Sports in Hamilton this Weekend

Our Auckland team were invited to compete against the Waikato wheelchair sports group in Hamilton this weekend. Yesterday only four of us, out of the eight players in the Auckland team went to Hamilton. Dad arrived to pick me up at 9.30am and off we went to Hamilton in the lovely wet weather!! It rained most of the way, some heavy spells of rain too. We got there early enough to have some lunch. I was glad to find two disabled toilets there, each had a rail on either the left or right side.

Playing Hockey
We played hockey first and it was a lot of fun even though the gym was tiny. Auckland team took the win of 2-0. The Waikato players did pretty well and it was good to meet up with them. They are a younger group of players than our group.


Playing Balloon Soccer
We them had a quick game of balloon soccer and that was a crazy game as the Waikato team kept taking the balloon down our end and scoring for us heheh. We did score a couple of our own goals though XD

It was great to finally be able to compete as an Auckland team instead of splitting up the team to practice against each other.

After playing some sports we headed off to an Foocie opening and to welcome the new Muscular Dystrophy Northern Waikato Field Worker, as well as afternoon tea for everyone. I had a nice hot cup of tea and some choco cake. I took more photos and talked to people. Dad and I left about 3.10pm and headed back to Auckland. We stopped at Bombay rest area and had some food and a drink at AUTOBAHM Cafe then home. I enjoyed the day out.
