Following the success in the Havering Borough Girls Cricket Competition Clockhouse girls were selected to represent Havering at the London Youth Games. This is only the third time Clockhouse have represented Havering at the youth games.
Clockhouse played three games on the day winning one, loosing one, and drawing one. First up was Walthamstow - Greenleaf School. Clockhouse had a solid performance with the bat but struggled in the field ending up with a 264 draw.
Next up the Clockhouse played eventual finalists Kingston - St Marys. Despite a great performance Clockhouse were unable to win mainly thanks to the bowling of the Kingston girls.
Now unable to qualify from the group stages Clockhouse met Ealing - Little Ealing School. Clockhouse put in a great performance in the field picking up a constant flow of wickets and equally found the boundary frequently while batting. Clocks Glided to a 37 run victory.
Mr Yarrow said 'The school has never been to the youth games for cricket before. This is a massive success and I hope these girls realise the level of what they have achieved. We went to the Havering tournament and didn't really understand how good we were. We knew coming to the London Youth Games required a big step up and I couldn't ask for more from the girls in their dedication to extra training. On that note I would like to thank Miss Cason and Ardleigh Green Cricket Club for giving up time and investing into the girls. Every girl improved her cricketing ability and did the school proud. Thank you and ejoy the memroies I am proud of you all!'
Miss Cason said 'It is great to see the girls understanding of cricket has come on so much. They have improved their cricket skills especially bowling. The girls had a great day and represented the school amazingly. I hope they enjoy their t-shirts & ice cream!'
