Cole- Sam Strahan

Rip 1!... rip 2!.... rip 3!....  rip 4!.... rip 5! 5th and final rip!.......rip turn over! yes I whisper. 2  Poppy shouts Brendon races up to Poppy and she pops it over to him. We all run in an angled line behind  Brendon, he makes it through the first few people but then he gets ripped he passes it straight to Tom. He gets into trouble and passes it to me, I side step two people then get ripped. I flick it off to Jamie and she scores a try. Kiwitea start off and my defence instinct kicks in. Olivia sprints with the ball in her right hand and I jump forward and rip her then she passes it to some one else and I rip them straight away. The ball ends up in someone elses hands and i rip them instantly. My group goes in for the next three rips and its our turn over. tom rushes in gets the ball and scores a try. The hooter sounds and the game is over. we won!

Camp recount 2013

Kapiti ... A beautiful place. Birds chirping, trees rustling, ocean colliding with the rocky shore. Every thing so peaceful.... Brum!! as the two outboard engines start up. The skipper sprays us with sea water.
We make our way to the lodge and set up our portable houses(tents). We have the largest tent. Our ten is full of boys. There is Tom, Zahn, Huntah and I.
Swimming time! "Yea!" every one yells. I race into our tent and jump into some togs. We arrive at the sea. I hop into the freezing water, dunk my head under and explore.
Wow! I see a big school of fish floating past, paua blending in with the pink rocks, sea weed waving around and Tom's legs dangling from underneath a log. I lift up my head to hear Tom shouting, "Come on maties! Let's conker New Zealand. Get on your logs and sail away with me!"
After 5 minutes of him screaming I give in and join him.
"Oh noooo!" Tom shouts, "I'm sinking!"
He doggie paddled over to my boat. He sat on the front and the nose began to go under.
"Nooo!" he screamed. "Abandon ship!"
We are forced to swim back to shore. This camp is awesome!
