Touch football

Touch football is an energetic sport that is played on a rectangular shaped field with twelve players six on each side. It is played by men and women all around the world.

There are many different rules follow in order to play the game properly. You have to be in line with the dummy half at when the other team has the ball. When you touch someone from the opposing team you must go back five metres or you will be penalized the only tome that you don’t go back five metres is if the other team is awarded a penalty and therefore you go back ten metres.

The aim of the game is to score a try by grounding the ball over the try line. In order to stop the other team from getting a try you must defend them without giving away a penalty by contacting.

A good tactic is to dummy by giving them the impression and then dummying the other way so you can easily move around them. To be a successful touch football player you need good hands and fast reflexes and most importantly speed to be able to catch, pass, kick, touch and score.

My favourite Olympic moment

Olympic super heavy weightlifting champion Matthias Steiner representing Germany has claimed the title of the strongest man in the world. He succeeded in lifting ten kilograms more than his personal best (258kg) in clean and jerk section. It was a very emotional win for him and his family. At the medal presentation he held up a picture of his wife Susann who tragically died in a car accident last year after only being married for 3 years.“I thought of her before the competition,” he said. “I won this for her, for friends and family. But mostly for her.”

A Poem For Steve

THE CROCODILES ARE CRYING

Endless visions fill my head – this man – as large as life
And instantly my heart mourns for his angels and his wife
Because the way I see Steve Irwin – just put everything aside
It comes back to his family – it comes back to his pride

His animals inclusive – Crikey – light the place with love!
Shine his star with everything he fought to rise above
The crazy-man of Khaki from the day he left the pouch
Living out his dream and in that classic ‘Stevo’ crouch

Exploding forth with character and redefining cheek
It’s one thing to be honoured as a champion unique
It’s one thing to have microphones and spotlight cameras shoved
It’s another to be taken in and genuinely loved

But that was where he had it right – I guess he always knewFrom his fathers’ modest reptile park and then Australia Zoo
We cringed at times and shook our heads – but true to natures call
There was something very Irwin in the make up of us all

Yes the more I care to think of it – the more he had it right
If you’re going to make a difference – make it big and make it bright!
Yes - he was a lunatic! Yes - he went head first!
But he made the world feel happy with his energetic burst

A world so large and loyal that it’s hard to comprehend
I doubt we truly count the warmth until life meets an end
To count it now I say a prayer with words of inspiration
May the spotlight shine forever on his dream for conservation

…My daughter broke the news to me – my six year old in tears
It was like she’d just turned old enough to show her honest fears
I tried to make some sense of it but whilst her Dad was trying
His little girl explained it best…she said “The crocodiles are crying”

Their best mate’s up in heaven now – the crocs up there are smiling!
And as sure as flowers, poems and cards and memories are piling
As sure as we’ll continue with the trademarks of his spiel
Of all the tributes worthy – he was rough…but he was real

As sure as ‘Crikey!’ fills the sky
I think we’ll miss ya Steve…goodbye

Steve Irwin

The Tragic death of Steve Irwin took the world by surprise. Killed by a stingray while filming a documentary he was immediatly rushed to safety but many say that he was killed instantly. The doctors tried very hard to keep him alive but failed. He was born on the 22 February 1962 in Essendon, Victoria, Australia and died 4 September 2006,Port Douglas,Queensland, Australia. He owned Australia Zoo which his father started. Apparently the stingray just happened to be swimming past when out of the blue it’s tail stabbed him in the chest. Steve Irwin did nothing to harm the stingray. Ferre De Deyne (friend) said ”It is absolutely tragic. I have dived so many times with stingrays and they are usually very placid things”. He was a devoted husband,son and father to Bindi and Bob Irwin. He had a passion and enthusiasm for wildlife especially crocs and cared for all living creatures great and small and his catchcry ”Crikey”.
