The feeling of back to back gold.

On Sunday 15th of August 2019 I went to Tikipunga in Whangarei. The reason was because the Northland Cup was that day. The Northland Cup is a tournament where teams come and you play teams in your game. The three teams with the most points will go to the knockout stage. The two teams with the most points in knockout stage go to the final. Points system winning is 3 points, drawing is 1 points and losing is 0 points. My team was named City, we came second in the group stage with a total of 3 points and then was put into the finals against United. We were losing 2-0 until we scored a to make it 2-1, "We still have a chance" we said excitedly to each other. Just as a lady went to press the buzzer to end the game Harry scored a goal from just inside of the half way. It was powerful, high and dipped into the net in the last 10 seconds. The most intense part of the game, penalty shootout. Our first shot was a goal and then only when it was the last teams shot they scored, missing that shot would have made us win, but they scored to stay in the game. Right then all they needed was a goal to win, but we needed a goal and then for them to miss because we started. Then we scored we were so happy and all we needed we for the next penalty taker missed. As we were wishing the next penalty taker missed, we ran to our goalkeeper in celebration of victory. We headed back to the changing rooms and got out of our football kits. Then we headed through the aisle to the next room were prize giving was happening.
As United lined up they got there silver medal and they took some photos. Then City went up, we were so excited to get our gold medals. We all got our gold medals then we took some photos. That is the story of how we won the under 10s gold medal, two years in a row I have won the Northland Cup.
