Last week Clockhouse attended the Havering Tag Rugby League. With a squad that had only trained together once, and not played a competitive rugby fixture in years due to covid, there was a big feeling of the unknown.
Clockhouse were partnered with some big rugby schools like Upminster Juniors and Mead.
Clockhouse got off to an amazing start though with a 4-0 victory against Drapers Brookside. A strong defensive display was matches with strong carries when attacking.
Secondly Clocks met Drapers Pyrgo. Another 4 try's for team Clockhouse as some fast footwork proved to much for their opponents. Final score 4-1.
Clockhouse then came up against Harold Wood in a fixture that would really challenge the teams defence. The result finished a 1-1 draw.
Im the penultimate game Clockhouse met a strong Upminster Juniors side who passed the ball nicely in attack. Luckily some fast solo runs combined with dazzling footwork gave Clockhouse the win and put Clocks into poll position.
Finally Clockhouse met Mead knowing that a win would have them crowned champions. Clockhouse played with a high tempo and caught Mead on the back foot to claim a 4-0 victory and be named as winners on the day.
As a result of the victory Clockhouse move forward to another tournament for all the regional winners.
Mr Yarrow said 'Our children never fail to impress me! With one training session the children picked up the game plan and identified our style of play.
There was great team work and individual brilliance. But the most important thing was to have the children out playing sport and having fun! I'm excited to see what's next for this team!
Thank you as always to the parents who helped with transport.
Well done team Clockhouse you've done us proud yet again!'
