Kowhai Corner Girls Football Team

 

Polly is busy sewing the uniform for the Kowhai Corner girl’s football team.


Polly has finished sewing the football team uniform and has asked the girls to call in to the sewing room after school to try the uniforms on and to each choose a number.


The girls have chosen the numbers they each want and put the tops on the table with the number on top. Oh! No! too many have chosen number 17. How will she decide who can keep number 17? Polly puts the girl’s names in a bag and the one she draws out keeps number 17. The other girls who chose 17 will choose another number.



It is a cold and overcast day the day of the football match between the Kowhai’s and Coaster’s. The girls travel in a van to the East Coast Bays Park where the match will take place. Kalvin is with the team and will play for either side if necessary.


Julia and CC are at the park to greet them and gets the teams organized. CC is going to be the referee for this game.


Kalvin and the Kowhai team notice Julia hasn’t put the numbers on her team’s uniform. Oh, well CC is the referee so that will be his problem! Only nine players from the Coasters team have turned up to this match.

Both teams enjoy the football game and the score is 0-0.


Julia has been to McDonald’s and comes back with takeaways and lets her five dogs out of the carry bag. 


Everybody involved has enjoyed the day.


Kalvin presents CC with a key ring and thanks him and Julia for arranging this match. Kalvin is given a pin of the mascot of the FIFA Woman’s Football World Cup. Next the Coasters will come to Kowhai Corner for a match.

*Julia is a chosen name not the name on her name tag.
