Christchurch Football Club

Hey guys i'm back with another blog today. Today I will be talking about the Christchurch Football Club (CFC for short). I am writing about CFC because it is very interesting. CFC is the oldest rugby club in New Zealand! It was founded in 1863. It is the second oldest in the world next to Blackheath in the UK. The club played by there own rules for a couple of years, until in 1870 when rugby was introduced to NZ by Charles John Monro. The Christchurch Football club isn't just for playing rugby. In the winter when rugby is on they also have a number of CFC netball teams. They also have the Christchurch Football Squash there too. I play Netball and Squash for CFC I used to play rugby for them too.

Here are some pictures of the club:


CFC was home to a lot of All Blacks and Black Ferns. Here's the list of All Blacks that's played for this club:

Winter Sport

Hey guys. Today I will be talking about  winter sport! I've done a post about this before so if you've read it you'll know that in winter sports you can have a 1st choice a 2nd choice and a 3rd choice. For my first choice I chose Netball, Then I chose Soccer, then Rugby. I did a mini tryout for rugby. Then I had to tryout for soccer then netball. I got put into netball. Which is good because I play it out of school to! I got put into the B netball team. So I was in the second best netball team. I first started off playing GA which is goal attack so I was a shooter. then I changed over to WD which is wing defence. I forgot what we came in our division but  think we played good. Anyway that's all for today bye!

Winter Sports

Hey guys i'm back!!!! For this blog i'll be talking about WINTER SPORTS!! So for those people that don't know what winter sport's are heres an explanation for it. So you get to choose from 4 sport's and those sports are Hockey, Netball, Rugby and Soccer. You have to fill out a form were you have to write down your choices for what you want to do most. I wrote down Netball then Soccer then Rugby and then Hockey. I chose netball first because I love itπŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’– I'm also playing netball for the Christchurch Football Club on Saturday mornings!!! For winter sport we just play on Thursdays at school. At the end of winter sports all of the schools that did winter sports all go to hagly park.  At hagly we split up and go with teachers for what sport were playing and the schools verse each other for what sport they are playing. I learnt not that much when I did Netball trials but I did learn that we should always be respectful while waiting for your turn. That's me signing off for today's blog!!

Do you play a sport? If yes then what sport?
