I am going to explain what my rugby season was like at school. It just ended a week ago. The season has been going on for 12 weeks and we have played 8 competitive games against other schools in south London. The school also plays two other major sports: hockey and cricket.

At my school we play rugby matches against other schools every Friday or Saturday. In addition, I trained every Tuesday and Friday for 2 hours. For the first games we played we sadly lost.  Whereas, in other matches we won. In two matches I have been the captain, I also was made man of the match! I was very happy.

I would say I am a good captain as I get my team in shape and stop arguments that happen, for example, two people wanted to be in the same position and who wanted to kick. To solve this, I replied by saying take turns and see who does better in the position and doing the kicking.

In the games I have played there were some teams that were really hard to even score one try against. On the other hand, some schools were really easy and we won by alot.There have been some games where there have been insanely fast players who are the main team scorers. A further point, we tried as hard as we could even if the team was really good.

Now that the season has ended, I would like to say that my teammates and I did a good job, even if we lost matches. I have been going to rugby training twice a week, every week, so that not only shows my commitment, it also means I will get into a better team and be the captain again. I always enjoyed coming to training as I get to play with my friends and show how good I am.

You might get muddy but it’s worth it. Even though the season has ended I will still play rugby.
