Walter Dickson Trials

I’ve heard about it… I’ve learnt about it… but I haven’t seen it… until now! I’ve been invited to trial with Walter Dickson! It may sound like a joke, but it actually is the best rugby union team in Auckland. So it is a massive deal that I got invited to trial. There are only 80 people who have been chosen out of all of Auckland! It was on sunday.

After school had finished I rushed home to spread the news I just got. My mum was delighted and so was I for that day. But as the days passed so did my interest in the trials. The rain was not going away and I was afraid that I’d have to play in that freezing weather and my fingers don’t take numbness very well.

It’s sunday after church and honestly, I was tired, I was just not in the mood for playing rugby, it was horrible. But my mum and dad said, “If you don’t go then you’ll have to do the chores around the house with us”. That was my cue to leave, I would have rather played rugby than done chores for about an hour! So I packed my bag and Anth (dad) dropped me off and came and supported me with my brother Levi.

There are 6 games in the tournament. I played 4 of them. It was an amazing experience and I’d just like to say thank’s to my mum about making me lunch and a drink. At least when I got home I could just chill to a movie with butter chicken, mmm that was good.

I never had the chance to show you the letter (or part of it) so here it is. The letter wrote,
