Silver Ferns
On the 13th of October my mum and I went to go watch the Silver Ferns play
against the Australian Diamonds in the first Constellation Cup match.
My mum and I arrived at Horncastle Arena around 3:15pm to get seated and ready
for the match because the game started at 4:00pm.
When both teams stepped out onto the court it was like there was a whole new
energy in the arena everyone was cheering and dancing it was amazing.
While both teams were warming up there were people who were giving out spot
prizes for the best dancing and I won, The prize chocolate and lucky enough it
was one of my favourites black forest. Finally the game started but they were
running a bit late so the game started around 4:15,
The 1st quarter was amazing there were so many great plays by each of the teams
and gladly the Silver ferns were winning!,
The 2nd quarter was even better Silver Ferns were still winning and there were
just some outstanding plays.
At the end of the 3rd quarter sadly the Silver Ferns were losing, but it was ok
because there still I more quarter. It was finally 50 seconds until the game was
finished and the Silver Ferns were winning everyone was cheering on both teams!!.
Everyone was counting down 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and the Silver Ferns won the first
2019 Constellation Cup match , Everyone was cheering with joy and dancing!!!.
After the game the Silver Fern and the Australian Diamonds were doing autographs
there was a massive crowd waiting to get autographs but some how I manged to get
in the front row while autographs were going I got to meet some of favourite netball
players, it was amazing after all of the autographs I went home and bragged about
my time at the game to my family. Overall it was an amazing experience and I
hope to enjoy it again one day.
