     Last year after the SA2 exams, there was the inter class sports. There were 2 sports, namely soccer and floorball. I played soccer for my class as i did not think i was that good at floorball. I played as the defender, mainly because of my big size and also the fact that i was not that good at dribbling the ball. The ball used for the soccer inter class was very heavy, in a way that you cannot kick it high. Even if you kick the ball with all your strength, the ball will just roll on the ground. I think that should be an area for improvement, as it was really hard to play with that ball.

     We played the first two games and we lost both of them. I was scared that our team's morale was lowered. This did not seem to be the case when we won the next match. At this point, our team was thrilled and enthusiastic for the next match. We won the next match, the match after that, and we were on a winning streak. The last game was against 1H. We had no desire to lose this match. The score was 2-1 and we were winning. The whistle blew but the match carried on as the official who was in charge did not notice the whistle. They scored a goal, but it was not counted as the officials decided that the match had already ended. This led to a quarrel between our class and 1H. The match was important as the winner would have been in second place. Luckily, they decided not to quarrel unnecessarily and they took the third place.

     Although there was a lot of name calling during the quarrel, I still think that they showed sportsmanship as they did not give up when they were a goal down. However, I think they should have been less furious. If I were in their position, I would have just accepted third place as at least we still get a trophy. I hope this would not happen again if there is an inter class games this year.
