Yesterday, we had the first round of our current dodgeball competition.
We had two teams of high schoolers squaring off against two teams of younger kids.
In the first match, the
Dream Team were poorly organised (most of them arriving as the match started), and were outplayed by the younger
Little Saints, losing 2-1. The
Dream Team are developing a habit of playing poorly against younger opponents. The
Little Saints showed good promise in the first outing to
Atomic Dodgeball, strategising well, and at times ambushing the other team.
Our second match saw the fairly new
The Guys & the Girls take to the court, and attempt to salvage some teenage pride. This was not to be. The were some patches of good skill, with a couple of great catches being pulled off. However, their throwing was not on-song, and for a while they looked in danger of being held scoreless by the
Chiefs. The
Chiefs threw the ball low and hard in most cases, making it difficult for their opponents to get out of the way. Eventually,
The Guys & the Girls did manage to win a game & get on the scoreboard. It was far from enough though, as the
Little Saints ran away to a 4-1 win.
The older teams were outdone in round one. It's a relief to know that they can't both lose in round two, as they will be playing against each other.
Next Tuesday's matches are:
4:00pm - Chiefs vs Little Saints.
4:15pm - Dream Team vs The Guys & the Girls.
These should be two tight matches, so come along and have a look. Maybe even register your team for the next tournament!
