This week I did lots of stuff. I went to the Nelson Mathix with my team since we won the Broadgreen Mathix (a math competition).
We were in the lead and then we got stuck on question 15. Eventually we got it with Finley's lucky number......?? The question was there are 41 heads and 130 legs on a farm. The farmers has turkeys and cows, how many turkeys are there? When we got it we were two questions behind the leading groups. In the end the other Broadgreen team got first and we got fifth.
On Thursday and Friday all the intermedite schools from the Top of the South Island met for winter tournament. I was on the school's soccer team and we played other good schools, but we had Sam Maxwell at forward. He and Corey scored two goals for a 2-0 lead over Boholly. It was the first time we'd won since 2004. We pretty much had a clean sweep over all of the events. We(Broadgreen) were the overall winners.
Finally, on Saturday my club soccer team had a practice playoff game vs our enemy the Bright field Bombers. the score was 4-4, but we lost in penalties.
