My Dad & I were driving to the GAA club Na Fianna when we got lost!!!!!! My dad had just realised that we took a wrong turn we were heading for Sligo!!! I thought we were going to be late for my first match for U11 GAA match. I was very worried. When we finally arrived at Na Fianna GAA club I felt a lot of relief that we weren't late. When we got onto the pitches I had my water and my gum shield was in my gloves,
so I ran over to the rest of my team. While I was running my gum sheild fell out of my pocket.
I had to go searching for it all over the huge grass pitch! Then when I found it I had to run the full length of the pitch and back because I missed streching. When I got back my Dad divided us into two different groups. We were all ready to go and I was getting excited. I felt the competative side of me in me, I was ready to go! Were were getting our position and my Dad and my coach put me into midfield.
The ref blew the whistle and we were off! I was against a fairly big enough girl she was about a foot taller than me! I looked at her and she gave me the "look". I wasnt afraid though. When a teamate of mine kicked the ball wide, it was the goalies kick out. The goalie dropped it short and I cought it and lashed it over the bar! Everybody on the Lucan side was chanting! I felt very happy, but it wasnt over yet.
The girl who I was marking was dragging me all over the place,but I was able for it. When the goalie of Na Fianna kicked the ball down to her forwards I just thought to myself "come on Mia get that ball or else they will score". I tackled for the ball as hard as I could and eventually I got it. I went on a solo run and scored the best point I ever scored! Everybody was chanting Lucan,Lucan,Lucan. My friend from my team called "Saiv" scored another point. At that point the score was 3-0 to 0-0.
The ref blew the whistle for half time. We all gathered up and got our water and oranges. Then we swaped the teams around. My friend "Saiv" scored another 3 goals, but just after that our oppision got a goal. Then another girl on my team called Katie scored another two goals. My friend "Alex" was in midfeild with me. She is a really good player. She was running after a girl that had the ball, but then the girl fell on her face and the ref gave them a free. I was mad because Alex didnt do anything. The girl on Na Fianna missed and our goalie kicked it to me and I kicked it to the forwards. We got another goal. When the ref blew the whistle for the match to be over the score was 3-5 to 0-1 .
We won our match!!!:) I went home and passed out on the couch.
