Secondary sport

On Saturday I went along with 130 other school students on a bus to a village a couple of villages away, where there were different sport games, basketball, netball, volleyball and football. We were told that the bus would be leaving at 2 so we arrived at 5 mins to 2, 2 hours later the bus arrives. The bus driver then tried to turn the bus around but got stuck in some sand so they had to dig the bus out.

The journeys were pretty squashed. The bus is like a normal sized coach. I counted 134 including me Arne, Marlene, 2 other teachers and the bus crew (guys who run the bus). One of the students has a vuvuzela, remember the world cup? There were a couple of students who had whistles and the boys chanted their songs while the girls shouted theirs. It was loud, actually loud is an understatement! On the way I sat on an aisle seat and a student sat on my shoulder, fortunately on the way back I was the last on the bus save the bus crew member who hangs out the door, so I stood next to him while he danced with death.

The netball game everytime there was a score that schools supporters would run on to the pitch dance, shout, scream and what ever else, then quickly run off again. Funny to watch. As the football game was drawing to a close, the bus started it’s engine. Then it started to move, the final whistle went soon after this and the students ran to the bus like ants to jam and it seemed as though they thought they wouldn't all get back on.
