Clockhouse remain undefeated ahead of busy month of netball

Girls football team building momentum nicely for important block of fixtures ahead

The girls football team looked fantastic tonight in their new football kit, but it was the football that did the talking!

With some new players being brought in due to their hard work and dedication to training it took the girls a few minutes to find there feet as our visitors Harrow Lodge Academy tried to attack. But the Clockhouse defence was solid all game. Rameen S and Darci L both putting in some strong tackles.

Once the team was familiarised with each other there was no stopping them. Captain Sophie L looked untouchable the whole afternoon and deservedly opened the scoring. It was not long before Sophie and Clockhouse doubled their tally for the day following some nice passing play in midfield from Beth C and Holly W.

Before the half time break debutant Rachel C had time to grab herself a brace.

Credit to Harrow Lodge who never let their heads go down despite a great team performance from Clockhouse.

Sophie L went on to grab her hat trick and a 4th in a master class performance, following some accurate passing from Lily S-E and Ruby N who were both unlucky not to get their names on the scoresheet.

A great Clockhouse win as the team advance to the quarter finals of the borough cup. The girls will host a very strong St Joseph's team next Tuesday at Clockhouse. The girls are undefeated this season but both schools will fancy their chances. If you are free please feel free to come & watch thus fantastic group of girls in action!

Final Score: Clockhouse 7 - 0 Harrow Lodge 

Squad: Kayleigh M, Rameen S, Grace D, Ruby N, Beth C, Sophie L (c), Rachel C, Lily S-E, Holly W, & Darci L

Player of the Match: Rachel C

Half Term fun!



Dedicated Clockhouse win West Ham Premier League Competition!

After a wet and unfortunate result on Wednesday Clockhouse boys football team were back in action today at West Ham United's region of the Premier League Stars Football Tournament.

Clockhouse travelled outside the borough to The Brentwood Centre to meet numerous school, most of whom were outside the borough and the school has never played before. In the Premier League Stars Tournament you must go through regional events with an aim of actually representing the Premier League Club in a national event later in the year.

Clockhouse played some beautiful football and won their first game against West Horndon 2-1. Next up was the battle of Havering as Clockhouse met Benhust, again the boys won 2-1. This result was of specific importance as Clockhouse have been drawn against Benhurst in the next round of the Havering Cup. Next up was a narrow defeat to Ingatestone 1-0 despite having chances to get a draw. Clockhouse then met a strong St Peters (South Weald) side knowing a win was required to stay in contention for the tournament. A fantastic game ended 1-0 to Clockhouse. The final game saw Clockhouse play Shenfield St Marys. The group was so close and any of three teams could of won the league and progressed to the next stage of the Premier League Tournament. Clockhouse went behind early on, but drew level midway through the game from a corner. With time running out Clockhouse scored a late goal to win 2-1. The late goal was vital as it took Clockhouse through to the 2nd stage of West Ham United's Premier League Stars Tournament.

Congratulations to all the boys involved in the last two days of football. Some fantastic football was played and the boys really did deserve some success. The next stage of the tournament will be Thursday 22nd February.

Squad: Charlie B, Alfie P (c), Bobby I, Bobby L, James O, Max N, Kaylan B, Micah R, &  Charlie M​

Scorers: Charlie M x 4, James O x 2, Alfie P

Player of the Tournament: James O




Mixed emotions after Havering Boys Football Tournament

Despite horrible weather condions the boys football team were on fire at the Havering Football Tournament. Clockhouse met local school Oasis Pinewoods first up and in a flawless performance won 5-0. Next Up for Clockhouse was reigning champions Branfil, who were also dispatched with ease by the impressive Clockhouse boys, this time 3-0. The next group game was a Collier Row derby as Clcokhouse met St Patricks winning 2-0. The next game ended up being the group decider as Clockhouse lost 1-0 to a strong Towers side who deserved their victory. Clockhouse had a final group game against Hacton and a thrilling end to end game finished 1-1.

Clockhouse finished 2nd in their group overall. After the tournament Mr Yarrow reflected saying ' I have a bitter sweet feeling. The boys played so well and did the school proud. We lost just one game which is a good record considering the short, sharp, intense games. As you can imagine the Borough boys football tournament was very popular and all six group winners along with the best two runners up went into the quarter final. We got 10 points out of a possible 15 so we must have only missed out narrowly on a quarter final place. Well done lads!'

Squad: Charlie B, Alfie P (c), Bobby I, Bobby L, James O, Max N, Kaylan B, Micah R, &  Charlie M

Scorers: Bobby I x 2, Max N x 2, Charlie M x 3, James O x 2, Kaylan B, & Micah R

Player of the Tournament: Charlie M

Clockhouse do brilliantly at Boccia

For the first time Clockhouse Primary School entered two teams into the Havering Borough Boccia Tournament. Boccia is a precision ball sport similar to bowls. The sport is contested at local, national and international levels, by athletes with physical / learning disabilities. It was originally designed to be played by people with cerebral palsy but now includes athletes with other disabilities affecting motor skills. In 1984, it became a Paralympic sport, and in 2008 was being practised in over fifty countries worldwide.

Team A played 6 games winning 3 out of 6 while Team B won 5 of 7. The results meant Clockhouse finished 3rd and 4th in the tournament. This is a huge success for the school to have two teams working so well and achieving great results! But the children taking part did the school proud!!!!

WELL DONE TEAM CLOCKHOUSE!!!!

Team A - Elizabeth A, Leylan S, Leon W

Team B - Harley H, Jeffery S, Elliot R
