An UNDEFEATED term of fixtures following latest netball success!

Last week Clockhouse travelled to La Salette Primary School in Rainham to conclude the Clockhouse fixtures in 2018.

Despite some horrible weather Clockhouse took to the court and started in a uncharacteristicly sloppy way. La Salette had the height advantage and Clocks continually looked for the challenging ball over the top that was not always on. Despite this Clockhouse were still able to take a 3-2 lead into the second quarter.

Clockhouse changed things about in the next quarter and the ball was on the move again. Harry H linking up on numerous occasions with Ben C to give Clockhouse a cussion at half time scoring four unanswered scores.

After half time Clockhouse looked more composed in defence and  more clinical when picking the correct pass. Clockhouse scored another three times while La Salette were kept out despite trying hard to get the ball in the shooting circle.

The final quarter saw Clockhouse confirm the victory with a further four scores while again keeping La Salette scoreless.

Mr Yarrow looked back on the game saying 'Firstly thank you to Mrs Adams for umpiring. La Salette started well and were proving we still have areas to work on. But that being said I think it goes to show our attitude and determination when we were made to work in the openning quarter and we then go on to not concede and further scores. Our strength in depth / number of children that have represented the school in recent games is a real credit to school sport!

Looking past the very successful netball performances for a moment we have also played boys football, girls football, and tag rugby fixtures this term and since we came back in September we have not lost a sports fixture. This is a monumental achievement for the school and it is thanks to the hard work of all the children that have represented the school and also those that have been regularly coming to clubs. Competition for places in all sports is healthy and so many Clockhouse children are making massive contributions. It's been an amazing term!!!

Thank you to every child, coach, volunteer, parent, and member of staff that has contributed to Clockhouse Sport so far this academic year. Have an amazing Christmas and lets keep the momentum flowing in 2019!'

FINAL SCORE: La Salette 2 vs 14 Clockhouse 

SQUAD: Brooke A, Hayden M, Holly W, Max N, Poppy A, Lily S-E (c), Mia C, Ella P, Frankie R, Harry H, Emily G, Kayleigh S, Ben C and Jamie S.

SCORERS: Lily S-E x 3, Mia C x 3, Ben C x 5 and Kayleigh S x 3.

PLAYER OF THE MATCH: Ben C
