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.
