Netball Victory

Yesterday afternoon Clockhouse took a large squad to St. Peters for our opening game of the netball league.

After losing at the semi-final stage last year, the children knew that it was important to get off to an impressive start this time around if they want to fulfill our potential this year, especially with this being the first of three league games within two weeks.

From the outset Clockhouse were in full swing, showing the speed that has been ever present as of late in training. Team captain Daisie S-E opened the scoring with her first of five scores.

The first third ended with Clockhouse leading 7-1. Daisie being joined on the scored card by Gracie-May H. Credit must go to the whole squad but in particular the attacking four who moved the ball so smoothly.

As the second period began Clockhouse handed debuts to Katie K, Charlie T, and Tajus with all three impressing from the start. With a shake up in the line up Shannon I continued with her impressive start to the sporting year by scoring twice to extend Clockhouse's lead to 9-1 by the end of the second period.

Credit must go to St. Peters who did not give up and they were rewarded with their second score of the game early in the final period. But as Summer S and Caitlin M re-entered the game the speed stepped up once more. As a result Clockhouse scored another six times in the final period. Niamh S scoring three at her first outing as Goal Shooter and Caitlin  showing how sharp her shooting is from long range, netting three times herself. There was even time at the end to welcome Lily S-E onto the pitch. Lily becomes the youngest child to ever represent the school at netball being only in Year 3. 

Final score St. Peters 2 - 15 Clockhouse.

Well Done to the whole squad as Clockhouse take their place at the top of the league.
