Girls football team finish the fixtures for the year with a cracker!

Clockhouse finished off the sports fixtures for 2016 with a trip to local neighbours Crowfield for a girls football friendly.

The game started well, with both sides putting on a good show. The first goal was always going to be important and luckily it came for Clockhouse with an unstoppable hard driven shot from outside the area, credit to Gracie H for the finish. Crownfield did not switch off though and the contest continued at a good pace. Clockhouse managed to double the advantage when Sophie L scored a great goal following some fantastic dribbling from Jodie S and a pinpoint cross from Gracie H. 

Crownfield did not allow their heads to drop and proved they were in the contest with a goal of their own. In an exciting game the next goal was to prove crucial, Clockhouse putting the ball in the net after a goal mouth scramble. Gracie H grabbing herself a second goal. Sophie L then tried to do the same and was denied first by a fantastic save from the Crownfield keeper and then by the crossbar. There was time in the game for one last goal. Paris K being rewarded for her tireless running.

It was great to see Lily-Jo G and Emily G playing their first game for the school and impressing along the way. The attacking play was good and Sophie L pushed Gracie H (who is in amazing sporting form as of late) all the way for Player of the Match. As always captain Rosie K and her defence partner Demi B looked solid in all aspects of the game, and Kayleigh M continued her former with another great performance between the sticks, conceding just her second goal of the year. 

A great way to finish for Christmas!
