Ricoh Hockey Tournament By Sam

On Friday the 9th of September the Ricoh hockey team went down to the Hockey Manawatu turfs for the Ricoh hockey tournament.When we got there we walked in and the organiser from CSNS invited us upstairs where all the other teams were.The organiser started telling everyone when all the games were and how it was going to work.
Our game was after the first one so we had time to practice.The team went down on to the aqua turf and we started taking hits at goal.Then we started practicing our left to right until our next game started. It was now time to play our first game and we were playing against Russell Street and we won. Then we played CSNS and lost 4:0.We then went back upstairs to have some lunch and our next game we were playing was Riverdale and they got so much goals we couldn't even keep count of the final score.We were now playing for 3rd place and we were playing against Central Normal School.The coach started yelling out to his players to put there stick down,get back and heaps of other stuff.After the exuasting game that we won we went down to the B&M Centre.Once everyone got up there and was sitting down in there lines we got started.They started with hockey and Riverdale came 1st, CSNS came 2nd and Hokowhitu came 3rd.Then suddenly out of nowhere they called my name out for most valuable player so I came up shook hands with a 4 time Olympian and got my prize a drink-bottle.After all the sports had been said it was time to announce the overall school winner and it was CSNS.We then went back to school to go home.By Sam H.
