My name is Kate and I made the Larkin shield. The Larkin is a competition for girls in football and children in 5th and 6th class go for trials to see who can make the panel.
I am from the west and I went for about four trials.
There were about 50 in the beginning and they selected 21 girls for the panel. Our first match was against the city but unfortunately, we lost by three or four points. We were very unlucky.
Then we played the east in the runners up match and we won. The city and the south played against each other in the final and the city won. They got a big shield.
I loved the west and I am very happy that I made the team. It was a great experience and I really hope I make the team again next year.
