Playing tennis with Shane

On Saturday we played tennis against Midhurst.
On my team we had Shane as 1
Me as 2
Megan as 3
And Sean as 4
I played my doubles with Shane and that was a nightmare. Once when I was waiting for Shane to serve while I was standing up at the net, he served and it hit me really hard on my back.
The most annoying thing was that Callum was watching and he couldn’t stop laughing.
At least we won our doubles though, 7-2.
The next game I played was my singles match. I won that easy, 7-2 again.
Our team won all our games and they didn’t even get 5 games.
After tennis me, mum, dad and Shane went to town to have lunch at the bakery.
` We finished our lunch and went to nana and Poppa’s for afternoon tea, then we went home to the other nightmare.

Key= other nightmare means Scott

Why we shouldn't play sport and exercise

To me that statement is just a joke because is this really happened to us we would turn into big hippos in a matter of time and wouldn’t be able to get our daily exercise.
I don’t approve of this statement because to the people who love sports would get bored very quickly from sitting around all day and they wouldn’t be as fit as they used to be.
To the people who hate playing sport and don’t get their daily exercise, they wouldn’t be able to lose the weight that they all ready had put on, when they weren’t exercise.
As well as the people who hate sport and love sport, how about the sport unions. They wouldn’t get money for doing their job. All they wouldn’t even really have to turn up at work because nobody would be playing sport and if that happened to me I would just QUIT!!!
Then we come along to the pro-sport players. Their body’s wouldn’t be used to sitting around all day, watching TV and eating junk food and for instance they would be really, really BORED!!!
So that why we should be able to play sport in the weekends and have your daily exercise and if that statement was true we would eat to much junk and be lazy, but that would prevent deaths from heart attacks and that’s very bad.

Tennis again

Last Friday I made a challenge against Mikayla Fleming on the ladder so I could be in the under 12 rep taranaki tennis team.
Me and Mum had to drove an hour to Mania to play that tennis match.
When we got there I was so nervous. I had some hits with Mum to calm my nerves until Mikayla turned up. She was half an hour late so that meant I had a good warm up.
I had some hits with her and immediately thought I was going to lose because she was just smashing them back at me. But when it got to the real ting every hit she tried to hit hard at me it went out or in the net.
I was just playing it safely and used my patience to wait for the right moment to smash it past her.
In the end I kept that up and won in straight sets 7 – 2, 7- 1.
And after that fight, I was really tied and Mum was really proud of me.
I rang dad and he was really proud of me to when I told him the news, then I told the rest of the family. Well nearly the whole family.
