Clockhouse Girls storm into the next round of the cup!

After an agonising defeat with just 36 seconds left in extra time for the boys football team earlier in the week, the girls looked to end the week with some cup success.

Clockhouse travelled to Scotts who the girls had managed to beat earlier in the league season. Despite the earlier victory Mr McGlinchey had the girls motivated for the game, after all we all know what can happen in cup games.

Clockhouse were in no mood to mess around and were in the lead within minutes of kick off when a powerful run and a ferocious right food shot from Paris K flew into the top corner giving Clockhouse the lead.

This set the tone for the half as Clockhouse bombarded the Scotts goal and were unlcky not to strengthen their hold on the game with Sophie L going close and Gracie H hitting the woodwork. After a dominating midfield performance Gracie finally bagged herself a goal just before the end of the first half.

With Clockhouse dictating the speed of the game it was a great opportunity to hand a debut to Rameen S and an on pitch debut to Demi B from year five.

In the second half the Scotts goal was under pressure again and Paris K doubled her tally for the day and ended any chance of a Scotts victory.

Final Score Clockhouse 3 - Scotts 0

Clockhouse march on to the next round of the cup.

Player of the Match: Gracie H
