On one of the coldest days of the year Clockhouse girls football team went to Woodlands School, Basildon to take part in the Premier League Stars Football Competition area finals.
Clockhouse turned up and despite a little slow start whilst adjusting to the conditions got their first win of the tournament beating St Michael's 2-0. Goals from Mia C and Lily S-E.
Next up Clockhouse met an impressive St Helen's team, but Clocks looked after the ball well and when the opportunity presented itself Ruby N set up Lily S-E for the only goal in a 1-0 victory.
Clockhouse rotated the team to ensure all players were getting a good amount of game time and keeping warm. Despite changes the team looked practically unfazed and got yet another 2-0 win beating Arthur Buglar. Goals from Leah L and Mia C.
Clockhouse had played very well throughout the tournament and needed just a draw to guarantee victory, but the girls were in form and played against a strong Lee Chapel team who needed the win to qualify for the next stages of the tournament. Clockhouse absorbed anything Lee Chapel had to offer and then opened up the game on the counter attack with some fantastic triangular passing. Ruby N being at the right end of the link up play to score a brace and give Clocks the 2-0 victory.
As a result of winning Clockhouse travel next Friday to West Ham for the regional finals of the Premier League Stars Tournament.
Mr Yarrow said 'You wouldn't believe it was minus two today the girls were on fire! Brooke A kept a clean sheet in every game and the outfield players really outclassed their opposition. The link up play of the front three was especially exciting to watch.
I like tournaments like these, where you get to see how the school compare to others outside the borough. The girls looked the part and most certainly played the part!
Next Friday the girls travel to West Ham training ground and if succesful will get the opportunity to represent West Ham in Wolverhampton at the national finals. If the girls play like they did today anything is possible.
The girls won the Havering League last week and the regional Premier League Stars Tournament today they are in fantastic form and are a pleasure to watch! I am genuinely excited for the borough tournament Thursday and the Premier League Stars Tournament regional finals Friday. Keep up the great work girls!
Thank you to parents who transported children to Basildon today and a huge thank you to Mr Mcglinchey for the way he gets the best out of the girls.'
