Netball

On Saturday me and my friends plyed Netball in the hard rain.My friends were playing in the rain before the game stated.I asked my mum if I can go out to them and play.She said ''No because you will get sick''. We won both games.On Sunday we played in the rain my hands were cold when we were playing.So my coach got us a hot drink it was nice. When we were playing Mamaku the ball was gritty and sore on my hands. I said to my friend that was by me when we were all playing our game. I said "are you cold", "she said Frozen" I said "I want another hot drink" She said Yep! I saw Anna there and she said "hi". On the last game the team was to cold to play so they defaulted, We went "Yeah"!. There was a new trophy this girl won it. But I was ok with it because she deserved it..
