Rounders in Niarobi


About a week ago me and my friends went to Nairobi to play in the Hillcrest Rounders tournament. For those of you who don't know,  Rounders is a sport that is kind of like softball, but you don't use mitts.  We stayed in a hotel called, Bush Camp. In my room there was two bunk beds and two beds. We were super crammed in a room. The day of the tournament we went to Hillcrest the school to play four different schools. The first school we played was Braeburn Nairobi. We won them by a half a rounder (a rounder is a point). The second school we played was Brook House.  We were loosing in the beginning,  but in the end Elaine hit the ball really far.  She ran right into someone, slipped, did a summersault, and hit fourth post. Plus, she scored a rounder and a half for the other time causing obstruction. We ended up winning them by one rounder!  The third school we played was Peponi. Sadly, we lost to them, but in the end they won the whole tournament. So we knew they were a really tough school. The fourth school we played was Pembroke.  We only lost to them by three rounders so it wasn't a huge loss, but they were also a really tough school. In the end, we all got cool rounders t-shirts with all of the schools on them. I really loved spending time with my friends and I'm looking forward to next years rounders tournaments.
