Yesterday Clockhouse took part in the new format netball league. As defending champions the team always set themselves high expectations. Despite the change in weather the team wanted to get out early and get moving.
Clockhouse dominated the afternoon really making a statement to other schools in the borough.
First up Clockhouse met Mawney. Despite the shooters taking a while to get their eye in Clockhouse had full control of territory and possession. As the shooters began scoring Clockhouse had a steady flow of success winning their first league game in emphatic style.
FINAL SCORE: Clockhouse 11 vs 0 Mawney
SCORERS: Lily S-E x 8 and Mia C x 3
Next up was Clocks toughest test of the afternoon, St Albans. The opposition moved at a frantic pace but Clockhouse technically picked their opponents apart with some precise passing and great movement off the ball. At full time Clockhouse successfully kept their 2nd opponent scoreless.
FINAL SCORE: Clockhouse 6 vs 0 St Albans
SCORERS: Lily S-E x 4 and Mia C x 2
Finally Clockhouse played St Peters knowing a win guaranteed them a fourth league title in succession. Clockhouse were in a ruthless mood and showed a hunger for success limiting the amount of time St Peters had possession of the ball for. When the final whistle blew Clocks had recorded their highest score of the day and secured the 2018 Havering North League Title.
FINAL SCORE: Clockhouse 16 vs 1 St Peters
SCORERS: Holly W x 5, Lily S-E x 4, Kayleigh S x 4 and Mia C x 3
Mr Yarrow said 'In previous years Clockhouse have been known as a strong netball school and every year when we loose our senior players to secondary school I can not help but worry. Once again the Clockhouse children have stepped up and filled the big shoes they had to fill. I think a lot of this continued stem of amazing players comes from the hard work Mrs Hickman puts in with the younger netball children and sometimes it goes unnoticed so I just wanted to say a personal thank you. I am really looking forward to playing a game in November where we will take 3 teams to Squirrels Heath and really show our strength in depth!
I must also thank Miss Ettridge for her umpiring and general game knowledge that really gives the squad a greater netball understanding. Also thank you to our, as always, loyal supportive parents!
Today was great for the school the netball squad looked incredible and to win a league title in the first term of the new year is a massive achievement!!! It wasn't just the win it was the class they showed to beat other sides. I felt sorry for Brooke A, Kayleigh S, Hayden M and John O who rotated in defence today but had little work to do in the cold due to the strong attacking performances! Keep up the great sporting success!'
SQUAD: Brooke A, Hayden M, Holly W, Max N, Ruby N, Lily S-E (c), Mia C, Kayleigh S, John O, & Frankie R
PLAYER OF THE TOURNAMENT: Holly W
