Devon Intermediate Sports Exchange

On Monday 2nd September, Devon Intermediate School from New Plymouth, Taranaki came to Mokoia for a school sports exchange. Mokoia had to defend a trophy called the 'Richard Thomson Cup'. The first session on sports were Girls Football, Year 8 B netball and Mixed basketball. I was helping Amy with the photos of all the sports. It was fun. Mokoia won all there games apart from Rugby. The year 8 B netball team won with a score of 28/12 to Mokoia and the Girls soccer won with 1/0. Also Mixed Basketball won with a score of 68/26. Later on there were other sports played they were Boys soccer, Year 8 A netball, Year 7 A netball and rugby. Year 8  A Netball won there game with 39/8, Boys Soccer won with a score of 2/1.  Year 7 A netball won 28/5 and Rugby lost with a total score of 68/23. Overall the Devon exchange was really cool and I'm so happy that we won the trophy and the girls soccer won there game for the 8th year in a row. I had a billet it was really fun and cool. My billets name was Tayla the same as mine. I think that Devon was really cool and the disco last night was awesome as well. So overall a really cool experince for me. :)
