Tonight Clockhouse took 22 children to Squirrels Heath for a netball fixture.
The game was played in thirds. Clocks obviously weren't feeling the cold as they came flying out the blocks with 13 unanswered scores in the first third. The movement in attack to loose markers looked sharp and the effort to defend from the attacking third was ruthless.
In the second third Clockhouse kept their feet on the gas and found the hoop a further 9 times. Squirrels Heath tried to attack but the work rate and pace from Clockhouse with and without the ball would of been hard for anyone to deal with.
In the final third Clockhouse netted another 3 times. But Squirells Heath had a never say die attitude playing throught with smiles on their faces. One of the biggest cheers of the evening was when the Squirrels Heath Goal Attack scored to get the home side onto the board.
After the game Mr Yarrow said 'Tonight's game has been one of my favourite in all my time at Clockhouse! To have 22 children representing the school across 3 year groups I think is a huge success and a credit to just how strong this brilliant school is in the sporting environment. It was great to see so many children on both sides smiling and enjoying playing sport! Credit to our hosts who did not give up all the way until the end!
Tonight we had many nervous children making their first appearance in a sports fixture for Clockhouse and what was great was to see those nerves evolve into smiles as they began playing.
The result is fantastic but what excites me more is how great all the players looked on the court! The children were ruthless taking every chance in attack whilst hard allowing the oppostion into our third in defence.
The short term and long term future of netball at the school is bright! Thank you to our amazing parents/supporters for being there for the children.'
