Ø Points: Introduction
– A large crowd gathered – An exciting match – Conclusion.
Ø One
day the captain of the Don Bosco School Football XI sent us challenge for a
friendly match. Our captain, Rafi approached the principal to seek his
permission. The challenge was accepted. An order was circulated in the school
about the date and time of the match.
Ø A
large crowd, consisting mainly of students had gathered in our foot-ball ground
to witness the match. Many outsiders also came to see the match. Suitable
seating arrangement was made for the teachers of both the schools.
Ø At
quarter to five both the teams entered the field. They were in their colorful
uniforms and looked quite smart and active. At exact 5 pm the referee blew the
whistle and the play began. The teams seemed equally balanced. For a long time
it appeared that no side would win, though both the sides played very well. The
ball remained mostly in the centre of the field.
Ø Our
players, however, began to press the players of the opposite team. The forwards
made several good moves but the players of the Don Bosco defended bravely.
Their halfbacks played extremely well. The captain of the opponent team was
also a good runner. He once kicked the ball so hard that the goal was certain.
But our goalkeeper was alert enough to save it. A few minutes before the
interval, our captain stole a chance. He out witted the defense of the Don
Bosco’s team and scored a beautiful goal. This made the opponents furious. They
made several raids to our goal post but in vain. The referee whistled and it
was time for lemon.
Ø The
game in the second half became exciting from the beginning. The team of Don
Bosco School did their best for an equalizer. But it was not easy task to break
the defense of our team. Our players also doubled their efforts to score
another goal. During the last five minutes the game was very brisk. But the
long whistle ended the match.
Ø Our
team won the match. We were wild with joy on our victory. The Principal patted
the captain’s back.
