Yesterday Clockhouse welcomed St Peters from the South Weald for three tag rugby encounters. Due to the schools tag rugby success in recent years more schools, from further a field, are interested in playing us. St Peters brought three strong sides to Clockhouse, who in turn showed our great strength in depth to produce three equally good sides.
Clockhouse were able to finish with an amazing three wins, meaning that we have now played four different sports since returning to school and are yet to taste defeat. This in itself an amazing achievement!!
In the first game Clockhouse Blue Tags convincingly St Peters C Team 20 tries to 5. Stand out performances from Alfie P and Rosie K made sure of an emphatic victory.
Game 2 saw the most nail biting of encounters with Clockhouse Red Tags winning 25-24 with a try in the last play of the game from Casey E. Gracie-May H led by example, with George R putting in a hard working performance.
The final match saw Clockhouse Yellow Tags complete the full house with a win over St Peters A Team 23 - 14. After a slow start, Clockhouse took a narrow lead into half time. But as we grew in confidence during the second half the tempo of the game sped up and Clockhouse began to dictate the game. Every player in the Clockhouse Yellow Tags managed to score at least one try but the girls led the way with School Captain Caitlin M and Summer S top scoring on the day.
Thank you to all the players, teachers and parents from St Peters and Clockhouse for playing a big part in a great occasion, it is rare to have three home fixtures being played on the same day at the same time.
