change because I really like it the way it is and the photo too.

Just thought I would let you know so that you don't think it's not loading on your computer or something like that.
