Netball Injury!

Eight years ago I played a netball match at my school sports meeting.

It was the second half of the match. I felt tired. But I was doing my best to play well. A player from the other team threw the ball to another player and I tried to catch it. Suddenly I lost my balance, slipped and fell.

I don't remember anything about the next few minutes. My friends ran forward to help and took me to the rest room. I had leg wounds and was bleeding.

Teachers, friends and my mum cleaned my wounds, bandaged them and applied antiseptic.
It was so painful and I couldn't bear it!

I felt dizzy with the pain and the shock. It took nearly six hours to recover and it was the most unforgettable and painful experience of my life.

Badminton

This game is a very hard, exciting and intereting one to play.We can play this game as a singles or doubles match.
There are two pieces of equipment called the racket and shuttlecock. These are very expensive in my country.
The game is played in a court. In the middle is a net about five feet high.
If we play singles we remove the sideline. If we play doubles we use the whole court.
Badminton is an international game.
I like playing badminton. I play for my office.

One Bounce Cricket Game

Note: We play this cricket game at scouts camps and when we only have a small area to play in.
Rules of the Game
The players should divide into two teams with 11 members each. Just like 50 overs cricket there are two players batting and the opposition team fields.
The batsmen should try to hit the ball so that it flies over the fielders' heads. But it must bounce once.
If the ball doesn't bounce the batsman is out.
The other rules are just like 50 overs cricket:
*if the ball hits the wicket while batting or running between the wickets, or the batsman is caught, then the player is out
*if the bowler delivers a ball far away from the wicket it is called a wide
or if the bowler's foot lands in front of the crease it is a no ball - the other side gains extra runs
This is not a simple game to play. We must concentrate and have patience. We can build up patience, concentration, teamworking, quick responsiveness and a lot of skills through this game.
