Futsal Achievements

By Anonymous -
The MAGS Futsal teams have recently come back from Wellington to compete in Futsal Nationals, and achieved 3rd in their grade!

Nicole Muir was one of the players in the Junior Girls futsal Team, and I managed to ask her some questions.

WHAT WAS THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE TOURNAMENT?
I would say it was winning 14-0 against New Plymouth in our first game.

HOW DID YOU GET INTO FUTSAL?
I have played football in the past, and it was an easy transition to futsal.

WHAT WAS ONE THING YOU REGRET AT THE TOURNAMENT?
Losing 4-1 to Marist

WHAT DID YOU DO TO PREPARE FOR THE TOURNAMENT?
I had to do vigorous fitness training some mornings, and we had regular futsal training.

WHAT IS SOMETHING INTERESTING ABOUT THE EVENT?
We had creamy pasta every night at a cafe that was a five to ten minute walk from our hotel. Another interesting thing was that we had to walk to the event stadium every morning.

WHAT WAS YOUR OVERALL OPINION OF THE EVENT?
It was a fun tournament, with plenty of competition. We played 6 games and won 5, so it is disappointing we came third, but I'm very proud we tried our best.

- Jenna Parkin, Ella Mitchell, Jade Robertson & Nicole Muir

The Summer holidays are coming up for those of you who are not yet out of school. And what better thing to do in your holidays than read comics? Well I guess you could go outside ... and read comics. So here's some basic myths about comics debunked followed by details on how you can get into comics that would interest you. 1. They are hard to read. A common comment I hear from people is that comics are too hard to read, the thing is - they're not really. And that's not because I was brainwashed from a young age to understand them. Comic books are literally books, you just read them like books. Left to right and top to bottom. As soon as you get used to it you forget you're even doing it. Action Comics, art by Andy Kubert, written by Grant Morrison 2. They are not all superheroes. Secret Wars #1 cover by Alex Ross Contrary to popular belief superhero comics don't dominate the medium.
