Warriors Game
On July 3rd 2022 I had the opportunity to go to the Warriors vs Tigers game, I was lucky enough to have my friend be chosen as well. My friend was Brookie.
On the day of the game my Dad dropped me off to where we were supposed to meet up which was Glen Innes School. When I got there I stood at the gate where everybody else was. My dad was on the other side of the road waiting for us to leave so that he can make sure I’m safe. It took around 5 minutes and my Friend has arrived. She came to stand near me and we were bursting with excitement. After 15 minutes of Standing and Waiting Mr Herlihy took attendance and we were off. Brookie and I went and sat at the 2 front seats of the bus. We sat and talked the entire way. The ride took around 20 minutes.
We were on our way to Mt Smart Stadium. When we were near the stadium we saw a ton of people walking. Once we got to the Stadium we had to find a parking spot which wasn’t really hard because we were in a bus. We had to wait in the bus for a little while. After waiting for what felt like hours we were allowed to get off the bus.
We went inside and we all got a free warriors flag. I was waving it a lot and we weren’t even in our seats. On our way to our seats there were performers drumming and it was very loud. We stood there and watched them perform for a little bit. When they stopped we then started to find our seats, we went in and found our seats after about 10 minutes. When we were getting into our seats there were a lot of switching seats happening.
After 20 minutes of switching seats we finally got our seats sorted out. I was able to sit next to Brookie which I was really excited about. We were waiting and the sun was blinding. We were watching for about 45 minutes to an hour and then the Game started. We got drinks which were really refreshing because the sun was making it very hot. We were watching and waving our flags like crazy. Brookie and I were cheering a lot. We weren’t even 15 minutes in the game and my throat was already sore. My arm was also sore from waving the flag up in the air.
The Warriors were in the lead by a lot. I already had a feeling in my gut that the Warriors were gonna win. Every time the Warriors got a Try the crowd would cheer like crazy, but when the Tigers got a Try the stadium would not be very happy. We were all very hungry so when the food arrived we were all very excited and happy. Brookie wasn’t as hungry because she just finished eating lollies in front of my face.
In conclusion after watching intensely until the end the Warriors won. The scores were 22-2. We were cheering so loud our voice cracked. I was so happy at the end. I was also very grateful that I even had the chance to go.
