The Football Match
My boyfriend Fred and I went a football match yesterday. Our school team was playing against the High School team. Our team wore red and white shirts, white shorts and red stockings. The other team wore orange and black shirts, black shorts and orange stockings. ‘They look like bees’, my brother said, and we laughed.
They played like bees too. They ran very fast, attacked very hard and passed the ball to each other very fast. Soon they scored their first goal. Fred and I shouted and shouted, ‘Come on, Valleys !’ Our headmaster was near us and he was shouting too. But the High School scored another goal. We were very sad!
Then one of the ‘ bees’ stopped the ball with one of his hands, so our team got a free kick. Our captain took it-and scored a goal. We shouted, ‘ Hooray!’ The score was now two:one. That was better!
Now our team began to play better-or the’ bees’ were getting tired. Our team scored another goal before half-time.
In the second half of the match, both teams tried very hard, but neither scored, so at the end of the score was still two all.
