I was in team Underdogs but our nickname was Queensland we were versing New South Wales we started off I got the first shot in coach Gina blew the whistle it was the opposite teams ball . The whistle made my ears ring as sharp as a seagull's cry. They soon caught up. We were in the last 10 seconds we got 1 point then on the last second new south wales scored the last point we lost by one point the points were 20-21 we had to swap over so the other team Called queensland tigers went on the netball court to verse new south wales .
Next new south wales started off they went and shot a lot of goals it was even then all of a sudden the tigers got tons of shots they even got a shot from outside of the circle there was a battle .They were battling like the spartans vs the romans it was epic but the tigers won the game we still had to do the total the places the 1st 2nd and 3rd.
