Dylan's rugby tour

On wedensday night me and my dad headed off to the airport where we met half of our team ( the others were flying indivuidually ) and we boarded the plane. We received merchindise of our team called the dubai exiles. We received a coat, a hoodie, a polo shirt, a jumper and a bag to put it all in. WHen we arrived in england it was early morning so for the rest of the day we took it easy. On Friday we went off to do paintballing with our team. Kids versous dads. The dads did win and yes we got thrashed but we put a good fight against them. My Dad got shot in the butt, the knee, and on the neck twice. I got shot twice in the knee, in the arm and on the eye protecter mask so then i couldnt see. After that was our practice match. We got warmed up and played a team called the bedford blues, which is one of the better teams in torquay. We ended up winning 3-0.


The next day was our tornamount day. Me and my dad went to get some new rugby boots, before i had football ones and we went off to the rugby club. Our first match was against a team called monmourth and we beat them 9-1. These were 10 minute halves and i didnt come off once. Then the next game was against a team called sidcup.we lost 1-0 after a mistake from the referee. our next game was against a team i don not know the name off but we still beat them 7-1.

That was the end of our first day of the tornamount. We went to get some fish and chips then the next day we went back to the same place and had our next match. This was an important match because whoever won went in to the semis. We won 1-0. the next match was a semi final against topsham. The best team in the league and in the whole of Devon. We played and lost 3-1 but the ref was a bad one and made the wrong choices. we had one game which was against sidcup again to see who came 3rd and 4th. We drawed 1-1.

Now we got a holiday we never expected because of the volcanic ash. me and my dad went into windsor to meet my auntie and uncle and we wandered around the streets and met them for dinner. The next day we wnet to london. We went on a big bus tour and saw loads of things like the big ben, houses of parliment, st pauls cathedral, london eye, buckingham palace and the great tower of london. We stopped at the london dungeans and we went in. It was quite spooky because things jumped out at you. It went pitch black alot aswell. There was also a ride where you sat in seats and you went up and up untill u saw ropes and an executioner. he pulled back a leaver and u went dropping down.


My two scariest things were the thing about sweeny todd where he was a hair dresser and he cut your hear and when he finished he slit your throat. What happend was it went pitch black and then you suddenly felt something snip your hear and something on your neck. Luckily when the lights came onhe wasnt there. The next one was about jack the ripper and you heard about his deaths and his throte slashing and his body tearing and then it went dark and the lights went on and the barman was still there. the next thing that happened was it went pitch black and suddenly the lights went on and the barman was gone and jack tje ripper was standing there with a knife then the lights went on and off again and he dissapeared.

After that we were hungry and we went to get some lunch. We then caught the under ground to maddame toussaudes and what it was were clay models of famous people and i got a photo of me with wayne rooney, steven gerrard and david beckham ( who are all famous england footballers ) one with the terminator and jonah lomu ( a famous new zealand rugby player )

That was the end of my trip and i hope i get to go there soon
